yeah i am as well um basically last week it was a break in the pwr so we all had a week off so five of us went out to dubai phil a bit of a girl's holiday had a really good time And then three of the girls were going back a little bit earlier because I think they had an appearance on the Sunday or something.
And Sadia and I said, oh, we'll just get an afternoon flight so we can spend the day in the sun.
And then when we got to the airport, people were saying the flight's cancelled, the flight's cancelled.
So we basically just had to turn away because there was no sight of the flights coming back on.
So we quickly booked an Airbnb and that's pretty much where we've been since really.
First few days was quite scary just because it's the unknown and we were trying to stay off of social media and Obviously, the news highlights everything that's going on, but we felt really safe throughout the period.
And yeah, I think more than anything, we were just wanting to get back and not knowing when that was going to happen.
And I think that was the thing that probably stressed me out the most was... you'd book a flight and then 12 hours before you get told that it's cancelled and obviously I think there was like 200,000 Brits out there or people that were needing to go through the UK that were all trying to get on flights so then you'd go to rebook and it'd be like five days time and then you might look again and one might come up and then that gets cancelled so a lot of cancelled flights and a lot of organising but Yeah, I mean, anybody that knows myself or even Sadia as a person, we're both pretty chill under pressure.
um a bit like her mum probably but i said oh i'm such a type a person so i like really like to know everything that's going on really organized like kind of hour by hour i'd want updates and you were you were the same which really surprised me didn't it i was like oh my god i was like in a crisis you're a
type a at the start it was like i have to be like that because we needed something to like work towards almost like knowing yeah we're gonna we've got a flight booked on Thursday and not I don't like waiting on other people because I needed a little bit of control in that um I know there's a lot of people still trapped out there and if any of these listeners actually know people that are out there go to the office at Emirates airport at the airport and go to the ms office because our next flight was thursday so tomorrow and we saw on tiktok someone saying you can go to the office so we went
were in the queue for about 40 minutes it wasn't too bad and we went and maybe three o'clock in the afternoon so it wasn't like first thing or last thing um and they just said yeah we can get you on a flight tomorrow so if anyone does know anybody out there go to the ticket office and you'll be able to get on a flight much sooner
