We were flying to Orlando Sanford a few years ago on Monarch Airlines from Newcastle. The flight was supposed to depart at 8:30 in the morning. At about 8:00 we began to board. We sat on board the aircraft for 15 minutes when an announcement was made. The flight was delayed for several hours. We […]

I was flying from Atlanta to Honolulu in 2005. This was the 4th or 5th trip from the east coast to the Hawaiian Islands that year, so I was not particularly looking forward to the flight. We were delayed an hour at the gate for no particular reason. So when we were seated I was […]
