After 6 hours and 15 mins on hold I gave up and am now in a queue to speak to a person at T2.

BEWARE - they are being really sneaky - they hand you a QR code to scan (mumble… to get a refund) and seem most annoyed when I said I don’t want a refund and want to be put on a new flight. But I’m seeing plenty of people doing it.

They are also telling people they are only Allowed a max of 3 hotel nights which is contrary to UK261 as far as I can tell.
AC has been totally greasy during this whole thing. Seeing the callous way they are dealing with passengers I almost feel that CUPE dealing with them must be a nightmare and I am no fan of CUPE in the least.
