It sounds like the time my other half and I turned up at the airport for our vacation trip, only to discover at check-in that our tickets were paper tickets, not e-tickets, and they were still sitting at the travel agent (this was about 2005 when airlines were in the process of switching e-tickets but unbeknownst to us they hadn't all completed the process.

A very rushed cab ride back and forth between the airport and travel agent later, we just made our flight, but it was touch and go.

Out of interest, how did you manage to get to your gate without showing anyone the passport? Was your first flight a domestic one?

That must have been so annoying! At least you managed to make it in time for your flight.

It was an international flight but international in the sense of UK-EU so I didn't need to show my passport / ID until before the gate and then go through passport control at the airport of arrival.
