So as i understand it most of you think that a delay of fifteen hours is quite acceptable. As for the joker comparing that to the local bus running late, it defies belief. Have any of you actually experienced a 15 hr delay l, possibly with kids, at some grotty tourist airport? EU261 keeps airlines on their toes. Long may it last. I'm quite happy to fork out a premium of 3 quid or so on top of the fare to cover for it.
