    A friend has just had her Monday 19th 16:30 lhr to venice cancelled and doesnt seem to have a cost free rebooking option. Anyone else got the email?

    Strangely the 16:30 is not available on the Tuesday either – are they using the funeral to reduce capacity?

    May need to wait a little while for the rebooking options to appear (or can call in / live chat if a suitable flight has been identified)

    There were quite a few cancellations anyway due to the flight cap so a flight operating / not operating on any particular day is not related to the funeral. The request I believe is for a 40% reduction in movements between approx 2-8pm

    Definitely regretting the Ex-EU flight to the US from Dublin via Heathrow on Monday! I’m bracing for the worst….

    Seems to be sorted now after a lengthy call with a helpful person. I assume this will be excluded from Eu261 compensation?

    All you can do in these situations is pack an extra pair of underpants.
