Many years ago I was stuck at an airport for 8 hours after flight after flight was scratched with zero explanation.
The destination for everyone on this particular flight was a 6 hour drive away.
Also on this flight was a large party trying to get to a funeral.
If the airline had been upfront about whatever the heck was going on, and it wasn’t weather related as we later discovered, the folks going to the funeral could have rented some vehicles and made it to the funeral.
As it was we all were stuck there while flight after flight was scratched.
We ended up getting to our destination early in the evening.
But I guarantee you no amount of money would have recompensed those folks for what the airline did.
That experience is just another reason I haven’t set foot on an airplane in over twenty years.
Well bully for you, I get fed up with airlines lack of transparency too, but your refusal to fly also means you haven’t been to Greece or Malta or Italy or Scotland or other beautiful places in 20 years. You can’t drive there. And those places are worth seeing.
I've taken my last flight last night. Never again will I subject myself to the degrading, dehumanizing experience known as commercial air travel.
