Cut a long story short, 2 hours on plane waiting for computer, does not fix, so all off the plane, back to lounge, try to get on another flight as I have shows starting in London at 9am and flight was scheduled to land at 6 am so was already cutting it fine.  Not allowed to change flight as I have checked luggage ( so… get it off the plane and put it on the other plane, we just all got off the plane and waiting for another plane, so bags have to come off anyway ! ) but no dice. 1o hours later still no departure, so now, not only have I missed some shows, but I was also employed to shoot the women show for Paul Smith at 4pm, so needed to be there at the latest 3pm, plane now not scheduled to land till about 3:30 .( Ended up landing at 4pm ) SO not happy, and then to make things worse, bags were did not even make it on the plane, even though we sat there after 2nd boarding, for 3 hours on the plane, waiting for catering, and it does not take 3 hours to take bags of one plane and put them on another plane ( although not all bags, as a lot of passengers did get their bags, strange ) So now as I type this , I still do not have my bags, so I had to buy a lot of equipment to be able to shoot the shows. And I always get travel insurance, bit hey, do  I have the wrong insurance, as covermore does not cover equipment replacement for delayed luggage, only emergency toiletries and clothes, and that only after 24 hours of confirnmed delay, loss of income, not a chance. So even more pissed now 🙁
