Taken 31 July 2007 from Manchester, England (Ringway International Airport) - MAN to Sharm El Sheikh (Ras Nasrani) - SSH
we checked in for our flight to sharm at the correct time, we were informed that there may be a slight delay of around 3 hours. we checked into the executive lounge as we normally do we kept on checking the departure board to await confirmation of our flight. eventually it came through we may be deleyed 24 hours.we were then ushered through to baggage reclaim for our luggage we waited around 2 and a half hours for our bags and ONLY to be told by the handling agents their may be another plane on its way. eventually we were informed that we were being transferred to a hotel and to go back to the departures area and wait which we did. the transfer to the hotel was to say the least shambolic. the hotel food was disgusting and drinks overpriced. we checked in as normal the following day made our way to the departure lounge and waited for our flight to be called, eventually we were called to gate 20, we sat there waiting asking for information to be told that they still had to test the engine from the previous day to MAKE SURE THE SPECIAL GLUE HAD DRIED. we then were told to go to gate 6 as our flight was ready to go. we took our seats adjacent to the exit and were listening to the cabin crew as they were discussing flyjet and that they were out of hours for our flight and they may have to fly with minimum crew, eventually they changed the crew and we took off some 28 hours late, to add insult to injury we asked for compensation for losing 1 day of our holiday, we have just received a reply from fly jet and basically it says no chance of compensation as they can not guarantee to fly on time SO PLEASE BE WARNED FLYJET ARE NOT AT ALL VERY GOOD |
