Just back from St Lucia,and got chatting to a couple from the Friday flight last week at the hotel we left.Apparently the plane couldn't land with the heavy heavy rain,they were told UVF couldn't deal with a 747 in heavy rain,so they were diverted to Martinique[ii]
Anyways,the ground staff managed to gouge a hole in one of the wings when they wheeled the steps over[:0].
The couple had to stay in Martinique overnight and were not best pleased as they had lost a day of their holiday and they are only there for 7 days.Virgin have apologised and offered 12500 air miles for the trouble.I know that there were alot of couples in the hotel lobby talking to the Virgin rep when we left on Sunday.Thought I'd share.....[:)]
