Any company worth their salt would book you a flight home from a company event or a hotel until a flight was available. In fact, in the national company I work for in my J-O-B, I have a company credit card so I'd be able to use that and then explain the situation after if I couldn't get hold of anyone to advise a better option.
Does anyone know how much the plane ticket would have cost? Surely Yawn could have covered it with her six figure income or whatever it is she claims to have rather than crying and falling to pieces?! Even if then making a complaint and claiming it back later from Virgin or Forever?
