A family member of mine has had much worse. Turned up to Syd with their CL card and travel agent itinerary ready to check in for SYD-LHR-FCO in F. Turns out the agent had never booked the flight!

Oh no!! I smiled when I read this. I've never done it... but I have arrived in Perth and realised I'd forgotten to book a hotel. Perth is not the best place to try and book at 9pm on the night.
Did you end up finding somewhere or did you resign yourself to a park bench?
Last year I was asked to go to PER with about 3 days notice. I could not find a single room for the night anywhere in the city at any price range anywhere. Luckily I had a friend who had a friend who had a spare couch, otherwise I was going to be spending the night sleeping under the stars...
The issue with NCGI for frequent flyers is that you can, and I have, forget what time or flight number you are on and embarrassingly have to leave the queue and walk back to the lounge...

Oh.... That's what those machines are for.
I never check in until I get to the lounge DOM or the Airport INT.
That's why my sequence numbers are so high.
I thought those machines did your height and weight!:shock:
Boss
I have forgotten to check in once, but the service desk adjacent to the gate immediately fixed it. Unsure why this didn't occur in your situation?

The one time I did NGCI, I spent the entire time checking the screens to remind myself of my next flights details, and thus decided never again.
I find I check my boarding pass a few time between receiving it and finally boarding, just reminding me of the exact time i'm boarding and thus working out if I really do have the time for another drink or not etc...
I've had several bookings that have been booked, but not ticketed - seems to be a habit of AMEX corporate travel.This has happened to me several times. Luckily my TA has a 24 hour line, though I am always less than impressed and let them know about it.
