Novel PA announcements as to why your flight was late departing
BMI Baby (BHX-EDI) was marginally late leaving this morning. This was noted by the pilot in his welcome when he announced 'I apologise for the late departure of this service. This is due to your bus driver seeing imaginary planes, so refusing to cross the apron'. I thought us pax had the monopoly on feeling that bus drivers are uber cautious when driving airside (all the vehicles coming in the opposite direction had finished crossing before he decided to make a move).
Any other novel excuses (sarcastic or not)?
