I was delayed 26 hours on a Lanseria (HLA) to Durban flight on 11 June. Departure was initially 17:30. We were first told that we were delayed for 3 hours. Then we were told we were leaving at 23:30. At 23:00 they told us the flight was cancelled. Put up in some lodge and told they would fly us out the next day at 14:40 on a specially chartered plane. This never materialised. I was lied to the following day regarding departure times and the mystery charter plane. Eventually told we were on a 16:20 flight. At 16:00 they told us it was delayed to 18:20! Finally my nightmare ended at 20:00 on 12 June when we finally touched down in Durban. Throughout the ordeal the staff were unsympathetic and we were made to feel that the problem was ours.
