The airconditioning unit on our 10.00am flight blew up before we boarded, they had to get a replacement sent up to Sydney from Melbourne and so we spent the first night of our Bali vacation in the Mercure Hotel at Sydney Airport. Due to fly out at 12.00 pm the following day and I kid you not, the flight was delayed because, according to the announcement over the PA system they had "temporarily lost" the plane.
They finally "found" it and we flew out at 2.00pm. The looks on the faces of the passengers when the announcement re losing the plane came over the PA were priceless!!
