Gatwick flight delayed 4 hours!

Post by The Boo Radleys »

FlyBe 0810 to Gatwick delayed to 1205 - no bloody pilot! Dozens of us stuck in the City Airport!

Anybody know a jet qualified pilot and can they get him/her here pronto?

FlyBe a total shambles!!!!!

We won't make it, flight not leaving until after 12!!
Cannot believe it; looking forward to this since Aroni, I have the tickets for others too
One us "the stranded" has 22 tickets for others. Anyone have contact for Branch that we can
send reference numbers or scans of tickets to, so that they can go at least?

Thanks all - made lots of new Ulster friends in adversity today!

Hope the chap with the 22 tickets for all his mates in London gets somehow or at least Northampton honour the tickets under the reference number.

Also the lads from BRA on their first trip pre GCSE - good luck!!!

Interestingly enough, Fly Be customer relations is shut until Monday at 1000 - maybe they didn't show up either.... Maybe they're with the pilot.... Maybe they're all Northampton fans.... The plot thickens....

Hi Boo!
met you earlier at the airport- yeah you are right- Flybe talking crap, the only people waiting for that flight are people NOT going to the game... now back at home totally gutted, dont think I can even muster the will to go to Ravers...I agree with what you said, we feel bad cos we arent going now...but what about the guy with the 22 tics???
hopefully the ulster branch will give us our ticket money back.. but i doubt it as they will have bought them off Northampton... SUFTUM...an flybe can GAGF!!!

Deplorable fellas and I'm genuinely gutted for you.

Not sure there's much else that I can say.
