Ok so it was time to go home :(. We arrived at Sharm Airport at 7.20 for the 9.10 departure time. We checked in and asked what time the flight was leaving just to make sure, he said 8.10! But on the tickets it said 9.10. We immediatly went to the gates, there was no need to rush really we had to wait an hour to board! We watched the Excel flight to MAN board their buses to their plane then i looked at the departures board and it said we had departed :confused: !? This was so confusing, no one knew what was going on and to make things worse there was no staff anywhere! About an hour later we began to board yet again the same 757 TF-ARK, the reason for the delay was due to headwind on the way from LGW the pilot told us, we couldnt really hear what he was saying due to the PA not working proplery so i didnt catch his name. We were parked next to the Excel flight to MAN which was a 767 reg G-BOPB. Everyone was finally on board but then the captain announced that there was a problem with the number of passengers, 20 mins later we began taxi. We didn’t push back we just turned around on the apron. We took off from runway 4L and immediatly turned to head north to Cairo. We flyed right over the city and it was amazing but my crap camera didnt pick up anything out of the window :o. Light snaks were bought around and then the captain spoke to us again he told us that the flight was going to take 4 hours 55 mins, 5 mins more than on the way due to headwind. There was ALOT of turbelence (Spelling???) which made the ride very bumpy. Food was bought around and yet again it was sasuage and mash, i ate abit of it then slept. I woke up with an hour to go, i watched Recess and My Family then we began to line up for 26L for landing,the landing was very smooth and we taxied off past a few cargo planes along with alot of charters and easyjets. When we walked to the end of the plane to the door the captain was standing there behind a cabin member he waved to my mum and i said why is he waving to you and she said becuase he goes to my gym! LOL! he came down the steps to talk to my mum and she was having a short natter to him :p.
For this flight i give Excel:
9/10 for comfort
10/10 for service
6/10 for being on time
Thanks alot for reading guys 😀 !
