Acknowledgement arrived in the post today from ABTA, I have 14 days to wait for a decision.<br /><br />James - I was told from the start of the whole thing in the airport that I'd have to buy a new ticket. Thank god I have parents who could be woken up at 3:30am and could lend me the cash for it.<br /><br />Unbearable - Haha. Well, now you mention it, the thought of getting on a plane does give me the shudders and its nothing to do with flying. It's fear of NOT flying. Would that work?<br /><br />Around - Oh, I will. Or maybe I'll let ABTA do it.<br /><br />Ellie - Well spotted. And the similarities don't end there. More irritating, probably. <br /><br />Perp - Nope, the whole thing is dragging into it's second month. You'd think it would be easier than this, no?<br /><br />Not Twitter - I love the 'No return garanteed' sign idea. Russell Square branch, here I come.Please Don't Eat With Your Mouth Openhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09246896544080806179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30034378.post-38673882844755646452010-09-19T23:55:53.543+01:002010-09-19T23:55:53.543+01:00What about taking a placard down some Saturday? &q...What about taking a placard down some Saturday?

I'd say you've been through enough emotional trauma to deserve compensation for your suffering. Show STA who they're dealing with. Teach 'em a lesson.

Think a lot of companies believe that we (yep, us plebs) will too easily give up if our initial complaint is ignored and so do sod all after receiving our letter/fax/e-mail of complaint. Let's hope ABTA bend 'em over and take 'em right royally up their unprofessional catflaps.London Lass Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05585548733858304214noreply@blogger.com
