This one actually happened - october 2007 monarch flight gatwick to preveza.
Was driven to our monarch airlines b757 by bus. No problems there. On landing and taxiing in we were told by an announcement "ladies
and gentlemen, please wait for the doors to open. You will then be asked to board a bus which will take you to the terminal"
Most of the passengers chuckled at this statement as the terminal was about 100 yards away from the right side of the aircraft.
A second announcement follows
"ladies and gentlemen, the prior announcement is obviously not correct - there are NO buses, just a short walk to the terminal! thank you!"
Cue more laughter and sarcastic cheers from the passengers!
My version of the mastercard advert:
Send a text confirming I'm going on holiday: £0.25p
Sailing holiday to greece including flights etc: £395 each
Hearing those announcements: PRICELESS!
