Flight Delay
On the day we travelled home we were scheduled to get the last Air France flight to Newcastle at around 9:30pm, and two minutes before we were due to board the flight we were informed that the plane we should be getting on hadn't even left Dublin yet!
So our flight was pushed back two hours, we were given €8 to get "a sandwich and a drink", and with sandwiches costing €6 it wasn't really going to work out that way.
My ankle was absolutely killing on our final day so I just sat at the gate with my shoe off for the entire delay.
Thankfully my taxi was waiting for me as I left Newcastle Airport, and it was also lucky I still had some £ left over from our departure as our taxi fare had now gone up because it was 1am when we landed so we had to pay a bit extra on top of the prebooked price we had already paid.
There was a strike happening at Charles De Gaulle airport the day we left, so its not the norm to be delayed by two hours, and I felt even worse for the passengers on the flight to Manchester that found out their flight was cancelled!
