Title: Stucked in Milano-Malpensa airport
Post by: dsanchez on December 22, 2009, 12:52:58
Hello guys

I am here since sunday :eek:

Have been in two luxuries hotels (Lufthansa put me on them because of my cancelled flights), my first flight was delayed (I'm travelling to Budapest from Lisbon, connection in Milano) and I lost my connection, second flight was cancel due bad weather.

I'm right now writing from the airport. MY new flight is scheduled to 17h20, but the girl just said that all flights might be delayed or cancel again, so I don't know anymore :?

Some pics to illustrate the situation

Lot of snow at Milano airport

Lovely pics of planes in the snow! But they're not going anywhere if that's how it looks now

the pics were from yesterday, all flights until 13h00 from today were cancelled but now the situations seems to be better. At least in my case, I will be able to take the plane to Budapest, altought it will be delayed.

Hello from Budapest Ferihegy Airport!

This is the second airport in Europe (and I have been so far in Paris CDG, Paris Orly, Amsterdam, Viena...) where I have found FREE wi-fi :)

jeez i do anything to avoid sleeping in airports. luckily i never had to. free wi-fi isn't much of a consolation for that sort of  ultimately uncomfortable situation.

speaking of which, a lot of people stuck on airports in europe now:
