"Several" cancelled flights is a big mess? You must live a really
sheltered life.

Have never experienced a mess like this since I have started travelling
to Asia in 1999. And for intercontinental flights there are anyway
different standards than for short haul flights, where you can just take
the next one a couple of hours later. It's a different story when
jetlagged and tired people who have been travelling all night find
themselves stranded in a place very far away from home.

And let me add that 27000 people, tired and jetlagged in-between
intercontinental flights were affected, with travel schedules delayed by
up to 24 hours. You think that that is normal?
