Fouad
Finally coming tomorrow...hopefully he can get on the plane in Cairo and doesn't have any problems. G-d I hope there are no problems. I keep having this nightmare that I go to the airport and he is not there...he is still in Cairo arguing with the airline officials...something about this stupid transit visa / no round-trip ticket... unsure.gif

awwww I remember being just so terrified something would go wrong at the airport (one way ticket etc) and didn't relax until he called with boarding passes in hand. I hope everything goes smooth in transit and all of this stress turns out to be for nothing.

Happy reunion rose.gif

Well just as I suspected...the people in Cairo are A$$H*&ES, they would not let him board unless I was flying with him or he had my physical credit card in hand...I asked if I could fax to him a copy with my signature...man at the alitalia stated NO! Now after 2.5 hrs of running around...my fiancee has now missed his flight...not coming tomorrow...

i am in a state of shock right now...very sad...i cannot tell you... crying.gif

So sorry to hear this - i hope he can come soon - - i cant imagine ur feelings now - - - hang in there, ur in my thoughts!
The_dip_sticks
Oh no dont worry. This is just a minor bump. Just think that you are so close to having him here and that soon you will have tings sorted out. Keep us posted.
Cheryl & Medo

Oh noooo !!! I've never heard of such a rule before -- anyone else ever encounter this ?

So sorry to hear of this delay sad.gif Hope you get it sorted out so he can be back on his way home very soon.

I have seen airlines use the credit card used for purchase as an ID to pull up the records, but I have never seen this happen. OMG I am soooo sorry and this was not the roadbump we were expecting. I'm sure you are disappointed he is not arriving when you hoped and its going to be a mess to fight wth all these agencies to get him on that plane, but do remember he has the visa in hand and that was the hard part.

I am curious did you buy his ticket online ??
I am doing the same thing for my husband and wounder if it will be a problem for us too huh.gif
Fouad
I had originally bought his ticket online with alitalia air and that is how we got into so much trouble. For this flight arriving TODAY I called and confirmed it with the airline, then sent him the money and he went and paid for the ticket at the counter there in egypt. I would strongly recommend doing it this way - and FYI, we did not get him a roundtrip ticket.

before I bought my ticket thru delta .com, I called to make sure my husband won t have any trouble with the electronic ticket. I specifically told them that I read on their site that he may be asked about the credit card. I was told NO PROBLEMS, and so I went ahead and bought it . I am so worried now that I know what had happen to you guys. I am not sure if I should call them again ohmy.gif
