Typical morning? Really!?



Brexit hasn't helped anything. Brexit was suppose to be amazing for us but now we can't take advantage of being able to go live and work in any EU country without question. The airlines have also done this to themselves. They lay off workers now expect them back.....

Our flight was cancelled at 4.47....we got to the airport at 3.30am...tried to check in but no go....we only had hand luggage but some on the flight with hold bags had their bags checked in and then it was cancelled no help as there is no desk ...just go on the app and the one member of staff just gave us a pre printed sheet and had no info on other flights ..


Given our flight was at 5.45 I think they would have known hours before i5 wasn’t going out....anyhoo we managed to get on a Vueling service going out at 13.45 so only 8 hours at the airport ...sheer luck as we were sitting by a family who told us about it so we got some of the remaining seats

Will really think twice before booking EasyJet again

Travel industry plea for overseas workers rejected

it's up to the airline industry to attract workers with good pay and conditions, not to import cheap labour

Airlines are cutting corners at every opportunity…at the cost of families desperate to get away after the last 2 years…and over working staff to the point of exhaustion….and paying them peanuts.

[user104658]

We had decades of flights to and from anywhere in Europe (a huge number of flights in and out of the UK) being quick/simple due to open borders. No longer a thing.

The airlines used to be able to put out a call for staff across the entire EU due to the right to work in any country. No longer a thing.

It’s entirely unsurprising that flights are having issues with staffing and red tape.

BBC Text:
[A tragedy at Gatwick Airport is the lead story
in the Sun, which says a disabled passenger
became "the first victim of Britain's airport chaos"
after he fell to his death from an escalator.
The paper says the man had
been waiting for assistance from
an EasyJet flight but became frustrated
by delays, prompting him to leave
the plane into the packed terminal,
where the accident occurred.]

[In the Drunk Tank]

Sounds like a tragic accident but bit weird they call it 'the first victim' as if we should suddenly start to see a lot of deaths caused by airport delays

Yes, he was disabled
did not want to wait any longer
for the person that would assist him

This July Gatwick
now will limit the amount going in
for Flights

So around 10%
will not fly out.

Currently, it is 900 flights a day

In July the Limit is 825 flights a day

In August, it will be 850 flights a day

Stewart Wingate
CEO of Gatwick
hopes this will help.

Just made my claim for our cancelled flight

250.00 per person compensation
plus the cost of the new flight
plus a late charge at the airport to the car hire company
plus food at Gatwick

these claims must be costing them a fortune
