Dark Tranquillity Misses First Show Of Opeth Tour
Band Photo: Opeth (?)
Dark Tranquillity have posted the following message on their official website explaining why they missed the first show of the Opeth tour:
"As most of you have heard, we didn't play the 1st gig of the tour due to a missed flight in Paris. Due to foggy weather conditions, the plane from Gothenburg to Paris took off a bit later than scheduled. Despite the airline staff guaranteeing that they'd keep the connecting plane to Atlanta on hold and even arranging a special shuttle taking us to the gate as quickly as possible, we were met with a "too late, sorry" response when trying to check in.
"Our management checked all possible options for booking a new flight to allow us to make it to Raleigh in time, but ultimately we had no other choice than to wait for the next Paris-Atlanta flight 24 hours later.
"We're really sorry for the inconvenience caused, but hope that everyone understands that what happened was solely the fault of Delta Airlines and not the band, management or any promotor. We did our outmost to solve the problem, but unfortunately it couldn't be done."

Johnson you brainless mooron, Southwest only flys domestic. The plane from Gothenberg that was late was not a Delta .The Delta plane left on time. They do not hold planes because they dont want to inconvenience the other 270 passengers just for the 6 that were late from the other airline , and they do not promise to hold the plane because they have to leave on time , even for the band. They have connections to make in the us . So rather than making the other 270mpassengers late they took off on time , sorry. Being a Southwest employee you should know this.Bonehead

Fly Southwest off the runway up in Chicago , its a blast. Or into a gas station off the runway in California and endup 2 feet from the gas pumps. OR you can fly them and see the two Southwest pilots that took off their cloths while taxiing the plane and then called the flight attendant up . Well at least she ws a female. What the heck were they thinking. And whats amazing is they still have a job at southwest. Professionalism at its best.

What a bunch of bull sh__.You may get a new manager for your travel, plan a little better. You can hardly expect an airline to control the weather, see god for that. Dont blame the airline , had they not tried to get you there what was your backup plan? Sometimes there cannot be a backup plan, thats why you plan some time to get there with the weather problems.
