Also telling pax that there's food to buy in the terminal and that it's a 4.5 hour flight once we are on our way - almost as if to deter people from coming on.

So we now have most pax on board but some not. So little chance of being able to get an earlier slot.

They are also loudly lamenting that after an hour, they will have to serve water under passenger rights.

Apparently it's really warm in the Y cabin and pax are starting to try to get off.

It's almost as if this is their first weather delay.
