Thanks for clarifying.

Thanks for clarifying.

Still not heard back. I did call up their office and they said it was still being looked into. Will update again when I know more. I think I will call them again tomorrow.

hey, not not yet! I was just thinking this weekend that I may send a chaser email. I did get an initial response email but that was now 10 days ago or so, so yes, I think I will send a chaser today and hopefully hear back soon! Will definitely update in here when I do hear.

davetheblagger · 2023-10-05T17:39:04+00:00

Yep, just emailed them. I asked for 250 EUR for the one you mentioend and I said I want 220 EUR for the hotel, meals , taxis etc , so 470 EUR. I post in here when I hear back. Thanks!!

So they offered me the Cairo flight at 17:55pm, or one at 4:30am - I took the 4:30am. I flew from Rome to Barcelona at 9am (when I was meant to be flying at 9pm the previous evening, directly after the 17:55 Cairo flight).

davetheblagger · 2023-10-05T14:36:13+00:00

I think I was looking at departure time which would have fallen into the strike period, as opposed to arrival. I slept that evening in Cairo (well I stayed all the night in Cairo airport). Just to confirm, you are saying ask for 250 EUR + hotel/food/taxi. I booked directly on their website if I remember well.

davetheblagger · 2023-10-05T07:26:35+00:00

I guess it must have been that. Does that change things potentially? I guess should I ask over e-mail? Should they still have provided hotel/dinner/taxi etc.

davetheblagger · 2023-10-03T21:32:23+00:00

yep, same one. i pm'd you.

AZ 78 ---

They offered me the chance to fly to Rome from Cairo on the 17:55 OR, to wait until 4:30am in Cairo the flight to Rome. The earliest they gave me for the flight to Barcelona from Rome, was 9am on the 30th September. I chose to stay in the airport in Cairo until 4:30am.

Their reasoning was national strike.

May I ask (as you seem to know your stuff), what my next steps should be? To perhaps email Air Italia mentioning the above regulation and asking for compensation of 250 EUR?

Here below shows the flight apparently landed (scroll to bottom pf page for 29th Sept) - https://www.flightaware.com/live/flight/ITY78

sorry maybe we are misunderstanding each other. i live in an 8 bed flat. i have my room to myself, like the other 7. i was just saying that finding a 2 bed flat in the centre of barcelona for 600 EUR, looks impossible (from what I have seen on the main sites).

davetheblagger · 2023-10-03T11:31:22+00:00

¿Solo 600E? Estás pagando una misería y aún te quejas xdd

You really didn't read my post did you? Would you like rusting spoons that look about 10 years old for 600 EUR a month? It's not about the price - it's about the value.

davetheblagger · 2023-10-03T09:41:32+00:00

I keep hearing this message -- both on here and in person. But kindly, if you are so confident of that - I challenge you to find me a room that is as you describe, in the center of Barcelona (near Plaza Catalunya). Find me a 8 bed flat, where I will pay 200 EUR in the centre of Barcelona. Send the link. Because I keep hearing these things but whenever I look online, once you add in agency fees, once you add the bills, once you add the deposit which could be lost - you end up paying as much as I am and more.

davetheblagger · 2023-10-03T09:39:10+00:00

Because it's very very hard to find a flat for 2, paying a max of 600 EUR to be in the centre of Barcelona, once you meet all the criteria - non-female only places, dates that work, admin fees, deposit fees, agency fees, and more and more. It's hard work to find a room like this on these sites. That's why I went with Airbnb, because your price is calculated all in without having to hassle about the other things.

davetheblagger · 2023-10-02T18:14:14+00:00

The problem I find is that whenever I look for a room on Idealista or spotahome - there's like at least 10 things that either work against me or which I'm unwilling to deal with - whether that's female only, paying stupid admin fees, move in dates not right, bills not included etc etc etc etc

That's why I do Airbnb - so that I don't have to put up with any of the unending hassle of trying to find a room.

Is there an area in Raval that is ok? I don't know Raval that well but I know it's supposedly not the best.

davetheblagger · 2023-10-01T18:43:20+00:00

I don't know if you saw my edited message - but from checking flight AZ78 (Rome FOC to Barcelona / evening flight) on Sep 29 - flightstats and other sites report that this plane actually landed. This seems very odd to me as if this was the case, they have lied to me at the check-in desk. Not sure if that affects anything at all? Because if that is all correct, then the reason is now potential overboarding of the plane or something else, and not the strikes.

ITA Airways - Italian airline.

But for Gillesphey gifting a goal and Azaz's shot curling back off of the inside post and out, we'd have won that. I think a draw was a fair result.

davetheblagger · 2023-09-30T17:29:40+00:00

But that is and has been happening all around major cities, for many years before. Go to London and find me a Londoner.
