stuarty Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 (edited) My son finished Uni last month and as a treat we booked him a holiday to Magaluf departing today from Glasgow Prestwick. Dropped him off to meet up with his 6 friends. They were later told the flight had been cancelled due to the French air traffic control strike! I had to drive another 90 mile round trip to pick him up and bring him home, gutted doesn't even come close!!! Managed to get them booked onto a night coach from Glasgow to London tomorrow night and a flight from London Stanstead to Magaluf around 11am on Thursday. Not perfect but at least they'll still get 8.5 days of their 10 day holiday. Edited June 11, 2013 by stuarty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stutopia Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Good effort, he'll still have a belter in 8.5 days. He'll probably be on the phone for cash in 4 days (I would!) you've saved yourself a few quid long term. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just glad we got something sorted out, because they were looking forward to it. I was really lucky because 2 other flights had borded and got cancelled, that meant my son was at the front of the check in que, so managed to get another flight. If the other folk hadn't borded they would have been at the font of the que and all the other flight seats would have been taken! BTW well done to Rynair, wasn't their fault but staff really helped, even booked coach tickets etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
