Around The World In 80 Waves

I was about to post a report on how pain free flying the five and a half hours with Virgin Australia had been from Sydney to Perth. No surcharges and I was handled like a human being too. However right at the last minute they managed to screw that up by losing my surf board in the airport in Perth!

It is a couple of hours behind Sydney and after I had wasted an hour hanging around whilst they found my board it was nearly midnight there. I had been awake since dawn Sydney time and was teetering on the edge of a severe case of sense of humour failure.

Can no airline get it right?
