    Aww, crap. :( I was also going to suggest contacting the comp organisers to see if they can offer you anything else. Often comps say something like 'if the original prize isn't available, we will offer you an alternative prize of equal or greater value'. Hope you get something sorted.

    I really hope they can offer an alternative, that's terrible news. I hope you get a much bigger and better prize soon!

    Zoom Airlines sincerely regrets to advise its customers that it has suspended operations with effect from 19:00 hrs on Thursday 28 August 2008. Both Zoom Airlines Inc and Zoom Airlines Ltd, the Canadian and UK airlines, have started administration proceedings in their home countries.

    You don't mention who you won the flights from.

    If it is not Zoom, even if the flights were directly donated by Zoom for promotional purposes, then they just might be able and willing to do something for you.

    So... who was it?

  • oh no thats really bad. I saw about this on GMTV this morning, feel so sorry for all the people affected.

    Really hope the competion organisers do something for you as you must be so disappointed xxxx.
    Thanks to all posters and contributers :beer:
  • I was on the DIBB yesterday when rumblings were beginning about zoom going under. There were people who had only booked flights the day before and I feel so sorry for them and hope they can salvage their holidays.

    I agree with rwgray in wondering whether the company who ran the competition may offer you something in consolation? Nothing ventured, nothing gained!

    Good luck.
    But there are dreams that cannot be,and there are storms we cannot weather!
