It's the same all over Europe.
Baggage handling, not enough flight crews, and overbooking the main cause of cancellations and holdups.
Two weeks ago, son in law and I had to drive from UK to Geneva Switzerland to fetch grandson back after flight cancelled and told by airline they would have nothing to get him back for two days.
All other flights were fully booked.
He had important end of school exams, which basically would decide his entrance to Air Force, hopefully for pilot training, and that was our only option.
Done it with 10 hours to spare for a nights sleep, and now hold our breath until August when results are published.
At 82 yoa I do not need all this excitement!!
