JPK Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 I woke up this morning with a email from KLM about my May trip, they have partial rebooked some of the legs of my trip😂. They have booked me on flights from Amsterdam to Bangkok on the way out, no idea how they thought I would get to Amsterdam from Glasgow. On my return flight home from Bangkok they have missed out the Bangkok part of the journey and booked me on a flight from Amsterdam to Glasgow😂.I Spent over a hour on the phone with a guy who was trying to book me on flights so I could catch the 2 flights they rebooked. Luckily my bank got back in touch today and I had to send some more screenshots from KLM cancelling my original flights, they said the money should be back in my account next week😎 I still think they have no chance of flying people anywhere next month. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're booked for June, though doubt we'll go anyway, even if it was still going. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominic Raab said today that the current social distancing measures don't allow for summer holidays. Encouraged people not to book any. 😒 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking a 10 minute Covid test before you board a flight. From the article,The “quick blood test” was carried out in the group check-in area with results available within ten minutes. They don't specify in the article, but pretty sure that's a test for China Virus antibodies. That means they're only testing to see if someone had the virus, not if they're currently infected. Not sure what Emirates is trying to achieve, other than "we're doing something, even though it's useless" publicity stunt. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPK Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Ive got a few trips booked this year, I was thinking to myself I’d be lucky if I got over for my December trip, that’s only 7 months away. KLM must realise that no flights will be flying in 4 weeks time, it’s crazy they are trying to rebook people’s flights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KLM are still flying in and out of both BKK and the UK, so if you can satisfy entry requirements they'll take you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
