Makes a change for the M.E.N. to get something correct. Their reporting of the 30 'stranded' schoolchildren last weekend was nothing less than B*ll*cks. I bet they get a letter from KLM uk's legal department about that one.
In typical 'poor souls' fashion, they only took the school teachers side, who blamed everything on KLM uk, when in actual fact it appeared to be a tour operator balls up. (allegedly !).
An investigation was to be held to discover who's fault it really was.....
(For those not familiar with this one......30 school kids going MAN-AMS-BOS could'nt get on MAN-AMS sector as no reservations and all flights full for two days, even though they had tickets issued by the tour operator, they turned up at the end of check in when the flight was full....)
