Can't do much about the weather but the issue with Easyjet is that whilst people are now forking out for rail fares at short notice those bastards will literally take weeks to pay out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Others are still landing mate, it's all about aircraft positioning, easyJet has the latest up to date aircraft and landing systems, it's just bullshit to cancel today and tomorrow's flights! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting as at the moment the ONLY flight out of Bristol today that is cancelled is this flight The ONLY flight into Newcastle that is cancelled is this one 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which, if you are staying in Newcastle, need to check in and drop luggage off, then have to get to Sunderland, is a waste of time. My lad and his mates are on the train in an hour.

She and members of Ex-Tinder Repellent will be at the airport to confront the City high-fliers, I asked her what action her mob is taking to punish our brazen CO2 emitters.

I must admit, if it was me, I would take the crap train journey via Paddington this evening (you can have a shed load of cans on board if drinking is an important part of the weekend) and have a relaxing one tomorrow, getting in the pub pre-match or doing whatever you like when you like etc. etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRock Posted February 17, 2023 Report Share Posted February 17, 2023 Came into Bristol from Corfu in what best can be described as a tropical storm. As we descended we got hit by lightening, twice. You know you’re in trouble when the stewardesses turn white and grip their hand-rests so hard their knuckles look like they’re going to burst. The ride was like being in a lift with delinquent teenager randomly pushing the floor buttons. Enjoy your flights to Newcastle lads and lasses. All part of life’s rich tapestry…but don’t worry at least you know it’s stormy, flew over the Bermuda Triangle once and the captain said he had no idea why we were bouncing up and down like a yo-yo as their was no air turbulence showing on their radar or reported by the flights we were following!

ChippenhamRed Posted February 17, 2023 Report Share Posted February 17, 2023 This is a prime example of why extortionate rail fares for short-notice bookings are not justified by the argument “they should have booked sooner”. You shouldn’t have to sell a kidney to take a train at the last minute. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t love City that much to **** about with all that travelling!! Wonder under the circumstances if City might consider refunding match tickets for anyone who can prove they had a flight booked and now can’t get there without facing exceptional costs. It’s a hell of a commitment to follow City all the way to Sunderland, be nice if the club recognised where people have been screwed over and didn’t leave them out of pocket. It wouldn’t cost the club much in the grand scheme of things, and would be a big PR win. @JerrySLO 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would cost but be great PR as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
