Then, last Friday, Van der Putten received a text message and email informing her of her new itinerary. The flight to Dublin remained the same, but the flight back was changed from Sunday evening to Monday morning. “To this day, I still have not got a response. On Saturday evening I got a new text message and email saying that I, once again, got a new itinerary and that the flight to Dublin was changed to Sunday morning – which means that as of right now I will not be able to make it to the concert.”
“I was going to go to the concert by myself, so I was already a bit nervous, and all of this definitely made me more anxious.” “So I’ll have to book an expensive flight home with another airline. It’s still all so uncertain and at this point, I don’t even know if I will make it to Dublin. I hope my flight there will not be cancelled and for everyone to not miss important events,” Bruendl says.
