supra dan Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 i booked flights to florida with flyglobespan months ago. got an email today saying the flights were cancelled and would leave 2 days later going via belfast. so i have a villa booked, car hire booked and now need to find a hotel for 2 nights. when i phoned they said sorry but you can have a refund! thanks a bunch, there are no other flights for this date except ones that take 30 hours. was looking forward to this now all 4 of us need to try to change dates at work, book hotel, car etc at our cost. i hate flyglobespan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snooze Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Unlucky, Dan I suspect that most trans-atlantic charters are going to be a struggling quite a bit at the moment.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris2o2 Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Working alongside Flyglobespan i can tell you that i will never ever fly with them . The amount of delays/cancellations and passenger complaints we hear about them is unreal . They do have some rather fine young ladys working for them though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grix Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Oh i wont argue with you there , although recently weve noticed they seem to be lowering their standards slightly KLM arent bad either Virgin are top class, I tend to either fly Premium or First class, The service you get is incredible, especially in First Class, the beds & TV's are But you pay for what you get at the end of the day, Just like anything else in this world!

supra dan Posted April 24, 2009 Author Share Posted April 24, 2009 most annoying thing is i could have booked those dates no problem at the start but now i have the inconvenience of finding a hotel, moving all our stuff etc for 2 days. the woman i spoke to didn't care just said you can a refund, thats all. never again:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
