Chinese Style Airline Customer Service

The Journey from Bangkok was cool and uneventful, The Emirates flight was fine and we landed on time, I found transfer desk, got my ticket and had my check on bag retagged, then boarded the slightly delayed flight from Hong Kong to Shanghai about 830pm.

ThomsonFly - Extra Legroom May Not Mean Extra Legroom

This post is more about how stupid policies as a merchant can lose you far more than what you think, bascially ThomsonFly are going to lose around £20,000 over the next few years due to not refunding me £40 for something I didn’t get, So if you are a merchant you may want to have a rethink […]
