To New York next week (Sept 8)
Now I have _finally_ managed to book a ticket to New York.
It has taken me countless hours on the Internet the last week, trying to find deasently priced tickets and convenient itineraries. To no avail, unfortunately… Cheap tickets do exist, but only for people who travel for up to one month or three months or so, I discovered. Or after, for example, September 15 or so.
Also, several bookings were interrupted by the system when I was almost done, and when I had to start again the price had gone up – sometimes considerably.
Only today, I had to call no less than four different customer services (Scandinavian Airlines, MrJet, Kilroy Travel, United Airlines) to sort things out (and none of these calls had anything to do with the ticket that I finally bought)!
Well, after having been online for over four hours today (and it’s _great_ sunshine in Stockholm outside, so my original plan was to do a car excursion to Knutby the entire day!) I was desperate enough to book pretty much anything, and finally ended up paying over SEK 7 000. That’s a lot more than I usually pay for tickets…and I guess I will end up paying more, once I realize the return ticket on June 29 is a completely ridiculous and random date and have to change it.
So, I will come to New York on September 8, at 13.10! (No stopover in London on Sunday, as I might have promised somebody previously.)
