In 2006, I had a heart-thumping experience at the Hamburg airport in Germany. I was a transit passenger coming from Mexico City. Why? Because I nearly missed my flight back to the Philippines. I arrived at the Lufthansa plane as they were about to close the door. The steward quipped that I was damn lucky to make it in the nick of time.
I will explain in my upcoming blog what led to that mishap, despite the fact that I was already issued earlier a connecting flight boarding pass. All I could say for now was I had about three hours of stop over time. Was I simply complacent given that I had all the time in the world? Hmmm…
