Heard a couple of bad luck stories during the trip, thought I might share them so no one else gets caught out in future.
1) Couple who missed Gate by 10mins at Munich and were not allowed to board flight despite being there 20mins before take off. Had to pay £300 each to get to Alicante.

I think this is my mates you're talking about - but it was more stupidity than bad luck. 5 of them wanted to wait until they'd finished their drink so did, and when they sauntered over to the door to take them to the bus which drove to the plane they were told it had just been locked and the bus had just left. 3 made it, those 5 who didn't had to pay £283 for a flight via Dussledorf. About 12 hours later I arrived at alicante airport to find them waiting for a taxi to our hotel, knackered and skint.
