18-Hour Flight Delay: Swiss Woman's Nightmare Trip with Condor

A Swiss woman's trip to Greece turned into a nightmare when her Condor flight from Zurich to Heraklion was delayed 18 hours due to bad weather. The flight was diverted multiple times, forcing the passengers to stay on board without proper food or drink. "We spent 18 hours on the plane with only one glass of water! The plane was diverted four times!" Julie, the Swiss passenger, told 20 Minuten. During a two-hour layover in Athens, passengers were not allowed to disembark. After several failed attempts to land in Heraklion, the plane finally landed on the island of Kos for two hours before attempting to reach Heraklion again. In Athens, passengers were given an ultimatum: disembark without their luggage or fly back to Zurich. Julie chose the latter. Condor has been contacted for comment. This incident highlights the challenges faced by air travelers during unexpected weather disruptions and the importance of adequate passenger care.
