The negative excuse is coming out of your mind ????♂️????. Where are you reading in my comments anything negative? Why are you being hostile? Is English not your first language? Google translate will help you.. If you're a mind reader you don't belong here, it's obvious this mind reading skill you have has failed otherwise you'd be another Musk.

Flights were stopped for 2 years with covid. I got free hotel and taxi when my flight was cancelled. But Im an adult not a 54yo manchild. Somewhat different, I would suggest - as was my situation when the Yellow Shirts blockaded Suvarnabhumi airport. This guy was the victim of SCOOT booking a flight that they never intended to honour. In the current climate a refund was never going to cover inflated flight costs. He was badly treated and posted his account as a warning to others. He wasn't all "woe is me", he didn't set up a go fund me page - he took the cost on the chin but recognised how much worse it was for a family of four in the same situation. SCOOT are the culprit here, not the OP. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is common knowledge. If people have never travelled before maybe ask someone who has the best way to book. Airlines merge flights all the time if low numbers.

It shouldn’t happen at all & airlines should not be permitted to get away with such poor treatment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thousands of flights cancelled at a moments notice and refunds taking up to 3 months! You need spare money nowadays to travel long an/or multi port flights....money to get clothes when the bag doesn't arrive...for extra flights and hotels. When covid first hit I had a return ticket with Eva air..I had to cancel and eva said it will take up to 6 months before I would be refunded..I called Master card [used to pay] and the money was paid into my account 3 days later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gknrd Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 (edited) I just left and my flight was canceled then my re-booked flight was delayed and I missed my second transfer. No problems what so ever I got on line and the airlines booked me a flight that was almost as good as my missed transfer and my canceled flight was re-booked only hours later. Not only that they told me to contact them when I returned and they would give me compensation for my inconvenience. Delta was the nicest and most personal assistance. Worth the extra money IMO.

liddelljohn Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Be very careful Booking with Qatar they code share with BA for UK part of flight, apart from BA planes being filhy, food terrible and not great inflight entertainment or service BA cancel many flights and Qatar have no influence ,on one BA flight most of us got Food poisoning and where puking and <deleted>ting ourselves silly In Qatar airport , spent 2 days in hospital, it was nasty , upsetting embarrasing etc BA could not give a Toss , still waiting for compensation from BA 11 months later . The Qatar part of journey to LOS is good its the BA part that is rubbish ,, and BA accept no responsibility , I normally travel emirates but due to emergency had to get tickets on Qatar twice last year , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
