Delayed with no explanation of around 2 hours. Offered no assistance or compensation to people who missed flights. I do not think it is right for a company to reserve the right to refuse refunds and then treat their paying customers who are following their guidelines this way. I had to send in my project draft for work at 4PM as I arrived at 3:30 PM instead of the arranged 1:30 PM.
