If i was stuck at a foriegn airport and i had family with me i would feel fine but if i had no family with me I would be nervous and couldnt wait to go home. I wouldnt do anything just play by air. If I couldnt go on holiday from Christchurch i would go to the imformation desk and ask if flights will be re-planned and go home and wait.

ReplyDeleteI wouldn't really mind if it was Germany (because I love it there...)But if I was held up and didn't have much money left I wouldn't be the happiest of all.
ReplyDeleteBut if this was to happen, it would obviously staying longer which leads to accomadation which leads to money...
In other words I don't really know how exactly I would react, but I would be scared if I was on my own.
* obviously mean staying longer
ReplyDeleteIf was stuck in a overseas place I would feel disappointed depending if I was with relatives or not. if not I would try and find a cheep tent, caravan or hotel and depending on how close I am to NZ then I would try and catch a boat over here.
ReplyDeleteFROM ROSE
If I was here I wouldn't mind though, because I live here so I wouldn't have to worry about paying for accomadation...
ReplyDeleteAnd I could always rebook for a new flight.

ReplyDeleteI think if I was stranded at a foreign airport (with my family)I would feel really bored and annoyed because we would have nothing to do,I would also be feeling really nervous and worried about how long we would have to stay in the country. My family would probably find some accomadation or otherwise just find room in the airport.
ReplyDeleteIf I couldn't go on holiday from Christchurch I would be really really annoyed. I would probably go back home and just wait, until the ash has cleared.

if i was in a foreign country i would feel nervous and annoyed because if i didnt no anyone there i would feel nervous cause i would have no clue about anything and i may not no how to speak that language and annoyed cause i would of been excited about getting home seeing everyone.
ReplyDeleteif i was stuck in christchurh i would be really disappointed because that means i would miss out on something that i had been looking forward to for a long time. And i may of been flying over to see someone i hadnt seen in a long time. But afterwards i would probably book another flight.

ReplyDeleteIf I was stuck in a foreign airport, i would try not to panic, I would feel worried and stressed. I would rebook my tickets to a later date and then make sure that I had somewhere to stay. I would book accommodation.
ReplyDeleteIf i was stuck in christchurch waiting to go over seas. I wouldn't be worried as much because I could just go back home, and stay there. I would feel annoyed and frustrated that I have to reebook everything.
If i was stuck in a foreign airport, wouldnt be happy because it will be boring and sad coz i wont get to see my friends.It would be anorying if we had to stay because u wouldnt probly know anyone a part from ur family.
ReplyDeleteIf i got stuck in christchurch i wouldnt worry coz i can just go home and rebook the trip another time so that we can go but later ya knw.

Well if I was stuck in a foreign airport by myself i would be feeling worried and nervous but if i had family with me i would feel safer and happier. But i would also be bored. But if I was in Christchurch wanting to go there i wouldnt really mind because you could just rebook your holiday and wait.

I would feel stressed and confused. I would go to a hotel and sleep there for a night and the next day go to the airport and wait for flights.
ReplyDeleteIf I was in Christchurch I would go to the Antarctic Centre or go home and wait for a flight.

ReplyDeleteIf I was stuck in a country that I'd never been in before I would probably be worried,homesick and excited about staying longer. I wouldn't really know what to do espeacialy (did I spell that right?) if I didn't have any family with me.
ReplyDeleteIf I was stuck here I wouldn't really worry though because I live and could just go home and relax until we get a new flight to go to.

If I was stuck in another country I 's never been in before, I would be very worried {And depending on what country it was, I might feel happy about staying longer} and wondering what woudl happen.
ReplyDeleteIf I was stuck in Christchurch I would just be really disapointed, but I'd rebook the flight.

ReplyDeletei would stay where i was even if i wasn't with my family. I would contact my parents as soon as possible and hope that it worked.
If I was stranded at a foreign airport I would try to contact friends and family I would use my phone to contact them so they know where I am and that I won't be back for a while. I would then find some accomodation and enjoy staying in another country for some extra time. I I was stuck in Christchurch i would try and get a refund if they didnt give me a refund, go on fair go.
ReplyDeleteif I was stranded in a foreign airport I would probably stay and sleep in the airport waiting for my flight.
ReplyDeleteIf I was in Christchurch and couldn't go on holiday I would probably book it some other time.

ReplyDeleteMitchel
I would go to the airport and just stay there .
ReplyDeleteIf I had enough money I would book a hotel and stay but if I did not have enough money but had travel insurance I would get them to book me a hotel.
ReplyDeleteHenry
if i was stuck in a forein airport by my self i would be scared and probly sad and would try to contact my family.
ReplyDeleteif i was stuck in christ church i wouldnt worry cause we could always plane the trip some other time.:):):) aroha!!!!!!!!
If we didn't have much money we would take a train or ferry to a different
ReplyDeletecountry were the airspace was unaffected for example if we were in Holland
then we would could go to Spain and then fly from there.
If we did have money we would find a place to stay and enjoy another week of
our holiday.
