We're pretty much at the end every one's patience. Two more delays and the rumors continue to swirl. Barb's brother was terrific and picked us up and we visited with them for a while. we also took a swing around to the airport and they had a second Flyglobespan plane. The Air Canada rep, who was speaking for Flyglobespan said we were definitely leaving at 8:30 pm. Other people talking to their travel agents are hearing 12:30am. We are going to give them one last benefit of the doubt. We will check in 2 hours from now. If we get our bags handed back to us in Hamilton (as opposed to Dublin), I've located an Alaskan Cruise that we can get on last minute. We' can fly out to Anchorage at 11:00 am tomorrow. It will run for a week and we'll spend the rest of our time in Vancouver where it ends. Then we'll spend a year in small claims getting our flight money back plus the other expenses we've lost. Fortunately we booked only our first few nights in Dublin and a Rental car for the 6th of June that we can cancel at no charge.
Two rules from this:
- Always get good trip insurance (those who did got flights out on other airlines)
- Search the web for comments about airlines. Had I done that, I would have heard that Flyglobespan's launch into Canada has been plagued with bad situations like ours.
Time to retire to the plaza lounge for a chat and a wait...
