Re: XL or bust......
Not me but the lad in IT who fly's tomorrow to furturventura (on a package holiday) is now not going on holiday.
In the space of the day he had rearranged his holiday from there to 2 days in Disney Land and 3 days in Paris. Does this mean you will now be doing NW4? Or you could book another flight so you can see your dad? |

Re: XL or bust......
Checked with Air malta,
First thing after ringing was a message to XL customer to phone this number...... Rang it and eas the recievers for XL, said the flight prolly aint valid, said contact air malta Contacted air malta again, some call centre in india, was given the XL receivers number again. Called the manchester airport desk, your flight isnt valid you need to contact XL. So! Passing the buck, but it sounds like its not valid so i aint bothering. My Dad is putting in a claim as he booked it flight only, and going to shorten my holidays with work oh well......

Re: XL or bust......
We managed to get sorted out by first choice in the end, longest 2 hrs of my life on sunday morning waiting to see if the hol was still saveable, it was and we are still going, cost us an extra £400 though, woo hoo, hope it works out though Gary, fingers crossed mate.
