    Sodding budget airlines he thought as he looked up at the flight departure screen, all showed a blue colour except the last flight of the night to Glasgow. Every flight was on time or boarding except his, the display flashing, 'Please contact your airline service desk,' in an angry and taunting red. So much for getting home in time for a late dinner. He scanned the terminal and saw a queue of about twenty agitated people off to his right all trying to ask the same questions of the harassed woman behind the desk, "Why is our flight cancelled? When will we be flown home? Where are we to stay tonight?" As he joined the back of the queue a colleague of the woman came out from the back office to book hotel rooms for those that were staying whilst another helped her deal with the ever increasing line of would be fliers. Judging by how quickly the queue was moving he guessed that he would be seen within ten minutes so decided against calling his wife to give her the news that he wouldn't be home tonight. Not that they had anything planned for tonight. His son was playing ice hockey at the rink at the end of the road and his wife helped out in the coffee shop so he wouldn't be greatly missed.

No, a hotel room would be fine. The good news was he had the company credit card with him so at least he wouldn't be directly out of pocket, the bad news was that as he owned the company he would be footing the bill one way or another. "Yes, that will be fine. Here's my passport and check in details." He flashed an easy smile and was rewarded with one in return. Remembering the surly traveller that she had just served he added, "I'm guessing not every customer has been as accommodating as me so far?" "If only," she laughed. "Most seem to think that as it's Good Friday I should be able to fix the plane myself so they can get home to their family for Easter. Have you any luggage to check in or is it just cabin baggage you have?" "Just a cabin bag, I came down yesterday evening for the last day today of the Taxi trade exhibition at the NEC today."
