    If you have the locator number you should be able to log on using that and change the flights. If the flight was cancelled it will be eligble for free transfer and that will become apparent when you go to rebook.

    Rather a couple of days in a Greek airport than Iceleand in my opinion.
    I've only just looked at pictures

    These are pretty incredible.

    No matter how much technology advances, we will always be at the mercy of Mother Earth. Or is it now Person Earth?

    I tried this but I had already checked in and that is not an option.
    Always overestimating...

    How did you go about getting your refund? I've emailed them at the refunds address they specify but have heard nothing back and it's been two days. Don't fancy ringing up the £1 per minute 'helpline'!

    sorry only back after mammoth journeys on the boat back and forth. I rang the flybe customer number at 10p a minute and they just said no worries and said it would take 7-10 working days to credit the card I had used.

    but as the flights were cancelled and nothing is flying I can't see any problem.

  • I am supposed to be flying with Flybe from Manchester to Hannover early Friday morning. To be honest, I cant see it happening, but have I got to wait until Flybe actually cancel the flight before I can apply for a refund, or can I throw the towel in now and ask for my cash back?

    Good old mother nature eh? Reminding us that she still holds the cards!

    You might be right - impression is being given of business as usual tomorrow but take a look at the ash map for 12.00 on Tuesday 20th. http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/aviation/vaac/data/VAG_1271698103.png (bottom right)

    RTE news has reported that all airports in the Rep of Ireland will be closed between 7.00am and 1.00pm Tuesday 4th May. Anything taking off or landing between those times will probably be cancelled.
