Revenge is sweet
Two weeks ago I flew on a very Big Airline from London to the very near continent. I paid GBP445 for a business class ticket.
Enroute, my suitcase was broken and written off.
The process for handling this was awful, basically "nothing we can do other than send a replacement (inferior type, no other choice) to your house within 5 days."
Considering I was due to fly back in two days, this was not very helpful, especially when I asked how I could get my possessions home wiht a broken suitcase "Ah, you can check them in and we'll ask you to sign a limited release." Gee thanks, only paid GBP445 for this "service."
Well today was the first day I could so something practical about it, since I tend to use this big airline for long haul travel too.
I've just booked a full fare J class ticket to the south of the USA - with another airline.
In the bigger scheme of things it means little, but it really made me feel better.
And guess what, I won't be booking to many more european tickets with them either.
In the past three years, FQTVs have endured three sets of industrial action and limited catering for a ridiculously long period of time.
Well, enough is enough.
