Disaster at Marseilles airport again !

Air France & Marseilles airport strike again – tricky flights to make happen Marseilles Lyon followed by Lyon Dusseldorf with an hour to change. Boarding the Lyon flight called to the gate on time then disaster:
17:30: boarded to Bus
17:40: Bus arrives at Plane – ground agent seeks permission to Board us no response from stewardess.
17:50: ground agent announces problem with aircraft steps – should be fixable unquote !
17:55: hassled engineer appears from plane – new announcement from plane it’s not the steps it’s an electrical fault in cockpit. Bus returns to terminal.
18:05 more info at 18:15 whether they can fix.
18:15 an honest ground agent – no info next update at 18:30 but he is pessimistic. Everyone leaps forward because they all have tight connections at Lyon.
18:20 Manage to get early in queue – connection to dusseldorf blown, no other way there tonight via Paris etc. Bail will have to try and reclaim 50% of large sum of money via internet sales.
18:22: Plan B – no other options via Frankfurt or Munich with Lufthansa so it’s Ryan air to Eindhoven from terminal 2.
18:30 find my way to terminal 2 – used to be the old freight sheds @ Marseilles airport now with it’s a minimalist conversion to a terminal “MP2”. Wow that man Ryan is clever – a bit of internal steel girdering, lots of chipboard and corrugated thick plastic and you have a terminal.
18:32: arrive at Ryan air ticket desk to buy 1930 flight ticket to Eindhoven. Don’t take amex or maestro, so it’s cash.
1837: no cashpoint that works in MP2 so back to terminal 1.
1845: back to ticket desk – a ticket is fine but no change for my cash. Argument then follows if my ticket is 194.40€ the how much change from 200€? 3 ticket sellers cannot work it out and don’t have the change.
18:50: still arguing about change.
18;54: finally check in
1900: thru security to join the “cattle herding” for boarding.
1910: officially boarded but no plane yet – in cattle queue No 2
19:12 Plane arrives it’s a Ryan air legendary turnaround.
1925: Boarding – otherwise known as a “sprint for seat”. Manage elbow my way to get an emergency exit seat (without paying more) so better legroom. Interesting use for Sick bags – double as postal envelopes for film developing – I wonder how many bags of sick the developers have received instead of film. That man Ryan is brilliant at cost saving !
19:45 taxi past broken down Lyon plane.
1952: take off behind the BA flight.
20:30 – Final straw did you know a Ryan Air sandwiches are made from 3 slices of bread not 4 – what a rip off (and more expensive than BA Connect and that is saying something !)
