Not a good start

I’m all ready to go on that trek that we’ve been planning for a while with a friend (aka trekking buddy).
For some reason everytimes we book a trek we end up in a small group of 3-5 people rather than 10-15.
I wonder how this one is gonna be.

Today, we both reeived an email from the travel agency urging me to consider some last minute changes.
Emnirates changed the first flight to depart a day earlier. The agent says this is because the previous flight was cancelled.
A quick look and call to Emmirates says otherwise and we now have conflicting flight details on the ticket app.

We call the travel agent for confirmation.
And wait…wait…wait…
A few hours later (sigh), she says this was a mistake from one of their partner and that we should ignore it.
The original tickets will be re-usued.

So much for chosing a specialised travel agent to avoid this sort of things…
