I posted earlier about bringing my parents home from MAN after their Thomson flight to Tenerife was indefinately delayed yesterday.
They were going on holiday with friends who were flying to Tenerife with Monarch from Gatwick, similar time yesterday. Guess what, they arrived in Tenerife 8pm last night. How? Did Monarch fly through the ash? I presume not. Also yesterday evening I looked at Manchester departures and flights from mid afternoon were showing as having left!!
Am I being cynical in thinking Thomson may have used the plane my parents were due to fly on for another service.
Anyway they are at the airport now due to depart at 20.50hrs tonight. 36hrs late.
