D’you Know What To Do If Your Flight Is Delayed? (also – €600 to you!)
D’you know what to do if your flight is delayed? It’s everybody’s worst nightmare (yes, even us; married to a determined non-flyer, we do the same frustrated grown at train stations as oyu do at airports – possibly more frequently!) – you’re neatly packed, you have your passports, your brain is already on holiday, you make it through security with almost an hour to spare … and then you see...
