Glad they didn't go for an alternative. In the glory days of successful Staff Travel, got from UK to JFK in their 707. Off to Barbados & back to JFK with a local mob. Aer Lingus Rep told us that there was no-chance of return to UK as all flights fully booked. Even pointed to one Colleen who had bedded down in the terminal for previous three nights. Miracles do happen ; Same Rep runs over while Girlfriend and I ponder limited options and tells us how lucky we are. Seven "O" had gone tech but a 74 was being diverted from somewhere into JFK to run the service back to Dublin. All of us sub-loaders" " on " & many in First/business, loadsa walkabout room and grins splitting most faces.
