Had a go around on an Easyjet to Innsbruck once. Really low cloud and we were descending and descending not able to see anything, and with no ILS they obviously had some altitude cut off for the go around, just as they shoved the throttles full we dropped out below the cloud. Boo. Ended up diverting to Munich and then a long coach transfer back to Innsbruck airport. Missed half a day's skiing.
I have no idea what it is but apparently pilots have to do an extra qualification before they are allowed to fly into Innsbruck.
