Going anywhere nice?I feel your pain,I flew into Newark in June,when I got there my connection was delayed by 3 or 4 days,the airport was in uproar,large amounts of flights cancelled/delayed due in part they said from smoke from Canuck bushfires,TV crews were interviewing people who had already been in the terminal for a couple of days,people queuing for new tickets,my magic changing room wasn’t working so I went to penn station and caught an Amtrak.

@shaaark likened me to phileas Fogg once but I needed to get to my destination a darned sight quicker than eighty days.

Any form of compensation offered?United (abysmal airline)offered Jack even though my flight was delayed/postponed for a few days,I have travelled with third world airlines that gave better (but also far worse) service.

Not so far as the actual airlines are saying its not their fault as its down to air traffic control.Her sister was meant to fly back from Tenerife with BA on Friday but they cancelled her flight untill this Wednesday but theyve put her up in the Hotel she was already in and given her loads of vouchers only downside is shes got to get to the North airport where all the fires have been and theyre flying her back to Heathrow and shes got her car parked at Gatwick.Her mate who was stuck there yesterday ended up finding herself a hotel so her and her family could get some sleep yesterday and Ive just woke up and seen a text from my missus saying they arrived at their hotel at 3.30 this morning so theyre probably gunna loose a decent part of their first day sleeping and then settling into their apartment when they get up.

Iv been shacked up with a village girl n her family the last couple of weeks champ she's a great girl but real mind bending culture for me as to say she's 30 her parents seem to control her knocking on the door at 5am so she can help the mother cook n clean etc 

Like going out with a teenager again the girl has a heart of gold tho and the trip itself had been a good one thanks..

I'm looking at weekend breaks for me and the Mrs. We used to do it quite often. Flight and a couple of nights away, city break type of thing. Prices are through the roof, with some spends I'd need £1200-1500. Can take the full family on a weeks deal somewhere for that
