It is fine blocking out my lack of flight back to the UK for the evening but Monday morning and reality hit again. Last week I went into Ankara Travel, even though I booked online, I spoke to Sheniz and I have to say she deserves a medal! She said to ring her on Monday, today, and she would try and let me know what was happening with the flights.   I didn’t have to ring her, she rang me! The bad news, there would not be a flight leaving on Thursday…the day my ticket was booked for, but there was one on Saturday. Now I was in a real quandary of what on earth to do.  Of course chats on the phone to Mal and also sorting out a ticket from Larnaca on Thursday night. I couldn’t settle to anything and couldn’t decide what to do.

Late afternoon Sheniz called me again and asked if I had anything sorted out. I said no and she replied that another flight had been put on and also there was a flight the following morning. BUT with all these flights it was not a question of booking, Atlas jet were just waiting for people to ‘turn up’.  She advised to arrive at the airport early, at least three hours before the flight. A decision was made. I was leaving in the morning and so had to get house sitters, Rosie and everything else organised in a hurry. David kindly offered to run me to the airport. Here I also have to thank sincerely Sheniz who was so helpful even though I had not booked through Ankara Travel. We booked online. Having said that we are going to book with Ankara in the future. Good service needs to be rewarded!!  Well, I didn’t know whether I was coming or going but finally got everything sorted out and went to bed, hardly sleeping, desperate to get any flight back!
