Laravel4 + Iron io: How to send mail using Mail::queue? - php

Question

I have a laravel app with a form that when it is submitted will send a mail.
The mail configuration is working properly since the mail is received.
But since the process was quite slow i decided to use Queue.
I have set up Iron mq account and set it up on Laravel4.
So instead of Mail::send i switch to Mail::queue. Here is the code:
return \Mail::queue($this->view, $this->data, function($message) use($self)
{
$message->to($self->email, $self->to)->subject($self->subject);
});
And in the routes there is simply:
Route::post('booking', 'HomeController#booking');
Route::post('rezervesana', 'HomeController#booking'); // This is for the latvian version
When i submit the form, the queue is received in Iron mq dashboard and apparently fired.
But no mail is received..
If instead i do something like this:
Route::post('booking', function()
{
return Queue::marshal();
});
Then magically it will work in the latvian version (rezervesana) but of course than the english version page does not even open anymore..
So I am quite confused.
The question is: How can I send properly a mail using Mail::queue and how to deal with it in the routes?
I think that the code regarding the Mail::queue is correct, what is wrong can be in routes.
So the real question can be: How I have to set up the routes to make queue working properly?
Which is the proper place for Queue::marshal?
Thank you guys!
Sorry if it is confused.
Hope you can clarify it to me!

I've used SQS before but not Iron, maybe you should use this?
Route::post('booking', array('before'=>'csrf', 'uses'=>'HomeController#booking'));
