This sounds absolutely exhausting… started with a simple booking and just kept getting worse. Schedule change, reroute, then a diversion to Muscat after some kind of incident near Dubai.
After that it’s delays on delays… hours on the ground, long lines, missed connections, even getting stuck again because someone wanted off the plane last minute.
Travel days like this just drain you completely, especially with kids. That feeling of finally getting home must’ve been unreal.
