Default Stuck in Bleeping Paris Airport due to snow!!! With pics.

Just my fucking luck

I have 4 hours here so going to have a rant

I left congo last night to come home Unfortunately the direct flight from pointe noire to paris was full so had to first travel to the capital there. OH MY FUCKING GOD the airport at Brazzaville is a fucking shit hole, seriously. A fucking stinking ancient piece of shit place. The seats for our nice 4 hour wait were lovely luxurious comfortable wooden benches Oh and zero fucking aircon in 25-30 deg heat.

Anyway boarded for Paris well excited about getting home. Me and a workmate were on middle seats of plane so hadn't looked outside. We stepped out into a tunnel walkway and on floor it looked like snow. I jokingly said look its snowing and had thought it was ice off the plane or whatever. Stepped out the tunnel and woah

Went and chilled for 4 hours and went to board, checked the gate board and flight cancelled

Basically i'm booked home now on half 3 flight but only IF the plane makes it in from gothenburg.

Fucking grrr.






I heard the Birmingham flight was delayed due to snow in Brum? Anyone else got snow? Nothing in Aberdeen.

Cant say for sure but i'm pretty sure there is a rail link from here. On the continent their transport is very efficient. I'd be surprised if they didnt have one.
