Aegean / H4U Go Bust

[xxbilleigh-joxx]

If they know that lots of people are losing their holidays and will be desperate to re-book, why not lay on an extra flight or 2 with decent priced seats? Surely that would make them more money than a handful of people paying inflamed prices.

Anyway, on a lighter note, I think I may have the answer to the gap in the market.
I think Scunner should step in there and fill it.

 RIGHT! ALL IN FAVOUR SAY AYE................

Hmmm let me just nip over to Ebay and buy a 737 or ten

There is a company who let you private charter their planes (big ones). I contacted them last year .... and they never replied!

Personally I think it could work but maybe they had other ideas?

Here's one:

I assume in chartering one you would need to accept payment for individual seats by credit and debit card - so you would need to either use a card payment company or cover the entire risk by pledging up your money up front. So a 737 has around 190 seats, say average one way cost £150, we would have to offer up £28,500 to cover the risk of everyone paying £150 all by credit card - and then stand to make only £28,500 less the cost of the charter.

Should the plane fly half full, we're finished! If the plane flies full, we are heavily overdrawn till we get our £28,500 surety back. Not the most attractive business to enter eh

We could always get the ladies of the Forum to do the food .

Jacqui can buy the supplies, she gets everything 1/2 price or less, probably even get a deal done with BP for the avgas!

Gosh - you will never be an entrepreneur thingy - you forgot the catering 150 drinks at £15 (times 3 or 4 if we turn the aircon off - that also saves money) - then the food - then the duty free - then our percentage of the sales at Dalaman - then we can do a RyanAir and charge for the loos - and we could call it RypEaz - got a nice continental sound to it.

Ps Oh we could have a collection for the WWF and pocket that as our tips

Pps Speaking as one who is trying claim £994 back
