this is the first time in a long time I took a plane. Believe me, it'll be a long time before I'll catch another one... I hate this. I really can't stand the uncertainty of not knowing when I'll be home. Even
if I'll get home... I've heard people will have to wait for 2! weeks before they can get home (aka, the first plane with an empty seat will be in 2 weeks...).
Ryanair has suspended flight till at least Thursday, 13:00...
