She then missed her flight from Hungary to Amsterdam which was on her route back home.
The group of friends had been traveling for a birthday trip, according to fellow traveler and friend, Gretchen Tower, reported WKBW.

Tower said she had responded to a message at around 12.45 Tuesday morning, but her friend never responded, but it wasn’t until getting being notified by the Airbnb that Michalski had never checked out that Tower became concerned.
