Still Loves Emma Bunton. Roy McDonough is God!
After a fantastic week in the Algarve my flight due to leave at 9.50am yesterday finally got off the ground at 8pm :( Got home at 1am and in bed for 2 resulting in a wasted day's holiday today :( **** !
Two planes had to be flown out to take 300 plus very ****ed off passengers back.
Needless to say the info we were supplied all day yesterday was either non-existent or wrong, not a Monarch rep in sight and a letter, that clearly should have been given to us in the morning, was only given to us at 7pm in the departure lounge. After originally dishing out 6 Euro meal vouchers (trust me this covers next to bugger all in Faro airport) they ferried us all off to a hotel for lunch and having spoken to a waiter all the staff there knew first thing in the morning whereas when we got to the airport at 8am it was just showing a delay until 1230 which got progressively worse. Felt sorry for the poor sods on the info desk. They were trying so hard but noone at Monarch was answering any of their calls.
Both planes took off and landed within minutes of each other but no-one knew which luggage was on which plane and needless to say they put the luggage on two different belts at Gatwick :minger:
Thank god for EU legislation though (thought I'd never see myself write that). Delays of 5 hours or more mean a full refund for the four of us (£550 in this case just for the return trip). The airline will fight it all the way but they don't have a leg to stand on.
