I was on this flight. I have to say I absolutely cacked myself!
Rational thought was telling me that these things undergo massive stress tests even when shattered etc. but actually being in the situation was not a nice experience.
Even the stewardess sounded scared making the announcements over the speaker.
Stuck in Portugal for 8 hours whilst we waited for a replacement aircraft.
On a similar note, anyone claimed compensation for a long flight delay? I had to miss work the next day due to the delay.

Glad you're safe.

t happens though - what compensation do you feel entitled to?
Did your employer complain or dock your wages for being a day late?
Well both me and the wife had to take an extra days annual leave. Not exactly a loss of earnings but in value, that alone results in almost £350.s

We also had our duty free taken off us which we bought at Las Palmas when we went through customs at Porto. Not exactly a big loss - around fifty quid but still.
So in all, around £400 out of pocket.
I understand these things happen and we are glad to be safe but when paying for a service, why should we be the ones of pocket?
