Aegean / H4U Go Bust

[lynne]

There are more updates now on the ATOL site but I'm on firefox and the links won't open.  There is a list of days which should be able to open but I can't!


Just to add - I'm looking at the comments on Twitter and I suspect there is a problem with "flight only" bookings coming back.  

Having read these, Sue - you may well be stuck!

That should cheer her up no end Lynne

Sue I know its a week before you want to come back but Fly T/C have flights on Mon 22 Aug for 173 Euros.
I would be tempted to sit tight for a week or so. After 2 weeks of H4U going bust most passengers will be home and you may find that things settle down price wise. At the moment the airlines are doing what they do best. Cashing in on peoples misfortune.

Beware when booking 1 ways from T/C I booked some last week, they were priced in Euros. When I came to pay it gave me a choice of paying in £864 or 944 Euros. After a quick dabble on an online currency converter I found that 944 Euros was only about £835 so I paid in Euros.
On my statement Barclaycard have charged me £23 conversion commission [!]
I Should have paid with my Nationwide Visa.

What a total shambles...

which airport is sue mac flying back to[?]

[sue mac]

hopefully Manchester! ))  Have decided to wait until a couple of days before hand and then ring to find out if our names are on the passenger li8st for any flights going out that day. if not, will have to resign myself to a further few days out here and sit tight for pri8ces to reduce, which like you say, may well do by then. am waiting for guy on twitter to get back to me, as he seems to be the only person with whom I havve any personal contact:(

Hi Sue I was booked on a flight this week to Gatwick and also contacted the person on Twitter and he came back with bad news, he said they are NOT honouring flight only and we have to make our own way back.  We have been looking at alternative flights.  We are going to call the number again today just to make sure though.  Good luck

[sue mac]

hi michelle, i think you spoke to me on twitter today! my sister in law has just rung and has spoken to a guy called curtis, who assures her that ALL flights are going to be honoured, and to check website for what dates etc they will change to. I give up! good luck!!! I am going to wait until a couple of days before hand and go from there when hopefully they will have reduced

Hi Sue, Each time I phone I get a different response...lol.  But have check our date (11th) online and they are flying it to Manchester instead of Gatwick then coaching us down to Gatwick.  Don't fancy that with a two year old 7hr 40 mins on a coach?? So Daniel at CAA said I could make other arrangements and claim.  So we have rebooked!!

Don't know how relevant but while our Jo was waiting to fly yesterday she saw Onur Air aircraft activity at Manchester.
