I visualised my journey before I went to bed, and again this morning before I got out of bed. I imagined everything going to time, I even imagined that our cases would be on carousel no 4, and there as we came out of passport control. It was. Even down to the 10 minutes que for the hire car.
What I did not see was my broken suitcase. Or the journey forward trying to find the hotel. But then as I hadn't visualised that part then I suppose that wasn't too bad.
A basics shop in the mini market as Dgd was desperate to get in the pool and a trip to Aldi tomorrow. Wine in the mini market was over !!!8364;6 and I would rather pay the bar price tonight and be served my drink then the supermarket price.
I am going to practice this positive thinking and visualisation of my day. It might actually be fun working out my day!

Thank for all the well wishes. I really feel loved. X

Hi
Just found out that my flight home has been cancelled.
Limited access to WiFi etc.
Does anybody have time to find out on my behalf what my options are?
Apparently Ryanair say I can fly home a day early at no cost, but flights after are dearer? Then of course I will have to pay hotel and car hire?
Really unsure what my rights are and insurance will be?
And now phone battery is practically out!
Tomorrow then!

Newspapers report the following:

The airline said;All affected customers have been offered re-accommodation on alternative flights during the seven days prior to 25/26 July, or the seven days after.

Passengers whose flights are cancelled while they are on holiday are entitled to hotels and meals until the airline can get them home. If no Ryanair flight is available on the intended day of travel or the next day, the airline must buy a ticket on another airline, if there is space available.

In a statement, Ryanair said they contacted affected customers by email and text message this morning notifying them of cancellations.

The airline has said that these customers have been offered alternative flights in the week leading up to the strike and the week after.

Alternatively, customers will be offered a refund of their airfares.

They added that any customers travelling to or from Spain, Belgium or Portugal on these dates who have not received an email or text message should expect their flight to operate as normal.

The Ryanair statement said that up to 100,000 passengers will be affected over the two days.

Thankyou.
That's a lot of people.
I am not sure if I would have come if I had had the email before I left.
I will need to speak to the car hire people and to the hotel. I have my car at Airparks in Birmingham too!
Not quite the relaxing start to the holiday I was envisaging.
I think I will need to do some serious planning as I don't have staff to open up the shop next Thursday eitherand I have work and fittings booked in.
Eek!

Mooloo for the sake of a day it's not worth the hassle and worry. Take the early flight and give yourself a day at home to relax before the mayhem of work etc kicks in.
Enjoy your time there without any stress X

Might be wise to make the decision sooner than later, though, as everyone will be clamouring for a way to get home.
