On CA flight MXP-PVG, supposed to land at 0600 but diverted to NKG as the airline claimed low visibility at PVG, funnily enough other flights were all landing normally at PVG.
Around noon we were finally allowed to get off the plane but no one knew what to do with us. Those who had connecting flights were rerouted on flights leaving from NKG instead and those seemed to be the luckiest ones. The rest were told that CA can bus us to the train station but we would have to pay for our own train tickets to wherever we were going. Needless to say this wasn't acceptable and after a few hours they finally produced buses to bus us to SHA and PVG. By the time I got to SHA (didn't want to waste a couple more hours going to PVG) it was 1900!
