Stuck in the airport support thread

[Chris Wilson]

I heard it was Brexit.

Maybe Greta? Maybe the London Mayor, I can't be bothered checking how to spell his name?

 

[Chris Wilson]

They better sort out all the delays by end of the week. I'm flying back to UK in a weeks time and then out again on Friday.

Or whatyagointodo?

 

[Chris Wilson]

Going to be hours or days until this much disruption works it way through the system though. What a day to have it happen.

And there was you worrying about the Chinese virus, how situations can flux

 

[Mr Jack]

Maybe Greta? Maybe the London Mayor, I can't be bothered checking how to spell his name?

Might want to read the first page to get the joke, mate.

If it wasn’t for ignore, I’d also be subjected to the viewpoint from the 1950s, Rivers of blood and all

Can't fault my advice or logic though

The 'Rivers of Blood' speech was in the 60s, 1968 to be exact.

I should have been more specific obviously, I’ll illustrate for clarity…

Without ignore I’d have to read the viewpoint that originates from:
* The 1950’s
* The rivers of blood speech
* The Sallop agricolarian society

 

[robfosters]

It’s all this guys fault

It's Salop, for God's sake, and the word agricolarian seems to be a figment of your imagination.

If you're attempting to ridicule someone.... <LOL>

I've had his nonsense on ignore for months but occasionally I like to see what racist, sexist, xenophobic tripe he's come up with so I treat myself and click the "show ignored content" button.

Sadly it's always disappointing as he doesn't seem to be able to post anything interesting or funny anymore.

Shame really, he used to be quite funny but as the dementia or whatever it is he's suffering from takes over he's just getting worse.

Ha, you can't resist, you're just a closet fan in denial

Be stuck

 

[Macky]

In-laws were supposed to be departing at 15:35. ETA departure now 21:00! Anyone know if they'd be entitled to any sort of compensation?

Anyone still waiting on a flight to depart back to UK from Italy?

Thousands of Brits stranded around world in air traffic control chaos

Britain's National Air Traffic Services (NATS) said it is experiencing 'technical issues' that has forced controllers to reduce the rate that aircraft are able to land and take off.

Under UK law, those affected have legal rights which oblige the airlines to provide support to customers flying from a UK airport, arriving in the country on an EU or UK airline, or arriving at an EU airport on a UK airline.

The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) website says that in the case of a 'significant delay', the airline must provide a reasonable amount of food and drink, commonly in the form of vouchers, refunds for the cost of calls, and accommodation for passengers stuck overnight and transport to a hotel or their home.

The CAA accepts airlines are sometimes unable to organise such support, so passengers should make their own 'reasonable' arrangements and keep receipts to claim money back, but the authority adds that 'luxury hotels and alcohol' are unlikely to be paid for.

Your airline should be arranging something. Getting in touch with them of course is another matter as it’ll be similar to Covid levels of demand on the call centres I’d imagine.

Also, could you rent a car and drive back? At least to Paris or similar then train it.

They managed to get us in a flight on Wednesday to Brussels with a change to them go to Heathrow. Better options than a lot of people we spoke to managed.

We already booked our own hotel for the 2 nights and have been told to claim everything back from the airline

Try make the most of it now I guess. Literally nothing you can do.

Probably loads of people.
