@SimonCalder Don't forget folks, catching the train into London? Don't get scammed on the Gatwick Express £24.10. Tap in with contactless on Southern or Thameslink for £10.70. Lots more trains same journey time. GATWICK EXPRESS, GOVERNMENT SCAM!! 732 views · 9 likes · 1 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

Around two dozen cancellations to/from Gatwick, almost all easyJet serving Milan, Corfu, Zurich, Hamburg, Amsterdam, Munich, Geneva, Lisbon, Nantes and a couple to Paris CDG.

21 flights diverted to airports as far away as Birmingham and Bournemouth. Retrieving those aircraft will cause further disruption for the rest of the day in the shape of delayed operations. Some flights may, I fear, be cancelled, which is the last thing we need on a busy Friday. 14.1K views · 29 likes · 4 reposts · 5 replies Open on X →

Gatwick airport's runway has reopened after a 50-minute closure "due to a technical issue with a departing aircraft". The Norse Boeing 787 to New York aborted its take off halfway down the runway, where it remained for 37 minutes until it was towed away and the runway inspected. 43.3K views · 196 likes · 13 reposts · 12 replies Open on X →

@SimonCalder We spent the night on the floor at Berlin Airport, when EasyJet cancelled the second of two cancelled flights. It was 72 hours after we were originally scheduled to fly. My husband has glaucoma and his meds were running out. In the end it cost us £2k to get home 84 h 1.1K views · 25 likes · 2 reposts · 5 replies Open on X →

Air passenger rights rules for UK/EU flights are clear. Flight cancelled? Airline must get you home as soon as possible, and provide hotels/meals until then. But easyJet told Charlotte Roupe and her family: We'll fly you back in a week, find your own hotel https://t.co/xVzDDSPWsY 53.7K views · 332 likes · 90 reposts · 28 replies Open on X →

They slept the first night on the Palma airport floor. After I contacted easyJet on their behalf, the company found earlier flights via Belfast. Airline: “We take our responsibilities to our customers very seriously, providing support, meals and accommodation wherever possible.” 13.6K views · 82 likes · 1 reposts · 12 replies Open on X →

Packing to return from holiday? Check clothes and luggage for hidden hitchhikers, says the National Centre for Reptile Welfare. This week a Nuneaton woman unintentionally brought home a scorpion. And a Dahl's whip snake was inadvertently imported in a case https://t.co/qbbCJojdU1 16K views · 70 likes · 9 reposts · 6 replies Open on X →
