Are you saying you really want to fly out anywhere right now? :cool: What are the chances you'll get back as scheduled? Any opinions?

confusedroast

Good to see that travelrepublic have been good to you - I am going to call and call and call tomorrow and see if I can get through

Hmmm good point its probably best we dont go anywhere just in case hey! Oh well hopefully fingers crossed we will either go no problem OR have a full refund and go at a later date

Yesterday I managed, after an 1 1//2 hour hold on the phone, to re-book flights for may 2nd with Virgin.
Had to accept a change of destination from gatwick to Manchester. As yet, I haven't received e mail confirmation - should I be concerned.

Im surprised Michael O'leary of Ryaniar hasnt cut the wings off his plane, taken windows out, put them on the sea, charged people to get on and then charge you for oars................lololol

No, no, don't be concerned. I've had to rebook a few times with them and it takes a while (sometimes a couple of days) for it to come through

I'm surprised you even bothered to write that. I imagine all CEO's have much bigger issues to contend with at the moment. :cool:

Just watched the first flight land at Heathrow! Safe journey's to all of you who are stranded! x

Some people are always the same!, I am one who has lost out on money and a holiday and shedding some light on it.

Again, hope everyone who is stranded are safe and getting home now/soon.

I see they have applied a typically British fudge based almost certainly on money..

Apparently they now say...oh well...actually the engines can endure a greater level of ash ingestion...blah blah blah...

Well we will soon find out.

Presumably Rolls Royce will be on overtime in the next few months fixing them all !!
