Two out of our six flights from Frankfurt -Chania/Crete - Frankfurt were cancelled and we had a hard time to rebook our flights, queue in long lines for a new hotel accommodation, etc.<BR/><BR/>When we returned I sent a report to the German branch office in Frankfurt and it was dealt with in a very professional way. I got a response very quickly and we also got partially reimbursed a week later. <BR/>More about this here:<BR/>http://www.maria-shipley.de/index.php/category/travel-log/crete/<BR/><BR/>But the time in between (it took two days trying to reach someone at the Crete airport) stays unforgettable as well as the big amount they reimbursed...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28059582.post-26308452115693785952008-11-10T15:40:00.000+00:002008-11-10T15:40:00.000+00:00Olympic airlines and Tony Little are useless.

I was told by the Greek reservations staff to buy another ticket and then I could phone back and get a refund. When I phoned back guess what - they would only refund the taxes. I then contacted customer services in the UK but Tony Little wouldn't go against OA Greece's decision. I have now got the CAA to investigate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28059582.post-6242736833224464562008-11-04T23:13:00.000+00:002008-11-04T23:13:00.000+00:00To 'anonymous'.

Were you ring from a mobile. 0871 is not technically a premium rae number but is made ridiculously expensive by the mobile networks. They double (normally treble in reality the real cost to dial these numbers. There is no reason for them to do so it is pure profiteering. There has been a lot of press about the companies using 0871 etc being wrong but the reality is the mobile networks are the ones ripping everybody off as the regulator has not regined them in on the blatant rip off. Maybe because the government charged the mobile networks ridiculous sums for the 3g licences and therefore letting them get away with these excessive charges as a kind of payback perhaps I'm being cynical! although it is true I believe that when the EU wanted the mobile networks to reduce the roaming charges while you were abroad, our lovely goverment came down on the side of the networks rather than us consumers!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
