Stuck in Lanzarote and paying accommodation - Monarch grrr!

Sorry, have you not been reading this forum for the past few days?Just heard a spokesman say that the EU airlines are obliged to re-schedule your flight,provide you with accommodtion and refreshment, (did not say 'meals') on Working Lunch they are saying they have a duty of care to look after you, but it can be a blanket at an airport, depends on the airline and refreshments , no gaurantees it will be the hotel you have been staying in....BA have announced they will waive carpark charges for people delayed abroad...The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.0 -
Yes, but thought latest about the carparking might be of help to someone...obviously not you...sorry if I've upset you, and my posts are directed specifically to CM and anyone else that might find it useful, if you're annoyed by them , ignore them.Sorry, have you not been reading this forum for the past few days?
Coupon Mad is a buddy of mine from another forum and is quite distressed, we are trying to help her with as much info as possible....the other Forum I refer too is ever so friendly....0 -
Coupon Mad, so sorry to hear you are stuck and the costs etc. I dont really have anything useful to add to this thread but found it via the printables thread. Hope things get moving with getting home now it seems things are settling down.
Im sure once home, the costs will get sorted somehow fingers crossed x
Incidentally my boss'es brother is stuck in florida with his family but sadly their father died suddenly last monday and he really needs to get back as the funeral is scheduled for this friday.
Take care CM, talk soon, its been a while.0 -

That won't be happening now, Skynews & BBCnews are both stating London airports will remain closed tomorrow. Scotland and some Midlands airports will open but most likely only for a few hours as the new ash cloud moves in0 -
Even worse now. We had been booked on the next available flight on 27th April.
Then we phoned up, as we do each day, to be offered a flight today (an extra repatriation flight to Birmingham, mainly laid on I think for Cosmos package people). We need to get to Gatwick but accepted it of course.
It was cancelled when we got our family to the Airport. No Crew at Brum to fly the plane. No re-schedule known, told to contact Monarch for new flight but 1st available now 29th April. We have booked it and will ring each day for anything sooner that becomes available (due to cancellations). So in accepting this cancelled repat flight we lost our 27th April flight.
People have got home on a Manchester flight today but they have only been stranded a day. We have been stranded since 15th April. There is NO attempt to deal first with those stranded longest, as far as flight-only customers are concerned.
How can they do this?PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

There never is. The logistics of transferring bookings from those with seats to those waiting and dealing with the fall out (including a legal right to compensation as well as care) from those with booked seats watching "their" plane depart would be a nightmare.
Are there no flights to mainland Spain? With the airspace now open, it may be possible to get a connecting flight home.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.

My BIL is stuck (working) in the US but has a contact to arranges all flights for a very large company. They have both checked and no, there are no flights for less than 700GBP each. We have 4 children, can´t afford this at all. BIL has leant us money to pay our hotel bill here so far.
At the Airport today, you can´t buy a flight from another Airline.
Just heard from someone else who was booked on the same flight that got cancelled. They saw people blag their way onto a Manchester flight by flashing the right flight number just written down on a piece of paper (which is all you get over the phone from Monarch). We may be reduced to doing this tomorrow.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
