Soho House is a brand with bona fide British celebrity and royal bragging rights: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had their first date at one in London. Soho Farmhouse, the brand's countryside inn a two-hour drive outside London, has hosted everyone from former U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron to Princess Eugenie and (my personal favorite) top-selling U.K. band Girls Aloud.
A teacher who was stranded in Japan and had a 48-hour journey home shares what he did right and wrong during the trip
18.08.2023 - 03:01 / insider.com
Trevor Boffone was part of the 31-person group that was stranded in Osaka, Japan, earlier this week.
As Insider previously reported, Boffone, a Spanish teacher at Carnegie Vanguard High School in Houston, Texas, was on a nine-day Japan trip booked through EF Tours. He traveled with 30 other students, teachers, and parents.
Boffone said the group had an American Airlines flight reservation that would get them from Osaka to Tokyo via American's partner, Japan Airlines. From Tokyo, the group would take a long-haul flight to Dallas and make a final connection to Houston.
But when they arrived at the Osaka airport on August 11, Boffone said they were told that American Airlines did not send their flight information to Japan Airlines, and therefore they didn't have tickets for the flight to Tokyo.
After two days, the tour operator worked with American Airlines to get the group home, Boffone said.
The teacher said he and others embarked on a 48-hour journey that took them to Bangkok, Thailand; Munich, Germany; Charlotte, North Carolina; and finally, Houston.
After getting some rest, Boffone shared with Insider what he thinks he did right and wrong during the trip — as well as his advice for others handling a travel nightmare.
