How not to get your flight delayed

Postby LordRaven » Thu Aug 16, 2018 12:32 pm

I hate being late for flights but sometimes things happen that cause this to happen and then the rushing around thereafter to make it on time is a right royal pain in the arse.

However this guy clearly wasn't thinking right when he did this...

His religion is irrelevant, he made a call (on the same phone he booked his flight with) to get the flight delayed.

Having travelled a lot I have to tell you that it's annoying as hell to have your flight delayed.

I am sorry you don't understand

Dean old bean his religion is not the issue, it is what he did that is utterly criminal...

A passenger who called in a bomb hoax in order to delay his flight has been jailed.
Jacob Meir Abdellak rang police eight minutes before the plane was due to leave Gatwick Airport for Los Angeles on 11 May.
The phone number used to make the call was the same one Abdellak used to book his flight, Sussex Police said.
He admitted a false information charge at Lewes Crown Court on Tuesday and was sentenced to 10 months.
Abdellak, from Hackney in east London, made the anonymous call at 05:47 BST, delaying take-off by 90 minutes.
Inquiries revealed the 47-year-old had been abusive towards airline employees when they did not allow him to board as a result of being late for the flight.
He was told to return on another date to rearrange his flight, the force said.
'Ridiculous'
The librarian was arrested at Gatwick 11 days later on 22 May as he attempted to board another flight to the United States.
The French national admitted the telephone number used to make the hoax call was his, but claimed he could not have made the call as he had lost the Sim card days earlier.
Abdellak previously pleaded not guilty to the charge of communicating false information regarding a noxious substance.
But he changed his plea on the day the trial was due to start and was ordered to pay a £140 victim surcharge as well as serving his jail term.
Gatwick Police Ch Insp Marc Clothier said Abdellak's actions were "ridiculous".
"He was running late for his flight and thought it would be a good idea to call in a hoax bomb. This turned out to be the worst decision he could have made.
"His actions caused a level of fear and distress among a number of staff and passengers on board that flight."

What a stupid thing to do :off head:

I have had quite a few delays and/or cancelled flights and have never bothered claiming compensation as many do but just looking now I see there are plenty of people willing to assist in gaining compensation...

Robin Hood Airport tweet bomb joke man wins case

Mr Chambers said he had sent the tweet, which contained swear words, to his 600 followers in a moment of frustration after Robin Hood Airport, near Doncaster, was closed by snow in January 2010.
He said he had never thought anyone would take his "silly joke" seriously.
The message Mr Chambers tweeted stated: "Crap! Robin Hood airport is closed. You've got a week and a bit to get your shit together, otherwise I'm blowing the airport sky high!!"

It's cripplingly expensive to have a delayed flight cos it sets off a chain of even more delays too, like a pebble in a pond sets off ripples.
Worst case scenario is everyone being hauled off the flight and their luggage rechecked, and the aircraft re-searched with a fine toothcomb.
The passengers will need to be fed & watered whilst they wait too.

He's lucky he's too poor to sue!

That is so true, a real butterfly effect.
