I flew from Rome to Budapest several years ago, and my tickets on Ryanair were $19 (!). I couldn't believe how nice the plane was. And the airport in Hungary was like a dream...looked brand new, with little old ladies keeping all the glass free of fingerprints. All I could think of was what a shithole O'Hare and Midway were by comparison. The subway was also spotless. The only problem was I couldn't read a fucking word on any of the signs. It's one thing to get around France and Italy, with the similarities in language. Hungarian might as well have been Chinese.

Yea well they're great until your flight is on the chopping block. They are cancelling on 400,000 passengers because of a pilot shortage.

16 hours stranded at Stansted and counting. 3 inches of snow has put the UK in a borderline state of emergency. The line to get to the Ryanair customer service desk had to be thousands strong and they had TWO people handling refunds/hotels/rescheduling. Took 10 hours to get through the line for me and I was in the first 15% of people when the mad dash happened.

Insane.

That's why you bought travel insurance, right?

You complained about them in September yet booked a December flight with them? Why?

And now you are complaining again. About something very easily anticipated?

Yes.

Just like Spirit or Frontier, you sell your dignity for a cheap fare. Did it once and that was also the last time.

This is really the fault of a country that all but shuts down because of 4 inches of snow.

Yea any part of the USA above 50° N (there are almost none, Minneapolis is basically on top of the 45th) is capable of enduring a few inches of snow without it being a near catastrophe.

Yeah but the climate is different. Snow in London is a rarity.

Well for one Stansted is closer to Cambridge than it is to London. I will say when I was leaving London is was raining and as I was on the train it started snowing pretty steadily about 10 minutes north of Tottenham-Hale. Of course now that the whole country is fucked and Eurostar costs an arm and a leg I'm having to take a ferry, and the southeast is fine. Nothing on the ground here in Dover.

But also, this happens enough that every London airport should be able to at least handle low/moderate accumulating snowfall. Stansted, Heathrow and Luton were all completely fucked up. British Airways apparently stranded 50,000 people despite the fact that Heathrow just bought the same fast plows Chicago has at O'Hare.

Its humiliating that they cannot handle 4-5 inches of snow. Even the trains were fucked up until midday today.

I'm just North of Atlanta and we got 6 inches of heavy snow Friday, school was shut down today still.

Living down here it makes sense that everything shuts down for it. There are no plows, no giant mounds of salt and most people drive pickups. Also I was shocked at how hilly it is. Ain't nothing you gonna do trying to go uphill on a sheet of ice. There are also tons of 50 -70 foot tall trees helping to shade the roads in many places.

That gif is from Montreal. I've actually been in that office where the person filmed the video for that clusterfuck. That street is extremely hilly and I'm not surprised something like that happened.

Sir! I had Commander Heatherly in my sights, he saw me move in for the kill. He then proceeded below the hard deck. We weren't below 10,000 for more than a few seconds. I had the shot, there was no danger, so I took it.

Yeah, and it also falls well within America's 50° cutoff for competent winter weather management.

Ironic America's statement was saved by the clarification of USA cities about 50. All bets are off in Canada eh.

I was confused by the statement. First part says "any part of the USA above 50° N..." and then he goes on to essentially say no part of the USA is above 50° except MSP.

Regardless of where they lie (lay?), MSP averages 54 inches of snow a year while London averages a fraction of an inch. Not a surprise that MSP handles it a bit better :lol: :lol:

Definitely. Plus with the places that never get snow it’s always a falling temp preceding it so you always get that layer of ice on the bottom.
