At lunch time, I was all but ready to hop on a plane and return home. Funny thing about travelling on stand-by though, is that plans can never keep up with changes. Last I checked before I got to the airport, chances of getting on the lunch time flight was pretty good, the thought of flight filling up due to overbooking never crossed my mind.
15 minutes before the flight was due to depart, I was handed a nice big "FLIGHT FULL, please try later" sign. The next flight back would not depart until just before mid night, a full eleven hours. So there I was, stranded in a distant land, stuck in a foreign airport, with no certain ways to get home.
Good luck.
