I should have known it was going to be a bad day when my txi didn't show and I rang them only to find out that they had no record of my booking! However they sent one out straight away and I made it to the airport 25 mins before the flight as due to leave, got on ok but then it all went downhill
On my flight to Paris today we had a few problems, first off we pushed back and then stopped, captain came on and said that they couldn't start one engine so we were being pulled back on stand while they tried to fix it.
After some time they came back and said they couldn't fix it so they were calling an engineer in and it would take some time so could we get off the plane and sit in the terminal.
So we sat there for ages (in the lounge fortunately) and were eventually called back on to the plane.
We troop out and dutifully take our seats again....and wait.....and wait until finally the captain comes on again to say that they couldn't figure out whose bags were whose as some passengers had decided not to fly and they seemed to have too many bags on the plane.
Next thing was to get off a few rows at a time and manually identify our bags to a member of groundstaff.
Talk about chaos..... Well i've identified mine and got back on the plane for the third time today, we are 3.5 hours late at this point and the doors are still open, I assume they are sorting out the bags and reloading the plane.
I hope they have figured it out now, i'm tired, hungry and fed up, plus I put my power cord in my bag I checked in, not something I normally do and am now regretting.
Took some pictures which I'll upload later....
edit: the flight from Amsterdam to Paris was also delayed but fortunately not by as much, here's the photo of luggage chaos
