não lhe é permitido embarcar Explanation: That's what it means :-) Good luck! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 mins (2005-01-10 20:07:00 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The meaning is that she got knocked back when having a valid ticket to board and as such the Airline gave her a voucher. Happens all the time, Airlines overbook on purpose knowing that some of the passengers won\'t turn up. Sometimes, however, everyone does turn up and someone gets stuck! Happened to me a couple of times :-) |
