EC Regulation 261/2004 -dont mean sh*t

[RIJ8631]

Anyone seen this at an airport before? if you do come across it -its worth S.F.A

This is the Regulation that you get fogged of with ,when your budget airline does what the hell it likes -ie doesnt arrive, takeoff ,cancel,etc your flight.

This is the Regulation that COMPENSATES you for the inconvience that the budget airline has cost you - or that is SUPPOSED TO, off course until you try to make a claim -then you really find out that this threads title is accurate.

On a recent trip to Rome my GLOBESPAN flight was delayed for approx 6hours,

thereby arriving in Rome airport at 2am instead of 8pm-only to find that, there is no Globespan Representive (all tucked up in their beds-where I should have been ), no public transport operating at this godawful time and left with no option but to take a private cab to central Rome. Only to find that the hotel also operate a late checkin fee !!!

In all it cost me an additinal £80 to fly a low cost airline + a lot of hanging about in airports etc.

But EC Regulation 261/2004 , I was told by airline staff, would come to my rescue and compensate me for GLOBESPANS cockup - NO A HOPE IN HELL

 

So all you merry travellers about to set out on your summer holidays BEWARE !!! - EC Regulation 261/2004 -dont mean sh*t
