Was delayed on EZY from TLV to MAN about three years ago as the incoming aircraft had not arrived. Ground crew had no idea what the reason was. As it happens the flight had to drop down into Sofia for a medical emergency and I knew this as a friend was on the incoming flight and was giving us a blow by blow account via Facebook. The staff were bemused when I told them what was going on and suggested that we get HOTAC sooner rather than later. Remarkably they listened and after some communication with EZY we were removed from the departure lounge, collected our luggage and went off for a nights enforced holiday.
