Flight Delay
The flight was due to take off at 22.25 local time, but after several delays took off at 00.55 local time. The departure board couldn't handle departures after midnight so remained on 23.55.
Although the delay was somewhat annoying, two and a half hours is nothing compared to the delays that some people are tollerating at Gatwick and Heathrow. In fact we were the only departure from Forli after 21.00, and the flight was only 20% full, so us small group of passengers had six departure areas all to ourselves, and they kept the bar open for us too.
One can't really complain, especially as RyanAir were determined to get us home by taking on way too much fuel (in case we had to circle or divert). And they didn't charge us for this extra fuel!
