Booked a flight about two years ago from Galway to Dublin to get a connecting flight on to Gran Canaria - there was frost on the runway and they cancelled the flight and started to insist that we get a bus to the airport, I advised that we had about three and a half hours to get our connecting flight, they put us in a taxi and we made the flight as they rang ahead to Dublin Airport to advise that we were late.
Had to share the taxi with a French guy who had an hour and a half before his connecting flight was leaving - he really was being ambitous trying to make his flight
