Just suffered my second 3 hour + delay in a week as a pax on JMC and wondered if it (and the excuses) were normal for the operator.
Flight to FAO lunchtime on 10/7 was delayed due to earlier fog at LGW. That's fine, these things happen.
Got to FAO yesterday afternoon to be told that there was another 3 hour delay and the rep thought it was a knock on from last weeks problems (the fog, not the fuel!)
Thought I'd throw a few questions out for ppruners and see if anybody else has this experience regularly.
Is this usual for this operator? It was suspicious at LGW that we were the only flight seemingly delayed by the fog.
When a delay like this occurs why don't they leave the pax in the resort rather than dumping you in a god forsaken toilet of a departure lounge?
Another pax told me at baggage reclaim that he'd been told of another JMC flight delayed in LGW for 24 hours (another told the same story but with 36 hours) and that JMC didn't have the aircraft.
The first I heard of JMC's involvement was when we arrived at LGW. Booked with Going Places and tickets said Airtours, reps were Airtours, and the 2 Airtours flights at either end left and arrived on time - anybody know the tie in with JMC?
Loved everything about the week (including JMC when they turned up) but a massive delay on each leg really puts the dampers on it
