All around the world I’ve been looking

Tonight didn’t end up the way we expected


A four o clock start for our 9am flight to Madeira.

Flight was thirty minutes taking off while
Our pilot explained that It was windy and cloudy at the airport in Madeira and whilst he could land in most places in those conditions, Madeira has strict landing policy.

He said we‘d take off and hope for the best

Despite the fact we also had no clean water for tea or coffee on board because Glasgow’s water tanks were still frozen. There was also a lack of catering but if we were happy to go. We could!

‘go’ we shouted

And we did

And six hours later we find ourselves in a holding pattern over madiera and two failed landing attempts behind us

We had to fly to Santo porto with its five parking spaces and refuel.

The we weren’t allowed to take off with a flight plan to Madeira because air traffic
Control deemed it dangerous

So
Tenerife it is.
