if you paid by card, you should be covered, should you get ripped off, however it still would be inconvienient if you had no flight

i did that once in Hamburg, was let onto a Birmingham flight instead of the Hathrow bound one, fortunately someone else had the same seat so a disaster was averted. I know I had been drinking perhaps a little too much but how come the BA gate staff let me on, they certainly werent doing their job properly.

We booked direct with Cathay and flew there this August. I flew a week after my wife and they nearly cocked up my connection in HK.On the way home they could not find my reservation details from PI to HK, and when we flew from HK to London they had the seat reservations for wife 1 and 2 but not me. I had to sit apart from them with 2 very pretty girls 14 rows away, pure agony.
Just making the point that booking direct doesn`t always guarantee the best service.
The purser did try to make it up to me with 2 bottles of wine from first class, it worked!

Well I have checked online and entered my ticket number it says confirmed. But to be on the safe side I might phone KLM just to make sure.:xxgrinning--00xx3:

I always fly to Phils with Cathay booking with crystal travel....I have flown to Phils at least 12 times always with Cathay without ever encountering any problems & I shall continue to do so :xxgrinning--00xx3:

I dont blame you steve. Stick to the companies you are confident with. I just went on the KLM website to check my booking. I entered my number and it said the Ticket had been cancelled.:hubbahubba:. Anyway after a few phone calls they confirmed my booking.:doh

Before flying with a relatively unknown airline I'd check their safety record before booking. I think one of the Chinese airlines has one of the worst safety records in the world but I don't think it's China Airways.

No worries.

It's been a few years since I passed this one bobbing about in the harbour when on my way to work. :biggrin:

Unfortunately things didn't get much better at the new airport (that I helped to build) :omg:

The approach to the new airport is just as thrilling as the old one only slightly different. Instead of waving to people in their flats just a few wing lengths away as you arrive or depart you now seem in danger of scraping the tops of the surrounding mountains covered in cloud.
Still enjoy HGK though.:wink:
