British Airways staff onboard the flight apologized to Gamson and his partner, and promised to put them on their return flight en route to Granada. But a three-day ordeal resulted in them never reaching the Spanish city, and a refusal from the airline to reimburse their roughly $4,500 first-class tickets.
So Gamson decided to sue the airline, seeking $34,000 in damages.
"It's just so sad. A trip we had been really looking forward to was ruined and ... BA won't do the decent thing," he told The Independent.
Grenada, not Grenada.
