£350 shambles

How good are the F.O. at arranging emergency flights to bring nervous Brits home from Oman? Grab cash off the passengers, put them through a 4-hour check-in shambles then let them board the plane; which hangs around for 90 minutes.
    Then the pilot realizes that he’s reached his duty hours limit and he has to take a break by law.
    No one from our consulate in Oman around. The passengers are unloaded and moved to a hotel. All in all, a journey home that takes around 24 hours.
