they canceled my replacement trip without an explan@tion
so, i arrived a few minutes too late in Munich to catch the plane to Nice… 4 hours later a second plane was supposed to b4ing me to Nice, but this one was cancelled without giving a reason 10 minutes before boarding… so, I was obliged to spend the night in a boring hotel near the airport, before wake up at 4 in the morning to finally get a flight at 7 am… sad story, isn’t it?
