I think the Corydon one knows all about it as far as I could tell. Although, it is a genuine step up from the Travelodge.

When going on Holiday means after 12hours nearly 6 of which are sat on a runway with no food. Playing Suitcase wars for 2 hours in the chaos of baggage handling. You have travelled 7 miles in total and are back home with your holiday cancelled you know you haven't had the best day. Time to re-book and try again. The baggage reclaim was like a war zone no-one had a clue what was going on. All baggage coming out from over 100 flights on 3 conveyors in a random order. People were just walking out leaving without luggage. Now to see if we can claim on insurance for hotel. Jet2 we're good and offered a full refund straight away unlike others.

Sounds terrible. Hope you get sorted with a new holiday and compensation for the one you lost.

At least the Palace won last night. Small consolation I guess, but maybe it helped a bit.
