As long as all the modalities are in place eh?
Paging Mrs Miriam Abacha, the diplomate is here with your consignment.
Back on topic, it sounds pretty darn reasonable - you were able to carry over the taxes and other charges - yes? - and there's always a risk of delay when going to a remote airport.
Let's face it - it is in the interests of the airlines - and therefore their customers who want inexpensive flights - to enforce punctuality. If my local council ran things, they'd treat latecomers as victims and bump them to F while everyone else who turned up hours in advance seethed. (I am in no way crticising you, WHBM - I mean the passengers who are held up at the bar prior to embarkation [0]).
By the tone of your post, you sound like someone who was already mentally tearing his tickets up and was delighted to still have the opportunity to go. You are evidently in need of entitlement classes.

[0] or in my case, held up by the bar
