Last summer with meticulous planning, the family and I decided to descend on Florida for a 3 week holiday.
We like to try and visit Mickey Mouse and his chums every few years. The flights and villa had been booked for nearly a year and finally the day of our holiday was nearly upon us. Everything was packed and ready to go, and the last minute nerves were starting to kick in.
Finally the day of our vacation was upon us, the clock radio had been set for at least a couple of hours before it really needed to be. We got to the airport with plenty of time to spare and managed to grab a beautiful breakfast at one of the cafes in the terminal.
Our flight was due to take off at 11.15am, which low and behold it actually did.I thought it was all going too well, and trust me I was right in my thinking. The next 9 hours on our flight to Orlando International were the absolute worst hours of my life.
The cabin crew were very abrupt and obnoxious, the seatback television wasn’t working, the overall service was dismal and if you dared to ask for anything you were glared at and told to wait. I actually had to wait for over an hour for a drink! I could understand maybe if it had been with a cheap old charter flight, but this was a scheduled flight with a big airline and cost us a fortune.
In all honestly, I cannot imagine myself ever flying with this airline again. Since we returned from our holiday, I have sent a very strong letter of complaint to the airline in question. This weekend I got a letter from the airline company and they had sent me a voucher for £25.00 towards my next flight.This I think is an absolute insult and does not even total 1% of the full cost of our flights.
Next summer I am considering something totally out of the usual for our annual holiday. One of my friends has thoroughly praised her recent Peru Holiday and to be honest, after looking at some of her holiday pictures, it looks absolutely idyllic. It must be beautiful to be able to walk along the world famous Inca Trail.
I will definitely be considering booking such a wonderful holiday, walking could well be the way forward for me!!
