Well Folks may i wish you all a happy new year.
May i share with you all, the following fook about in Germany/Manchester on the way home from my holiday over Xmas and the new year on the way back from visiting my sister in California.
Here goes:
We were due to land at Frankfurt airport on Sunday 2nd January at approx 9.45am. However due to weather conditions similar to those experienced in Northern England we had to circle for approx half an hour.We were then diverted to Cologne airport and sat on the ground for another two hours. We eventually got to Frankfurt three and a half hours later than our intended arrival time. We had then missed our connection onto Manchester. We then had to walk what appeared to be miles to the United Airlines ticketing desk and try get booked onto a flight back to manchester. Being the day before just about everyone was due to start back at work there were no flights back to manchester or indeed Leeds, Doncaster, Liverpool, Teeside, Newcastle or East Midlands that they could get us on to. We were therfore stuck in Frankfurt over night. Which was great.
Anyway, they got us booked on a flight the following day. This being a flight to Heathrow and another onto manchester. Fine fair enough whatever gets me home.
So we gets on these flights, which were British Airways, not Lufthansa, no complaints from me as BA had obviously had Lufthansa's pants down as we were in the business class on both flights. We even had free use of the Executive lounge at heathrow terminal five!
However the so called most efficient nation in Europe hadn't put our bags onto the flight, so we arrive at manchester a day late, still in the stinking clothes from saturday and our bags didnt turn up!
Well it's now almost five after we were due home and i still don't have a bag!!!! It might turn up tomorrow i was told. I fooking well hope so.
anyway, just thought i'd share that with you all. But there isnt a moral to the story, sorry.
Useless effin' germans!!
