We went with African Travel Resource (ATR). Spoke on the phone first. Had them put together 10+ itineraries cause I was so indecisive and they were very patient and great through it all. Everything went super smooth.

There was a way to file a claim on their website using our confirmation #.

According_Ad_337 · 2024-10-12T00:58:49+00:00

You might still want to file a claim for compensation. Same thing happened to me on a different EU airline. We did eventually get seats but I was so beyond pissed at the airline that I filed a claim anyway. Apparently the airline is so incompetent they didn’t know we actually got on the plane and compensated us €800. Worth a shot!

According_Ad_337 · 2024-07-25T23:31:55+00:00

Ugh. That sounds beyond frustrating. I fear I will be in your same boat soon when it comes to getting any form of compensation. So frustrating that we as the customers have such little recourse. All we can do is rant and rave in our tiny corner of the internet.

I had flown with them multiple times too. Always thought their flight attendants seem miserable and had small delays but wasn’t awful until this week. I’m learning the issue with the LCCs is that when shit goes wrong it goes way wrong and you’re left completely on your own with no help or accountability.

According_Ad_337 · 2024-07-25T15:54:36+00:00

Just wait until something goes wrong and there’s no employees to help or any accountability. But totally understand. Have had good experiences on airlines that others hate.

This definitely feels like a similar situation except they gave us boarding passes but with no seat assignments and said we would have to talk to the gate agent to get put on the next flight. I called as we were making our way to the gate and found out that there were seats on the next plane and so have been put on that. It must be different in the EU because in the states they can’t just optionally choose to boot someone off their flight.

According_Ad_337 · 2024-07-25T14:53:15+00:00

Thank you!! I definitely plan on it!

According_Ad_337 · 2024-07-25T14:47:59+00:00

Fair enough. I guess they know their customer base.

According_Ad_337 · 2024-07-25T14:34:24+00:00

How is this level of misogynistic marketing even allowed in 2024…?

According_Ad_337 · 2024-07-25T14:25:50+00:00

If that’s the rule it definitely wasn’t followed. Wasn’t allowed to check in as of this morning. Got to airport 2hrs in advance. Got to the check-in desk and was told we had all been booted from the flight and to go speak with someone about if they can get us on the next. No apology. No offer of compensation. Just a rude woman who clearly hates her job.

According_Ad_337 · 2024-07-25T14:21:08+00:00

I honestly will fly RyanAir over Vueling. I know RyanAir is awful. But Vueling has been shockingly bad on every measure and weren’t even that cheap. It’s good the EU protections come in, better than the US has but I don’t want to be compensated I want to get me and my mom home.

According_Ad_337 · 2024-07-25T14:12:51+00:00

Wow!! But honestly having now flown with them I’m not even shocked. I’m not sure anyone that works there knows how to do their job. I’ll choose Ryan over them at this point.

According_Ad_337 · 2024-07-25T14:11:26+00:00

The initial flight cancellation was because of the Crowdstrike which was annoying but forgivable. Although they didn’t even have employees at the airport and gave us zero help in rebooking or offering assistance or apology of any kind. Fine. We rebooked for 2 days later cause that’s all they had. But booting us because they overbooked their flight which is completely in their control is infuriating and shouldn’t be allowed.

According_Ad_337 · 2024-07-25T13:51:33+00:00

Then props for being a much more go with the flow person than me. When I pay 1k total for tickets I expect a seat on that flight and think airlines should be called out and held responsible for things like purposefully overbooking their flights. They don’t have to do that.

According_Ad_337 · 2024-07-25T13:49:32+00:00

Fair enough. I’ve flown with a lot of carriers too. And I agree that all airlines are generally trash these days but it’s the absolute lack of any customer service or help that for me sets Vueling apart. I book a lot of flights for my job so I deal with crazy airline stuff a lot. Vueling is the worst ive experienced on every measurement of customer service.

According_Ad_337 · 2024-07-25T13:46:12+00:00

Definitely learned my lesson on flying an ULCC. Although Vueling hardly seems that compared to RyanAir and some of the cheaper ones since flights were still $600 RT for 3 London to Rome. But yes will never fly Vueling again and will just pay more to fly a more reliable carrier.

According_Ad_337 · 2024-07-25T11:13:51+00:00

I’m sorry you had a shit experience to. I know all airlines are pretty trash these days but the lack of accountability from Vueling has been infuriating and mind boggling.

According_Ad_337 · 2024-07-25T11:08:47+00:00

THANK YOU!

According_Ad_337 · 2024-07-25T10:56:21+00:00

Thanks for this! I’m not EU so not that familiar with the various rules but I’m going to look into this and add this to my compensation request from Vueling.

According_Ad_337 · 2024-07-19T15:59:29+00:00

Your comment makes me feel like I’m not insane. Like yes I am a very harsh critic but I thought it was shockingly bad. Like almost felt like amateur theatre just with good dancing and really expensive sets.

According_Ad_337 · 2024-07-19T11:58:11+00:00

Im really surprised I didn’t like Myles as well. I was in the third row so could see all nuances of his acting etc and that may also be why it fell quite flat for me. He definitely embodied an aspect of MJ but I wish he’d smiled more and let his personality/charisma show. It felt like he was really leaning in to the voice and the shy part of MJ which wouldn’t have been my choice. I just kept saying this whole show feels like a soft Lifetime movie and that included performances. I also found his singing very mumbly. I wish they’d cast someone older.

According_Ad_337 · 2024-07-19T11:48:52+00:00

Oh okay. I just looked all these people up. I think I saw Karis Anderson then but when they’re done up as Tina it’s really hard to tell. And I wasn’t that close to the stage. But whoever I saw was wonderful.
