1000s of poople were left stranded all across Europe last week as Sky Europe cancelled all of its flights as it filed for bankruptcy. Its hard to know how much warning the company had before it went bust but you have to wonder what their plan was for all of the people stuck in foreign countries. Hopefully everyone will at least get their money back as i think Sky Europe was ATOL protected but im not sure. Its not surprising that so many people are reluctant to go with small airlines these days.
Seems like the EU is looking into some of the misleading airfares by several large airlines. Its just been announced this week but it should be good news for everyone apart from a select few budget airlines! As we all know Ryanair will be in the most trouble with so many hidden costs its hard to keep track. They even announced a charge last week for online check in! Which is a bit rich when you have to pay to check in at the airport too, why isnt the price of check in just incorporated into the ticket price?!
