  2. To be fair, i’ve been on some holidays where i felt dead on the way home, Could’ve done with being wheelbarrowed away

  4. I used to work in travel insurance…

    This is not the first time a family has tried to pass off a dead body as sleeping, and tbh I don’t blame them for trying.

    Repatriation of a dead body is *fucking expensive*.

  6. Nana is dead…serious about saving money to get home for her funeral.

  9. Thought of going back to Peterborough was too much for her.

    I wanna know how they got her through security.

  10. At least Nan got her holiday.

    That’s the main thing.

  11. Having seen the repatriation costs for air ambulances I don’t blame them.

    Friend’s daughter fractured her wrist in Turkey, £10K later they got her wrist in a splint and she was then transferred home.

    And what a send off, flying home like an angel, albeit powered on high by four jet engines.

  12. I am really surprised they got her as far as they did. 

    I was flying once and the ticket agent obviously thought I looked unwell, reported me and I was taken for a medical check up. There was no choice about it, it was mandatory or they were not allowing me on the flight. And I was upright and walking around, mind. It was actually quite embarrassing to remember, I wanted to cry. Hard to believe that she got past all those people and didnt even have to hand over a ticket personally or anything. 

  13. I had problems listening to this on the radio, I thought it was dead air initially

  14. That’s a bit inconvenient passing away before the flight took off, delaying the flight for 12 hours…I would have kept quiet and said nothing until the other end!!!
