No vinyl boards to be seen, fake news! I don't think that airlines are responsible (legally) for providing accommodations or meals if flight are delayed or cancelled due to natural disasters, and not everyone purchases travel insurance. I was stuck once in an airport in Mexico during a hurricane where all flights out were cancelled. The airline offered us nothing and we slept on the airport floor and bought our own meals. Their response was...we didn't cancel the flight, the airport did. My experience is that airlines don't have a heart and will only make good when it is clearly their fault.

Chazar Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 The most interesting thing to note is that the Police "new haircuts style skinhead" is still being enforced rigorously even after about 16 months, the fact that their policing is still atrocious and that there has been no other change is apparent. Style over substance as usual, where looks = VERY important................quite pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
