Mr and Mrs Cross were going to Portugal for a short mid-winter break. The journey to the airport took exactly 45 minutes and as the flight was at 5.15 am, and they had to check in at least one hour before departure, they arranged for a taxi to pick them up at 3.15 am. The taxi was late and they did not arrive at the airport until 50 minutes before the scheduled departure time. When they arrived at the airport they found that the flight was delayed because of a fault in the aircraft. The flight eventually left at 6.40 am and arrived in Faro, Portugal at 9.30 am. It is also known that: Because their luggage exceeded the weight allowance a surcharge of £22 had to be paid. While waiting to depart Mr and Mrs Cross were provided with complimentary coffee and doughnuts in the Airport Cafe. The couple had hired a small three-door car for the period of their stay in Portugal. Because of a medical condition Mr Cross does not drive. The hotel in which the couple were staying was close to the sea front.
