    the Fa Cup this year. They are in no trouble at all ....at the moment. Being a charter company they are far more flexible in scrapping routesat a moments notice that scheduled carriers and their overheads are minimal comparedto many. one of the first signs of a company struggling to to pull the plug on staff training. in the last couple of months MyTravel have increased dramatically the number of their workers starting Part 66 or FdEng courses.

    A lot of websites are set up to keep your price enquiry in the system for a certain period of time so that when you or others try the same flight it has already you down as a "potential" passenger and if necessary ticks over to the next price band depending on how many seats have been sold (actual or imaginary)

    Just like XL and Zoom.

    Have a great trip, I know you are fit to burst!!!
    The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.

    Confused low cost with charter?
    Zoom were a scheduled airline and XL (and its various offshoots) operated parts as a charter and parts as a scheduled carrier.

    Greetings from the free WiFi area in Main Street Station. I won't be here for long, there is a slot tournament going on and the nose is deafening!!!

    Having a great time. The weather is much cooler than last year at this time, but we're having fun anyway. Seeing Tom Jones tonight, should be interesting. (Not my choice)

    I'll do a report when I get back.

    glad you are having a good time, Pebbles!

    And have a great trip, mooky.

    Stoneman - glad they sorted it out for you...really good to hear that they didn't give you too much hassle for an itinerary that actually works!
    Does remembering a time that a certain degree of personal responsibility was more or less standard means that I am officially old?

    unless you know differently.... still operating......and not British, so why mention them? ...might as well say Air France and their dodgy subsidies.

    I can help you out by naming a few charter companies that have gone bust if you really want. Or, if you would rather have another guess ....third time lucky???
