Translation of negligence in German

So we decided to move on. We were looking to get the next flight to Hoi Ann, which is located right in the center of the country, but we were told that there had been floods a week earlier.
And off we went. It took a us only a few minutes to reach the village. Funnily my wife fell asleep as she was still tired of the flight. It has been more than twenty eight hours without sleep.
We than found out that a plane was leaving 3 hours later to the city of Calama (with the national airline), which was the closest airport to our destination. However, only one seat was available. That was really annoying.
