EasyJet customers were shocked and angry after receiving an email stating their flight from Geneva to Gatwick had been delayed for 8 decades.
Short flight delays are common.
However, EasyJet customers were shocked and angry after receiving an email stating their flight from Geneva to Gatwick had been delayed for 8 decades. 130 passengers received the message which noted their flight had been rescheduled, slated to depart on July 29th 2099.
The airline issued an apology for the inconvenience and originally cited bad weather for the prolonged future scheduling. A Civil Aviation Authority spokesperson stated “Because the delay is weather-related, it is unlikely compensation will be due, but that does not affect your rights to accommodation, food and phone calls.”
That meant that if any of the passengers lived through the 86 year delay, they would be entitled to a hotel room every night along with three meals and two international phone calls per day, all at the expense of the airline.
Too bad that won’t happen. An EasyJet authority sent out another apology to passengers informing them that the message containing the future rescheduled date was not accurate and it had been caused by a computer glitch.
A good portion of customers asked for a refund for the flight.
