I'm waiting in line, finaly its my turn and I walk up to the little checkin computer. I swipe my passport and then enter my flight number. The computer says, I need "Special Handaling" So I try again, this time enteing my ticket number. Same message. So I wave over the woman, and show her. She asks where I'm travling, I tell her Atlanta then to Moscow. She informs me that its so they can check my Visa. I show it to her, and she starts pulling up infomraoitn on her computer. She asks me what my flight number is, so I tell her. She says "There is no Fligh 1565", so then she asked, where are you flying to again, I again tell her, Atlanta then to Moscow, she says, "hmmm, there is no flight 1565 to Atlanta, only 1997" So I hand her my printout of my ticket information. The date in the lower left is of the day I printed the information, so, July10th. She then says, to me "Oh, your flight was yesterday thats why I can't find the flight number..."
I staired at her in disbelife for a moment, then just said "No, its today at 11:20", I looked at the papers in ther hand, and I saw the place it said July 11th and pointed to it. She appoligesed and informed me that the flight number had been changed to 1997. She printed my tickets and everything was just fine.
For that one split moment I thought I had missed my flight.
