I feel your pain I spent 10 hours in there thanks to the spanish air traffic strike.

[mondeoman]

cheers guys. We've seen that info, we know/believe the plane is here somewhere, just trying to get info on a possible departure time, as it was due to go at 2, then 3, then 5, now maybe 5.40, but nothing concrete. 4 kids to amuse as well, not a fun afternoon! I know some peeps have had it a lot worse, still like to know whats going on and the lack of info is bloody frustrating.

edited to add its now 6 and no more news and this post is next to a flybe advert. bsstards

Have you had any refreshment vouchers yet? It's fun trying to find food for £5 a head in Brum airport.

[mondeoman]

On the plane at 6, off again at 10, after loud complaints, onto a bus at 1230, into a hotel with no food! feckers! treated like bloody cattle throughout.

[Blib]

Blimey.

[mondeoman]

Back to the airport this morning, no guarantees of a plane when we arrived.

but it does look as though we might be leaving at just after 2. Fingers crossed!

[mondeoman]

Edited to add ........... We're on the PLANE!!!

its not an ideal situation but the airports really need to be ready for this weather alot better. to say its -12 and planes cant fly doesnt wash.

usa goes alot colder and they fly.

[Engineer1]

Or airports and more importantly airlines need to get better at helping stranded or delayed customers out, it may even pay for them to tell people exactly what they know rather than spinning it out or lying. I was stuck in Brum airport for 10 hours waiting for a flight during the Spanish air traffic strike the airline where atrocious at letting us know what was happening, so real attempts at communication would help.

[ManiAli]

you would've thought they would have a policy to implement esp after the snow of last year + the ash cloud + the strikes

why they dont have some plan to activate in such situations is beyond me.

we have to wait sometimes a few days before an airline gives us a policy on bad weather cancellations. some airlines are so badly stuck in the 70's.

Flying out to dubai tonight from brum airport.

I might one of the lucky ones that gets away as planned!

[ManiAli]

i think there's a few delays at brum but nothing major

my mates flew off yesterday but with a 4-5 hr delay
