They could have remained cramped in the aircraft with those bathrooms all night.

I can say that I truly appreciate the pro-active response to this situation. To Aaron Adderly and his staff….Thank you for reminding us that Bermuda is Another World…

All kudos to Aaron Adderley and the DOA for not only foreseeing the possibility of this situation and having a plan in place, but also for acting on it at short notice…. Most professional: this is how Bermuda should be – and can be – run when politics and inept management are not a factor!

For your information it’s a policy of the Bermuda Hotel Association for all members to offer distressed passenger rates for situations like this, which are of no profit to hotels. So it is likely that hotels were pretty full and the airline was not about to send 100 of the passengers to the available rooms and leave the other 164 sleeping on the Airport floor.

Oh really always quick to judge others, where does it say they were looking to stay anywhere for free? If the plane had mechanical problems then it is the airline’s responsibility to put the passengers up. They figured they would lie their way out and say that the hotels were booked. In the US you can get 3 or 4 cheap rooms at a hotel for the price it would cost for one lousy hotel room here.

Really?????????? But then, the same thing would have happened to Bermudians in Canada if our flights had been delayed or cancelled. Spent one night on the floor at Toronto – no biggy – it happens. Perhaps they are looking for a STAY Vacation or a freebie back here.
