Been told by the flight company reps, of Fly be in Belfast City airport that we can’t proceed to flight to Geneva with ID cards we need passports. We been turned back. We are from Lithuania and we were taking holiday to Geneva and then transfer to France for ski holiday through the skidirect.com. At the check in we was told that we have to use passports not ID cards as they are not in EU and ID cards not accepted. So we had 1 hour to sort this out. I was sure we can use ID cards as when I made a payment is says need to be valid ID card or a passport. From faces we saw was sure they not sure about that them self’s. But they told us to get passports or we will loose flight. So I and other friend had to head back long way home on M1 and try to get in time but that was impossible even for 007 Bond.
2 other friends stayed at the airport to wait for us and with other friend we made grand theft Auto on roads of Belfast. 120miles and hour all the way lets say 40 miles there and back, please keep in mind Belfast city and traffic as it was midday. And drop of in one house and other house to get passports.
On the way towards home we been on the phone with Fly be and I was asking could we call them on the way back with the details they need for check in our luggage. But they told they need passports not details and if we not make in time we will miss flight.
So we were on the age to kill someone or kill ourselves in any time. And I was sure that we don’t need the passports.
Lucky enough of playing chickens and GTO and a good car 2010 we was heading back to Belfast city.
we been 56min from time given and received call from our couples that Fly be confirmed that this is they mistake and that we could fly with ID cards no problem. These stupid people didn’t knew that Switzerland is in Schengen country list and you can fly there as in other EU countries.
After this call we were already in airport car park. Lucky all live. FLY be staff looked very relieved that we back safe and our luggage was already checked in without even need our ID cards or passports. It was just formal for printing out tickets.
All holiday was stressed out and could not feed holiday at all.
If anyone could make since out of this or help what could I do against the FLY be of this misinformation related to our Origin and they knowledge of what the should know in the first place.
Do I have a right to make a claim against them or to suit them for something as this ruin all our party holiday?

hi i recently flew from LA to London with a connecting flight in JFK. i went american airlines form LA to JFK and then continued on with virgin atlantic. i reached JFK at 10pm (my connecting flight was at 11:25pm), it took about 20 minutes to move from terminal 8 to terminal 4. upon arriving at terminal 4, i asked the man at the virgin help desk where i could get my boarding pass, as i hadn’t been issued one in LA. he told me that i hadn’t been checked all the way through by the people at the american airlines desk in LA, and all though i was an hour and 5 minutes earlier than take off he told me i would not be able to check in and that i would have to wait for a flight the following day. i ended up having to book a hotel for the night. upon reaching london, my bags were still in JFK and i had to fill out a form to have them delivered. (it took two days for my bags to be delivered) when i finally got my bags, the one had been ripped open and then taped up (asuming that there was an inspection done on my luggage.) the bag is impossible to use again due to the damage, and although it was taped there were many open gaps on the bag. later while inspecting i found that i was missing a shoe (yes one shoe, the pair cost about 140$ us), a phillips electrical shaver costing about 200 GB pounds, and a pair of sunglasses costing about 200$.
will i be compensated for my missing items, and damaged luggage.
and what are the chances i can be compensated for the trouble of my flights, the wait and the hotel booking, i’m a frequent flyer and this is the first time i have ever not been checked all the way through, even when flying domestic before going international.

Also how will she push the trolley outside as well. I will be obviously standing outside in thw waiting area and will be fine from there but wondering if there;s any support or help from airport/airline between those times.

Poet with a purpose asked:


I have 1 suitcase that will go with checked luggage, i am taking a purse, and I am taking a large duffel bag that suits size-standards. Can I carry both the purse and duffel bag with me when I get onto the plane? Will I have to put my purse inside the duffel bag?

Is that what you really think? asked:

I have read the airlines websites – but what I want to know if CAN I take shipping box as a piece of luggage?

The dimensions are fine 18x18x18 and the weight is fine… but is there any problem using a box? (ups box)

Yeah I know it sounds “strange” but I dont need to buy more suit cases – I already have 4 and a box is cheap and i can just throw it away/recycle it.
there are 3 of us going. so 6 check in bags with the new feeds ($15 +$25 = $40 X3 = $120)

I just want to know if 2 of the bags can be shipping boxes? IS the BOX a problem?
- it is within the weight and dimensions

basefreefaller asked:

In an air crash nearly everyone dies so: The airliners are stripped to provide a pair of trap doors to the cargo bay which can be folded flat so that trolleys and passengers can walk across, that can be opened in an emergency. There will be stairs leading into a small parting between luggage, that is lighted and is stocked with a parachute for each passenger. (They will be previously briefed before the flight) They all strap in a parachute and warmth suit, much like a wetsuit in which the body can survive extreme cold. The pilot then slows down, when the passengers are ready, to an altitude in which the warmth suits are realistically effective, and the speed is comprehendible for a jump. The passengers then exit via static line, or free fall ( depending on time and or/airline) out of a door built into the bottom of the fuselage, next to the landing gear opening (as not to weaken the fuselage to a great extent) and exit with a built in life jacket for landing in water.

Y DONT THEY?
