On June 25, the scheduled Air Malta flight to Catania-Munich, scheduled to leave at 3.30pm, was delayed by about an hour.

We boarded the bus and when we arrived near the plane an airport employee stopped us from boarding. It was 3.10pm.

From that time to 4.15pm we were stranded on the tarmac for a session of sunbathing. Finally, the pilot arrived and a couple of minutes later we boarded the plane.

To refresh ourselves from that heat, the stewards gave us some water in a plastic glass... the water was two inches deep.

Besides being late, I had to pay for a taxi to get to my destination outside Catania.
