Been trying to get through by permanantly engaged phone, to FGS since Tuesday to cancel my rescheduled, by them, flight to Boston - guess they've taken the phone off the hook - one way to avoid their pi**ed off soon to be ex customers!
I notice GSM SCOT has gone a bit quiet lately!

what an awful lot of waffle saying absolutely nothing about the problem, whilst trying to blame everyone other than GSM. Come on then , what WAS the problem?, or was it simply that the FC simply spilt a cup of coffee in the cockpit? 
.....but really all it boiled down to was a snag that could never have been foreseen and which Boeing or RR themselves could not fathom or indeed offer any solution to.

"Its my understanding that when Monarchs A330 went tech at Sanford, they brought the pax back via XL airways. Why couldn't FGS do this? or another alternative, was every seat on alternative airlines filled from JFK? Not one single seat on any airline available?????"
and MON have managed to find aircraft two weeks in a row to cover flights out of NCL over the pond - did people like Omni, North Amercian, ATA, really have nothing available stateside (not to mention any European operators who could have done it for a price....)

Would seem like Jet2 could pull the carpet out from under gms feet, at least they do try to get you home, eventually and if not to the right airport,at least they bus u home afterwards, maybe not ideal, but seems to be what customer service is about, give good service and the pax will come back, quiet why people go back to ryanair is beyond me,obviously the 'free'

Just saw Flyglobespan on the official Boeing 787 premier, cant wait for that one, hopefuly it will not be seen in Ireland or England and left all for us Scots since we are the people who appreciate the service they are trying to provide, am no trumpet for GSM but what they have done for the Scottish holidaymakers is phenomonal.
The English have too much choice when it comes to air travel and are too critical.
Go GSM!

They won't be around to get the 787 unless they get their act together very quickly. I sure as Hell wouldn't fly long haul with them at the minute.
I thought the days of us Scots blaming the English for everything were gone....."too much choice" ! Now that IS funny!

Whats gone wrong this week? All the Uk to YHM flights seem to have gone pear shaped. Huge delays, Cancellations and re routes via Iceland. Looks like another shambles.

We've been told we can re-book onto the Cape Town route which the SA Govt have assured GSM will be OK.
Interested to see the CPT route has also been changed to include Economy Premium and Business classes only, which could indicate a plane change.
Do we stick with GSM, or bail out to a bigger operator?

Air France / KLM have some good fares for MAN JNB in March '08, roughly about £520 in Y.
I hate to put someone off any direct flight out of MAN, but after my own experiences on the CPT run, I'll never touch Globespan again
On their recent performance, to book for travel 8 months into the future is giving them a helluva long time for something to go t1ts up. I'd play safe and look elsewhere whilst alternative fares are low-ish.
