This is going to throw EVERYTHING off. All airlines are interconnected.

You would think they have massively redundant systems in place (like ATM networks).

I hate to break your bubble but ATM networks are not all that redundant.

You are current, a real FUBAR.

Also, many smaller airlines worldwide are resident on larger airlines computers. Air Botswana may be screwed too, both planes!

I'm old enough to remember flying before everything ran on computer. I would have to go to the airport or a travel agency to buy a ticket. It was a PAPER ticket! Had to make sure I didn't lose that ticket as it was my only proof I bought a ticket. Remember, no computers so they wouldn't be able to issue me a new one at the airport unless I paid for another one.

Once at the airport, you had to go to the check-in counter to turn in your luggage and exchange your ticket for a boarding pass. Once you got your boarding pass, you got to walk straight to the gate with no TSA security! At the gate, you produced your boarding pass at the little kiosk and they assigned you a seat. You could request a window or aisle but basically you took what they gave you. Then when it was time to board, you got on board and that was that.

They would serve hot meals on the plane. You'd get a choice of steak, chicken or fish but all of it was good. You could order those little liquor bottles to dump into your soda. I don't remember them charging for them or even asking your age. If you behaved yourself and was nice to the stewardess, she'd give you another little liquor bottle to pour into your soda.

The totally interconnected world is always a world more sensitive to systemic breakdowns.
