Thoughts With Air Travellers
Not a question, just wanted to express how bad I feel for those having their easyjet and TUI flights cancelled at the last minute this weekend. It's utterly disgraceful, and to think I was sorry for the airlines during covid. Heartless ***..

Still no excuse for this ..
Rob Gore spent 14 hours at Manchester Airport on Friday.
He had planned to fly to Turkey with his family for his sister-in-law's wedding, but his flight was delayed.
After hours of waiting, he and his family finally boarded a plane - only to be ushered back off it at the last minute.
"When the news was announced on the plane by the pilot the kids just burst into tears," he said.
The pilot said they had run out of hours they were able to work, so everybody had to disembark, he said.
"It was just an absolute farce from Tui, no reps available until right at the very end," he said, describing his treatment as "disgusting".

This is the reason that I'm not going abroad this year. The stress and anxiety of worrying about getting to your destination or not makes it a no go for me. Especially as we usually have short breaks away.
Easyjet, especially, won't be having a Racoon bum on a seat anytime soon.
I'll just have to pray for a bit of sunny weather for here.

I think some posters think these people are in this situation because they chose to fly cheap. Firstly TUI aren't cheap and never were, Easyjet may have some basement deals occasionally but not families flying abroad at half-term. The fact is there just aren't any other choices these days. So many airlines have collapsed.
Some may know I go to Menorca twice a year normally. Only few years back I could pick between Thomas Cook, Monarch, Flybe now all gone or the current Tui, easyJet or BA (who only go once a week at an inconvenient time).
The bottom line here is money has been taken knowing goods can't be supplied. In any other market that is fraud.
