Our flight was canceled at 8:15 am we waited for almost 4hours to depart, the dispatcher guy doesn’t know when the bus is still coming we didn’t expect that to him it’s okay..we we’re completely devastated and waited for nothing, I end up buying a ticket to another bus company in order to travel on the same day .
