My one and only experience of flying with dan-Air was in the mid/late 80s, on a bucket-n-spade trip to Palma de Mallorca.
We pitched-up at gatwick on a Saturday evening, and checked-in our bags, and then discovered that the flight had been delayed until the following morning. We were put up in a local hotel, where 'food would be layed on for us'. It wasn't, because the chef had gone home; he'd been told we would all be there by 10pm, and we didn't start to arrive until 1am!
Back to gatwick on Sunday morning, and into the departure lounge. Managed to find an un-manned info desk, and read the screen (upside down!). We knew which gate the flight was going to, but were surprised to see the a/c type as 'DC8'!
Went to the gate, and a DC-8 duly turned-up - African Safari Airways, complete with zebra-strip tail! It was an old JAL aircraft, still with the last two numbers of its JAL registration on the nose-wheel door ('39' I think). On board, all the signs, emergency cards and plastic seat head-rests were in japanese with the JAL logo!
Quite a surreal trip. When we eventually got to Mallorca in the early afternoon the Rep had been there all night because Dan-Air couldn't tell him when the flight was going to turn-up!
What a way to run an airline.
