Flybe tickets help

Options
Hi I’m looking for some advice on what to do about the imminent Flybe administration news? I have flights booked for July to Paris with my little boy (for Disney) and the ticket says this particular flight is operated by Air France. I am wondering if there is any chance my tickets will still be valid and Air France might honour them as this flight will still depart. The prices for rebooking with Air France direct or with other airlines is more than double the price I paid. Does anyone have any advice? Thanks

    Hello,
    I have made 2 bookings through Virgin Atlantic which are flights operated by Flybe. If they go bust what will Virgin Atlantic do as my contract is with them?

    According to the BBC, anyway.

    BBC News - Flybe 'set to collapse within hours' https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-51746564

    Ask them.  I doubt anyone here would know unless they're in Virgin Atlantic management.

    Seen an image on Twitter of an impounded plane at GLA. Looks like they have gone. 

    They may want to take the booking engine offline on the website then....

    If Blue Islands aren't able to fulfil the service you've paid for - which is the flight to Guernsey - then they will have to refund you.

    Also another impounded FlyBe aircraft at MAN.  Notice of Detention stuck on G-ECOI door and an airfield tractor parked behind the tail.

    The GLA one seems to be G-JECP. Detention Notice served by the airport.

    With Blue Island reliance on the FlyBe booking portal it will be interesting how they extricate themselves from this mess.

    Your contract is with Flybe so I suspect you'll have to re-book.
