After unsuccessfully trying to contact the numbers given they had to book into a nearby hotel for three nights
Extra costs all around-rooms food taxis etc

My neighbour arrived at Cardiff airport on Saturday just gone
He wasn’t allowed to board the plane because the travel agent- On The Beach - hadn’t paid for the flights
The airline wouldn’t even allow him to purchase the tickets on the spot
I have flown to the Caribbean, Malta , Jersey and Geneva in recent weeks . Some long queues but no more than that .
Malta is beautiful , had a week in Gozo, lovely quiet place , then on to the mainland for a week in Marsaxlokk .
Had a day in Valletta , what a beautiful city , a day simply wasn't enough will be returning to spend more time there.
