Under some circumstances it is possible to claim if a flight is delayed For more than 3 hours. Am not sure snow is covered under that

From reading Jet2's delays and cancellations , snow is not a good enough reason

Just one bit of advice, don’t ever ever book a flight with Wizz air.

Well we've been credited with 8 Euros each on our boarding passes for light refreshments but can only be used in main terminal which is.not a lot of good for those of us who passed through passport control as instructed on flight boards

Was hoping to post this in “ things that gladden the heart” thread. But am not gonna lie. Crocs are rammel in snow. Nearly broke me neck going to the man cave in them.

There do appear to be winter crocs, fur lined and everything

Flight home.from Faro delayed by 3.5 hours as plane took off from Birmingham 3.5 hours late

Little bit of snow and flight late.
Can't get to play on golf course.
UK weather: Heavy snow hits UK with travel disruption likely - BBC News
Conditions might last a few days.
Does anyone here remember winter of 1962/63?
Temp below freezing for 2 months with heavy snow.
No cheap flights then either.

We've had this for while, and have rats, so thought it was them. Had a look around in the loft and can't see any dropping. I bought some sonic deterrents. The scrabbling about has stopped.

Mibbie your karaoke singing frightened away the boom-town rats

the folk who think it's ok to drop a bar with heavy weights onto the ground from chest height every time they use it. The noise is ridiculous, and to make matter worse, there is a shop downstairs from the gym, the noise is even worse down there.

We were going to the local gym and tried a couple of yoga & pilates classes - it was quite difficult to be relaxed and at one with your inner self (or whatever they kept preaching) when some meathead is dropping a 500lb bar on the floor from 4 feet after their one rep (with a huge shout when they were pushing said bar up). Peaceful it was not!

It’s not that they’re not cold. It’s like wearing two sledges on her feet

When we had a flight cancelled and then delayed the following day for over three hours with Wiizzair. When the flight was delayed we were given a voucher for 2 euros Each. This was for light refreshments.. me and Missis T went halfers on a bottle of water.

Going on holiday on Saturday. Started packing and my suitcase is broken, massive crack in it. Just had to shell out £80 on a blood stupid replacement.

BA cancelling our Edinburgh to Heathrow flight less than 24 hours in advance and moving it to a Glasgow alternative. Luckily I went to check in and noticed or would have been a major issue.

How on earth do they get away with this nonsense?

 

[GreiginFife]

I fear the answer is the "B" word. We got significant compensation when they cancelled our flight to USA at short notice a few years back but that was largely thanks to lawyer wife quoting EU regulations at them.

I fear you may be correct. To cap it all, the new flight is 3 hours earlier meaning that I now need to take a half day. So lose half a day's rate. Suddenly got a lot more expensive.

Home at 11.10 ,apparently the passengers flying out had to wait on the plane for 4 hours for the de icing .
Consequently no food for us flying back apart from chocolate bars but they did do a complimentary drink.
Felt sorry for the cabin crew,no extra pay for them

Fish

Thats more like it. Fish is cat food only

On the way home in the snow from nights, fine till I got nearer to home and it’s 3” deep and silly hilly and yet again no neighbours think to grit the roads.
I do it every time….
Well I’m not today till at least people have attempted to leave for work and hopefully get stuck or crash.
I don’t know the gradient of the hills I live on but they’re steep and enough for break lock and slide precariously hoping for grip.

Another downside to front wheel drive electric. Crap in snow.

My bank card works fine with contactless and chip and pin but has stopped working at an ATM for cash
This happened last year as well and I had to order a new card.

I’ve not used cash for months, seems like everywhere takes card payment these days.
