Fly BMI claim money back

I had a Fly BMI flight booked for April as I have a charity place at the Paris Marathon. I booked and paid for the flights via Expedia but did use my M&S credit card.....only last week did I then do a balance transfer to MBNA. Questions are - am I likely to be able to claim my flight cost back and if so who do I try and claim from....M&S, MBNA or Expedia??
I now cant afford any other flights so will lose my hotel costs now aswell as likely to forfeit my place :mad: :(

  • As you booked through an agent, Expedia, you should contact them, as stated in the release.

    Did Expedia offer Scheduled Airline Failure Insurance ?

    You did not pay directly with your card, so a refund that way looks highly unlikely.

    You make mention of a hotel as well. Did you book this at the same time via Expedia? If so you could well have ATOL protection.

    Expedia should be your first point of contact.
  • Thanks guys....as I thought with the credit card. Will contact Expedia first. I booked hotel and flight separately :(

    Where are you based? Perhaps we can look for alternative transport for you.
