They paid for a day trip to Lap Land for their excited kids and they deserved to get it, not a trip up the M6 by coach to look at Aberdeen.
Did you actuallly bother to read the original post, they were stuck on their way
back so simply would have had to sit through a drive to Gatwick.
Seems even PPRUNE readers are taken in by the sensationalist media who felt fit to put up a video of 'poor, saddened children' who were told by their parents to chant "We want to go home!" at a camera phone and sent it to the news of the world.
Next time, let them carry on to LGW until they are struck by lightning, all the kids would die, but at least they wouldn't be grounded by the big bad airline! I'm sure the good old quality papers would point fingers at the carriers for not grounding the flight.
Edited to add a Happy Christmas to all.
