What actually happened

The plans given during the last post did not happen the way they were planned. Here's what actually happened.

We did get to Venice's Marco Polo Airport around midnight. There were no flights going out at that time. There was no representative from ClickAir or from Iberia to tell us what we needed to do. No one we talked to had any clue about our situation. The first flight the next morning for Iberia was at 8am, so we decided we would go to the airport at 6am to talk to someone at the counter. The only people around at midnight were security guards. We found a hotel [at 130 euros a night] and slept for a few hours. Then we went back to the airport and got onto a 9am flight for Barcelona.
So we got into our hotel in Barcelona on Tuesday, October 6th around 1pm when we should have been there over twenty four hours before that.

We are currently getting our money back for the hotel, etc. I am highly disappointed in both ClickAir and Iberia and will fly neither of them again. We were stranded in the middle of the night at a point in between our start and our destination with nothing. No word when we would get on a plane, no explanations, no lodgings, no food, no nothing.
