I have been flying as SLF for 30 years. Only had one bad experience.
SYD->BKK->LHR->CDG... on arrival to LHR had three missed approaches then had to divert to alternate which was Schiphol. Waited on the tarmac for 3 hours (wasn't allowed to deplane). Then flew back across the channel to LHR. First approach was a go-around. Nailed the second.
Missed the connection to Paris. Delayed in LHR for another 5 hours, then got a seat on another flight to CDG. Flew across the channel but by this time, the weather had travelled across the channel also. Executed two missed approached into CDG. Was told from the flight deck that if the third was a go-around, we'd be on our way back to London. Fortunately, we landed on the third attempt. Total travel time from SYD to CDG, 42 hours. Total go-arounds, 6. This was in the very early 90's and later we found out it was a 1 in 10 year storm. Haven't had a single missed approach ever since.
