basically we had a connecting flight in athens from brussels and this flight got cancelled and they failed to tell us the reason for the cancellation. because of this cancellation we ended up having to go from our initial country (belgium), have a connecting flight in munivh, then in istanbul, till we reached our final destination (lebanon). this was very tiring. on top of that, this cancellation of my outbound flight id not letting me change the date of my inboud flight even though i paid a lot of money to have it be modifiable.

Late leaving montreal, trapped on airplain, would not let us off, never told us before getting on plane about delay. I have disablilty. then when we arrived in Brussels, we were late, missed connecting flight, then had to go to Frankfurt then Berlin, instead of Brussels to Berlin. They never offered anything.

Delay from lhr to bru...

Delay from lhr to bru coming in over half hour late caused us to miss the ljubljana connection due to take off at 14.15. No other flight to ljubljana from brussels offered as none due until weds 3rd. Offered flight to frankfurt with flight on to ljubljana on morning of 1st. Arrived ljubljana from frankfurt late morning. Total delay took approx 22 hours. Being 2 type 1 diabetics age over 60 we had no choice but accept the alternative flight offer. Trip on river we had booked was lost due to our late arrival. Cost £45. Booked by phone.

We had already boarded...

We had already boarded the plane on the 27th when we were told that the plane could not leave because of a technical issue. We had to wait until around 17h30 when the issue was resolved and we could reboard the plane and leave after 18h00. We arrived at home at 2.30am on the 28th after the landing in Banjul was delayed for more than 30min due to a storm.
