 Edinburgh, a familiar story. We were supposed to go to Germany, Cologne, and our flight was quarter past one, but it's just been told that it's been cancelled. To Rome, where United GM Michael Metollo says... The captain and I have decided that there's really no point in boarding the flight if we're going to just get on board the aircraft. Cancellations and delays, the bane of travellers at airports stretching right around the world.
