    If it had been me I would have contacted the ISA (I think that's what it is called) who resolve disputes like this.
    2 flights and 2 nights in a hotel are worth much more than a hotel upgrade and one extra night.
    Who pays for the extra day's spending??
    Good luck anyway, we are going to Amsterdam in August - if you like chinese food go to the floating Sea Palace restaurant not far from Central Station- delicious!

    I agree with your point but at least the OP is happy with the result!

    Sorry to hear about your problem...but you have called in the right people, although they do have limited powers they do get results, I was having a dispute with Comet head office and getting no where, called trading standards who said they would look into it, phoned comet head office told them trading standards involved, problem solved same day. Good luck I hope you have a favourable outcome, i would take it all the way if I was you, please keep us informed.

    I wished the buck stopped here as I could use a few.

    Why do Americans sing "Take me out to the ball game" when they
    are already there?

    Well I got back from the weekend in Amsterdam today and it was wonderful. As an apology they upgraded us to an executive suite at the Hilton Hotel for 3 nights, bought in complimentary vintage champagne and strawberries every evening and a pizza on the last night. The break was out of this world and we wouldnt have been able to afford to go on a luxury weekend like that unless we won it. I'm still floating on air and cant believe how lovely it all was.

    So glad you enjoyed the break black-saturn. And happy that they upgraded your stay as well. Well done!
    And if I really were an angel, I'd float over your bed
    Each night a different dream of me I'd plant inside your head
    And if I were an angel, I tell you what I'd do
    I'd appear in a vision and I'd give my wings to you

    Well, I have just read this from the beginning. How unbelieveable! I cannot believe that someone would write you you and tell you that it has all been cancelled in such a way! But I am so glad that you got a good outcome and it seems that they made up for it (although they are still hideous!). So, did they apologise formally?

    Glad you had a great break - sounds wonderful!
    Money money money!

    Thanks everyone. Yeh I did have a great time and I don't think any holiday is now going to top that one.
