Anyone else been in Rio this year?
I was glad I was sitting down when I opened the e-mails, and not drinking coffee either! Just opened the invoice for Rio SBGL operation with a 604. They have charged 12000 for 4 day´s parking......roughly 400 for a toilet service, 320 for water (could have just filled it with the best whiskey!) and "misc 3rd party services of 4000 USD....."
I am asking for all supporting invoices, but even if they can provide these, it is so crazy, that I would probably boycot anything Brazilian and certainly any flights where I have a choice regarding tech stops.
Just curious if anyone else has got their invoices and been equally floored......
The thinking seems to be, Let´s really screw these people while we have a chance, rather than showcasing Brazil for future development, etc.
We were there all of 4 days and at this point, if I never see the country again, it will be too soon.
Input?
PS Comments about "you should have asked for projected charges in advance" are not interesting and don´t really help. The client wants to go, we go.....I don´t change that aspect. Just wondered if this was what everyone experienced, or was our handler the worst of the lot!
