Thanks for the words of advice.
Regarding the Wx, I'd be very surprised if an airline cancelled a flight due to enroute weather. Squall line of CB, severe turb maybe......... it didn't stop their flight from VIE to London a couple of hours later. If indeed it was a Wx issue, then I smell some bull coming from Dublin.
I know MOL wouldn't give anyone the steam off of his pi$$, but I wondered if anyone else had been in a similar situation with them or any other loco.
I'll pass the messages on. Thanks
Edit: Regarding the line of "you pay for what you get". Ie, if you pay the square root of nothing, then expect zero service in return. I know for a fact my mates paid over £250 return for those flights.
