Cyprus Air delayed my flight by 13 hours and didn’t email me or update their online system. I only found out when I got to the airport and wandered around for an hour trying to find their kiosk to check into. Eventually I talked to somebody who knew what was going on and checked the flight info with the airport. He gave me the bad news: not a single person from Cyprus Air was in the airport, because they only arrive like 4 hours before a flight, and I was over 12 hours away.

It’s probably the most ridiculous delay I’ve ever had. So I’ve been sitting in an airport all day, instead of hanging out on a beach. I’m pretty angry, and recommend to all of you to avoid two things: Cyprus Air and the Cairo airport. Both suck.

The silver lining is that the end result of a day in the airport or a day on the beach are similar in one respect: I need to get more books onto the Kindle even though whispernet doesn’t work in this hemisphere.
