Our scheduled ETA was 19:30 and we weren't far off that time, but the captain announced that there wasn't a gate allocated/ready so we went into hold for what then developed into a long time - I didn't keep note of the time, but it seemed like 60 to 90 minutes.
you didn't hold into brissy at all on your initial flight, just diverted.
Well one of the two is incorrect.
I find it hard to believe both David and his wife could confuse no holding with 60-90 minutes of holding.
Which is it?
