OK the headline was a bit OTT but i can categorise them all if i like.
Booked a flight way back in Feb. from Manchester to Miami for myself , swmbo n the sprog with American Airlines because they offered a direct flight, received an e-mail asking me to call them and hey presto! flight re -routed via Boston adding on another 5 hours in transit both ways.
Complaining was met with the usual "this happens all the time,airline procedure" bollox and then they offered me cancellation VOUCHERS knowing full well i would have no other option than to stick withthem.
I m pretty sure that this must happen often but i assumed it would only happen to a flight that wasn t full whereas this one has been full since about july!!
Cant even drink the bar dry on the Transatlantic flight as they probably wouldnt let me board the internal one.
Woooh , feel better now
