I'm sure bills will have been run up willy nilly expecting to get refunds, which wont be the case for all.
Ryanair Sp) are digging their heels in.

I think people must have been really confused by all the conflicting advice, and a lot of them would not have had access to televisions etc if they were at airports in a foreign country. Nightmare!!

Didnt Gordon Brown tell them to try and get to the nearest port but ABTA said no, stay where they are?
I understood you had to go by what your travel company said.
What a nighmare for a lot it is going to be.

I think you are right Marion, they are going to have to find ways of not paying or it is going to be too expensive for them, they will find all sorts of loop holes.

There will be a lot in debt now.
Do you think a lot who have tried to get their own way back might lose out?
I dont think some of the travel companys will pay out if they have travelled on their own....if you know what I mean.

Yes, we have credit cards on us. Some people seem to have run up huge expenses, presumably on their credit cards.

we have always taken 1 credit card for emergencies infact its the only reason an the only time we use it for holidays...

Especially with bottle fed babies, would they have had enough food left I wonder, and nappies? Maybe Boots stayed open in the airports for that reason. They sell jars of baby food don't they?

I've been wondering how families have managed with very young children and babies, must be really worrying for them all!

and I have my own contacts in there......Its back to Teresa at the studio ..>>

Definitely Hayley, definitely.

You know me Ann I'm not one for gossip more finger on the pulse :)))

You couldn't make it up could you????

Well this is inside information not that I am one for gossip...but Alfa who suppy the food and bars that go on planes ....didnt bother to order as the flights stopped but flights have been going out with crews on and food to bring back stranded passages , but now they have ran out of food...

Haven't seen that, who/what has run out of food Hayley?

and now they have ran out of food lololol

Went for a walk down by the river this afternoon, and I could certainly hear Norwich International Airport revving up. For minute I didn't notice as a plane flew overhead, then it suddenly dawned on me.


Aww McAnne, I was going to ask if you'd got away or not.

As long as you get there eventually, so fingers crossed.

*sighs*


I should be in Alicante by now :O(

gotta wait another 10 days - but hey i still get a fortnight off work cos i came back in yesterday, start again on Monday lol

I'm glad about that.
I think the odd few of stranded people have made the most of it.
Not nice for others though :((.
Imagine what would happen if there is one engine problem or worse...
