Do you think agents abroad are stupid?

My friends who operate a holiday home/letting service had a phone call this morning, from some clients arriving on BA6982 from LHR into AGP today, claiming that the flight had been cancelled and they were arriving at 22.30 via Barcelona.
This causes total havoc with staff rotas, especially on a Sunday. The
meeting/ key hand over for these people has now had to be sub-contracted as a result.

The flight details they had advised on their booking showed arrival at AGP for that flight at 11.45, which was the winter timetabled flight and not correct for today.

The tourists are obviously lying through their teeth!

BA6982 operated as normal, despite arriving in AGP 58 minutes down at 13.58. We know, because we collected people from this flight.

Why tell lies?

The subcontract has come to us. There will be a charge of €50 euro, which will be passed on AND collected, before the keys are delivered.

Will anyone else who thinks they are clever, wise up. We have computers, the internet and other sources...we know what is happening.
