flight

[victor]

family's flight due out of Gatwick at 2.45-still sat on runway,crew now out of hours

first reason given as south terminal had power cut due to heavy rain -now saying workmen have cut a cable

sent to North term to check in ,then back to South ,then put on bus (30 min wait) back to North term .been sat in plane on runway for just over an hour-no offer of drink/food ,with a 2 1/2 yr old
no info of when take off will be

[Lozzles]

Oh Vic! That's awful

[Workingman]

A classic recipe for anarchy, yet if any passenger dares to complain assertively they are likely to get into big trouble.

Hopefully they will be on their way soon Vic. They are already more than three hours late so should be thinking about making a claim.

[Diflower]

Oh no, what a nightmare Vic
Hope they don't have too much longer to wait.

[victor]

who do you claim from though

airline not their fault if airport had power cut?

airport? not their fault if damage done by workmen?

passenger claim against airline who claim against airport who claim against construction firm??

[victor]

still on runway ,now being told -not sure if luggage is aboard!!! ffs

[victor]

now been told -looking for missing passenger-been on the plane since before 6pm so how have they lost one?

people now asking to get off so luggage has to be unloaded

this is an absolute farce

Your 14:45 seems to have ben the hardest hit, looking at the departure boards .... but it seems you have been scheduled to leave 21:15 ??

EDIT - Vic should now be on the taxiway (21:10) ......

[tonicha]

Departed at 21.22

And it's a 4 hour flight Vic?

Bluddy nightmare.
