After boarding, at departure time they needed a new battery but it had been sourced so another two hours. Update was “the other airline has rescinded the offer” so flight delayed to 5pm tomorrow. Somewhat farcical trying to get off because they had started the meal service.

obviously lots of kids on board heading for a long night. Not the finest hour for the crew. Captain said it was outside their control, I suppose he meant the other airline pulling the part.

the App was as usual, useless. Got a text to use the chat function and told an email will come. I’ll sort my own accommodation out. Good luck everyone.
