Airline Hell

Re: Airline Hell

dont know why that that is pretty fucking funny

If she's "de-packaged" her hol to get it cheaper she probably isn't coverved on her insurance either. Unlucky if she did.

Hopefully she booked through a travel agent and took their insurance though. If she did she's got a far better chance in getting some of her money back.

If she paid with a credit card she'll get the money back from what she paid for the flights.
What Granty has said regarding insurance may not be true, it depends on her policy entirely.
Tell her to get in touch with a major airline(not charter) like BA, Iberia etc, they will most definately be offering some sort of rate to XL(i'm presuming its them she booked with) customers as long as they can fax or Email their receipt to them.
Out of interest mate, where abouts is she, I may be able to advise you some more.

Re: Airline Hell

My mams currently stuck in Crete as she has flew with XL. Sje says its a total shambles no reps they all fucked off (do you blame them ) the phone number is just ringing out and she's running low on funds :evil:

You're right, some policies may cover her. I always take insurance with the agent though. Possibly because it's my lass

However I hear of all the shite some people end up in when trying to budget on hols. I don't know why they don't just pay that little bit extra for the security.

Yeah, I sell holidays for British Airways mate.
Most of the free insurances you get with credit cards etc are gash. Its best to go with a decent broker.

A woman at work booked the whole holiday through them, was meant to be going to Egypt next month. She's been ringing about all day trying to arrange a new holiday etc whilst trying to make sure she gets her money back.

The bank and Inland Revenue are always the first to be paid by the creditors.

The likely hood of getting a full refund if you paid by cash is pretty slim id imagine. Credit card will be fine.

She paid by card, it's just the hassle of trying to get it all refunded etc and sort out a new holiday for the same period and work when the holidays next month.

as long as klm is ok till the 14th of october.........

They'll be fine. Its charter airlines and low cost ones that'll go down the pan.

my mam and dad used xl to go to greece every year this who thing is a shambles

is there a possibility that jet2 and easyjet could go this way then ?

i rely on jet2 to get to the house in spain
