"There have been flights chartered to bring all brits back home within hours of original flight plan. More of an issue if nit gone anywhere yet as you lose iut if you've no insurance "
Apparently, holidays with Monarch are covered by ATOL, so three chances of getting your money back:ATOL, Insurance or credit card.
However, Monarch are saying (last I heard anyway), that their flights only business is not covered by ATOL, so only chances appear to be Insurance or credit card.
I've got flights only booked for next year, paid by credit card so should be OK (I know.......smug b*stard) |

"Laugh at others misfortunes?
Karma can be a real bitch sometimes...
Just saying....
If you can’t laugh at misfortune what can you laugh at?
Jokes and things that are actually funny "
My friend being stranded in a holiday resort is funny, I’m sure he would much rather be back here at work |

Not stranded as all brits are being flown home within hours of original flight but possibly not to the same airport.
I'm glad I'm not one of your friends |

You only need to pay £100 of the flight on a crefit catd for article 47 to apply, however beware, it has to be the main cardholders card that purchases the flights (secondary spouse cards are not covered) and the cardholders name needs to be the lead name on the booking. |

I know somebody who was flying with Ryanair. Their flights where cancelled and they managed to rebook with monarch. ??????
And I wouldn't usually laugh but what are the odds. Even he laughed. |

He got back at 2am on Sunday morning courtesy of BA
It would have been sooner but the BA booking system crashed again. His hotel booking and airport transfer was messed up even though it was booked independently.
He’s not bothered that I have constantly been taking the piss out of him because I was the only one of his mates who actually checked up on him.
Who needs enemies with mates like me ?  |

I always give him good advice, another guy gives him bad advice but for some reason he often listens to the other guy (who incidentally recommended Monarch) he said yesterday “I should listen to you more often “ |
