Murphy's Law Travel Examples

Travel turns timing into a stress test. Flights, buses, luggage, weather, and documents all create useful Murphy's Law examples.

Airport example

The short connection is delayed just enough to miss the next flight, which leaves on time for the first time all week.

Luggage example

Your bag appears last unless the connection is tight, in which case it appears somewhere else.
