Stranded
June 15th, 2013The email arrived that morning: Your flight has been cancelled due to an airline workers strike. I was just about to leave my small hotel near the Marseille airport, but the message stopped me in my tracks.
After more than an hour on hold the airline representative gave me two choices: take the next available seat–a week from Tuesday, or receive a full refund.
“But I have to get to London in order to catch my flight home. I can’t wait until next week!” No one seemed to care, so I took the refund.
