The saga continues....
No EJ flights available till Sunday 23rd...not an option when you have a birthday engagement at Night Owl on the 22nd....
So, while I was in court today, my mate who's coming with me (the lovely Jo who paid for me to go to Vietnam....) text me to say that I WILL go to the ball.....she had booked us on a flight from Luton with Thomson on Friday morning. Nothing available from Gatwick....never mind, joy of joys....I'm going again!!
I got home from work to log on to EJ to claim my refund. To my horror, this is no longer available and the flight no longer shows up as cancelled. On closer observation, I see this is because EJ have now altered the time of the flight to leave Gatwick at 2245 on Thursday night - so it lands at Corfu at 0350 on the Friday morning, after the strike finishes at midnight.
So now I have TWO tickets for Friday....will have to cancel Luton (£57) but at least I will be there for my birthday. The only downside is the weather forecast but so long as they still have some retsina left, I will be fine!
A holiday wouldn't be a holiday for me if I didn't have all this drama beforehand. However, I do hope all these strikes have ended before next season!!
Yammas everyone!
