My Flight

I had booked my flight over the telephone, so I had to rush to the reservation desk to pay my ticket. The woman at the desk told me that my name was not on the passenger list. It took fifteen minutes for her to realize that she had spelled my name incorrectly. She gave me my ticket and told me I'd better check in my luggage quickly or I'd miss my flight.

I was the last person to get on the plane. I found my seat and discovered that I was sitting next to a four-years old boy who had a cold. I sat down and wondered if anything else could go wrong. I hate flying, especially take-off, but the plane took off and everything seemed to be all right.

Then, a few minutes later, there was a funny noise and everything started to shake. I looked out of the window, and oh my God, there was smoke coming out of the wing. Well, you can imagine how frightened I was, but the crew were fantastic. The flight attendants were really calm and told us not to worry. One of them told me to relax and said that everything would be all right.

A few minutes later, we were coming to land. The pilot made a perfect landing on the runway. It was over. We were safe. That day I decided not to fly anymore. I caught another taxi and went home. But as I closed the front door, I looked down at my case. Somehow I had picked up the wrong suitcase.
