Finally we had a green light to fly at 3 pm. He said we don’t have any I asked him: sir please give me my carry on I have food and pumpers there. I asked them I need pampers because I am out. Asked them for kids food? He said we don’t have any. We stayed that night there at the airport. They brought us some mattresses to share with others when the COVID was around. I was looking at my son and I was very heart brokennnn. They said you will stay here tonight and we don’t know what is gonna happen with you. Finally by 10:30 pm they brought some sandwiches and water. No more food not even chocolates at vending machine.
We asked: what is gonna happen with us? When are we leaving? When are we gonna have something to eat? Especially for the babies. Finally someone from Swiss company comes and tell us that they having an issue with the Albanian government.

The food stores closed 2 hours before our boarding time. My 2 years old Started getting hungry and tired. What is happening?! What is going on?! No explanation.

The ticket was double price but I wanted him to come to Albania. So we bought a ticket for him at check in. I had a ticket already booked, my son didn’t have one. Hello, My son and I flew from Chicago to Switzerland with Swiss our final destination was Albania.

The overall experience was not really great.
