PENCO
In thirty years in this business this is the first time that this has happend to me so I am only singleling out the airline that has caused me the problem.
I for personal reasons I needed to get home and they have caused me a lot of extra expence and personal distress purely because of their greed in trying to sell seats twice.
To compound this they try to rip me off over the mandatory compensation.
If that is not a good enough reason to flag up these practices I don't know what is, just because a lot of other Arline's do it there is no reason for Easyjet to do it, that part of your post is like saying it is OK to steal a car just because a lot of other people do it.
This time Easyjet did the crime and they have got caught and are not going to get away with it, bumping me off the aircraft was bad enough but to compound the error by ripping me off over the compensation............ Well that just made it personal !
