Sunwing + Mexico Travel Hell

My afternoon, trying to get home from Cancun Mexico:

Immigration, coming into Mexico, didn't give me the one half of my immigration form so I needed to pay $30USD for a dude in a sketchy back corner office to give me a new one to fill out and stamp it in all of 3 minutes. Money grab much?

I get to the ticket counter to check in and check my bag... Sunwing tells me that I don't have a ticket/reservation on the flight. Takes them 10 minutes to find me. How is that?

They refuse to let me upgrade to Elite because I was sure my bag was over weight. I was going to pay for it! I wasn't asking any favors! (I was told at the resort that I could do it at the airport) Some bullshit about 24 hours and the weight of my bag. Whatever. I pay $78USD for my 2lbs over. 

Waiting to board the flight, Sunwing personnel call me up to the front desk, "Faloony Horny" while laughing into the mic (I laughed too but I'm mad so don't tell them that). They tell me that, because I bought my ticket today, (Huh??? What? No I didn't. Been booked for months.) that they don't have food for me on this flight and I'll have to buy food at the airport before we take off. I show them my documentation to prove this isn't true. 10 minutes go by and they tell me never mind. I guess food magically appeared... I probably won't eat it anyways, but it's just the principal of it all. Assholes. 

Still waiting to board... Watch, I'm going to be sat beside a stinky person or a crying baby... Or because of my awesome poopy afternoon, maybe the gods are looking down on me and I'll be seated next to the love of my life! Haaaa! 

Patience. Patience. Patience. 
Things could be worse. Right? Right. 

Okay, I've boarded:
I was seated beside two sweet grandparents, across the isle to their unsettled, already bawling grandchild. Hahaaaaaa ya just gotta laugh. When I checked in, they changed my seat from having my own row to being squished into a "window seat" with no window. I got wall. Great view. 

What in the fuck. Karma is coming back at me or something. Le sigh. 

Shitty end to a pretty great trip... I'll take it though.
