'With the number of planes being diverted at the moment, you might set off for Italy but you could land anywhere at all – there's even an outside chance you could turn up in the same place your luggage was accidentally sent to. That would soften the blow somewhat.
My wife and I missed a connecting flight coming home from a wedding in Turkey recently. We were put up in a hotel in Istanbul and the only other guests were people who had gone to Turkey for cheap plastic surgery. We had an amusing time at breakfast trying to guess what everyone was having done. There were an awful lot of men with bandaged hair transplant heads. I don't really want to go back there, thank you.'
