Stuck in Athens
Best laid plans of mice and men n’ all that….
After almost a whole day of waiting for disembarkation from the ship, we arrived at Athens to the news that our 6:30pm flight has been delayed. Due to a technical fault (which we believe was a faulty fuel gauge), the outbound flight from Heathrow had to turn back, and our new boarding time is now 11pm!
British Airways have checked everyone in and issued passengers with a meal voucher. I’m writing this in the airport cafe on my phone. At least the wi-fi is free!
So sorry to hear of your delay- but better safe than . . .Hope the rest of your journey home goes as planned.☺
Thanks for the support folks.
So far it’s been a long day of waiting. The prospect of a further 5 hours wait before a 4-hour flight, followed by another 4-hour I’ve home is slightly depressing to say the least. I’ll just be happy once I’m on the plane (just finished the complementary meal, which was nice; haven’t even been through security yet.
Hey ho!
