What's the most fun you've had in an irrops?
Our best was a 2 day delay at Houston. We were actually in denver when we got notified but the DEN - IAH flight was not linked as our IAH - LHR flight was the return leg of a 241.
We were notified the night before the flight was cancelled but couldn't rebook online or get anyone on the phone. When we got to IAH it was chaos - 2 BA flights cancelled. We queued for ages to be told we could get on a flight 2 days later. No hotel offered and it was such chaos we didn't even argue.
I got online and booked a Dodge Challenger for 2 days (we'd been in a 30' RV for the previous 2 weeks) and then looked for somewhere to stay.. What Galevston is near Houston? I know a song about there! Booked the hotel and got our car.
Glen Campbell on the stereo and we roared down to Galevston! Had a fab day and 2 nights there eating fresh seafood and meeting Texans then an afternoon at the Houston Space Center on the way back to the airport.
All brilliant! Never claimed compensation - just emailed work "Houston we have a problem...."
So come on, how have you filled the extra unexpected time?
