    I emailed the promoter (gatwick airport) and the commercial manager said that there is nothing they can do as Zoom have gone into administration and no alternative will be offered.

    From looking at the terms and conditions, there's nothing else i can do :(

    That's such a shame - you'd think they would have offered you something to try and make up for it, even if it was only vouchers for duty-free or something like that.

    Hopefully the comping fairy will wave her magic wand over you again soon :A

    Aww, big thumbs down to Gatwick airport! :( (It might be worth contacting the ISP, just to check that they really have covered their backs sufficiently to not offer you another prize. There might be a way round it. If not, then at least you'll know.)

    Oh no, that's not fair :sad:. Surely, BAA could've come up with an alternative prize.

    I agree contact the ISP, Velvet Glove has included contact details in her comping guide from memory. I think they should offer you SOMETHING.

    Do you know, this has been nagging at me since I heard yesterday that I knew someone who was going to be flying with them. It must have been you that I was thinking of.

    Definitely NOT the blogger at Katie and the Kids, OK?

    Oh no!! That's damn unlucky! Maybe whoever you won the comp with will be able to arrange alternative travel. Hope so. Keep us informed!

    Edit: didn't see your post before I did mine! good luck!
