Rude service
In the waiting lounge the ground service announced premier seats passenger get in first and then said a series of name very quickly, I didn't catch that, but at the same time I heard other passengers discussing:'' ...they are just calling in premiers, not us...'' I booked the economy seat so I waited while there were still lots of people in the waiting lounge. 5 minutes later they announced something like:'' passenger Achmarhton, Salisbury, come to the front desk if you still want to get in'' And I realised that maybe the people remain in the same waiting lounge are waiting for different flight. And the surname Achmarhton could be Achmarh and Ton. I appologised to the girl at the front desk and said:''Sorry I thought...'' and she interrupted me even without listening my first sentence:''No! it's not!''

But later it turned out she was not in a hurry as they haven't finished mechanical checking, then why would she be so rude and impatient?

Being laughed at by the flight attendant
Thought air attendants just pour the drink and wouldn't do any harm? Here is the one.

I am the last several getting onto the airplane, the air attendant was leaning on the seats and doing nothing. She didn't find my seat for me but it's okay since it's a cheap flight. I tried to put my bag onto the tray by myself but it fell out and hit my head, the bag just slide out every time and I couldn't push my bag in and push the tray back into the ceiling at the same time, the air attendant was looking in my direction smiling and I felt so embarrassed, I thought she could realise I am having difficulty cos I am the only one loading baggage at that time but she took no action. I wanna give her second chance cos there might be some misunderstanding and I said: " Excuse me, could you help me to put my baggage onto it?" But she just made the problem even more difficult: " So you want me to help you?" Come on, you are the air attendant! this is your job! But I don't want to start an arguement in front of so many passengers.

On my seat one hour later I still couldn't stop thinking about it, so I tried to complain but I came back with more embarrassment and regret I talked to them. I found an air attendant at the front of airplane to talk to but all other air attendants passing by start to join the conversation and start covering up for her and saying:'' ...it's up to herself to realise you need help...we won't load your baggage if it's too heavy...'' and I said ''but she was standing in front of me doing nothing and my bag was actually a small one, it's just I am not tall enough'' and one of them even said:'' Our main duty is ensuring the safety of the passenger really." well, but checking the seat belt only take a few minutes! and at that time she came by and start washing a bowl near us and others didn't ask her to go away to seperate us, they didn't say they would pass it to their supervisor.

If you don't want to load my bag, it's fine! Just tell me you are tired or you don't have the duty to do this, but don't embarrass me after I ask for help and still ask me back:'' So you want me to help you?"

The storage drawer requires you to use one hand in it ensuring bag doesn't fall out and another hand pushing it up the ceiling and only a tall man can do this. Don't you realise it after working on the plane a long time? It's the common design of the Boeing plane that the drawer is open downwards and baggage would slide out of the smooth plastic drawer easily.

loss of deposit
Booken a flight with globespan in August 2008, in December 2008 i received notification that the outbound flight had been changed and cancelled from the 1st July 2009 to the 2nd July 2009. i immediately advised them that 1 of my party had problems with this date change and we would try and amend the Florida side of the plans
I phoned them today to cancel that passenger and they advise me i have lost their deposit!!!

It seems that Globespan can cancel/amend your flight details 4 months down the line without any recompense but if you try and cancel 1 of your passengers because of THEIR FLIGHT CHANGE 4 months down the line after being notified even though you phoned them immediately about that problem then its a 'TOUGH' approach you get of lump it.

Stranded on departure date
We booked with Flyglobespan 6-8 months in advance for flights to and from Vancouver BC Canada- Dublin Ireland (even after reading ALL complaints) We left Vancouver International for Dublin Aug 17/08 with a 3 hour delay, which made us miss our connections, had a wonderful holiday all through Europe with all our other airline flights working on time!!, The only computor access we had was in spain twice to read our seats were changed and we would be stopping to refuel somewhere, but no time change, Then In Croatia travels we had no Comp access, so when we arrived back into Dublin Airport Sept 22/08 @ 11:30 for our 3:00 flight we were told it left @ 10:30 am. I immediatly phoned Flyglobespan Customer service ( as they did not have anyone to help or a customer service desk) and the girl on the other end of the phone said there is nothing they can do to help us they said they tried to get in touch with us (at our home in canada) and there next flight to Vancouver Canada, was NEXT June/09...GOOD_BYE .We called immediatly when we got home and listened to our voice mail and there were 2 messages, and 1 on our internet !! They said write a letter, but we warned you, and it is in our agreement that is all we have to do !! We had to buy a new flight from Dublin back to Vancouver and after 6 weeks travelling, this was almost near impossable !!!Our flights were not that cheap either, BUT There has to be something done to prevent all complaints, but I never want anyone else (especially someone travelling alone) to have that feeling of being STRANDED in any airport!!

flight left without us!!
We flew to Ireland from Vancouver BC Canada with a 3 HOUR delay, on FLYGLOBESPAN, .. missed our connection, travelled through Europe for 6 weeks, (with every train, plane, and hydrofoil on the exact time which was on our itinery) and the last 3 weeks had no means of checking our email messages(why should we, were on holidays)and arrived back to Dublin airport at 11:30 am for our 3:00 pm flight for them to tell us, Flyglobespan left at 10:00am that day !!! I called immediatley as they don't have a desk there and no one to help so luckely I had written down the customer care phone # and the girl on the other end said there is nothing they could do and we were stranded in Dublin airport!! They said they had left us numerous messages, all at our home in canada(which we left 6 weeks earlier) and we recieved when we got home 2 days later on Britsh Airlines for another $2, 000.00cdn on top of what we paid Flyglobespan!!! Be very aware of this airline, I read all the complaints, but went ahead anyway!! Anyone with ANY advise on how to be compensated in any way from this mess???? We did have a trip of our lifetime...except our very last day with this so called airline!! HELP!!!

Diet With Dalrymple
Globespan have introduced a free on board slimming club. On 25/9/08 flight gsm401 for Barcelona (changed from 9am to4.30pm) loaded at edinburgh. This flight was one of many delayed because of the air traffic control problems in London. During the 3hr wait on the tarmac, a guy with a sense of humour, told the stewardess to ask the captain to contact Globespan HQ. The purpose of this was to ask Tam & Ricky to nip along to the airport with a few fish suppers to feed the hungry passengers(we would pay--certainly no chance of tam & ricky putting their hand in their pocket). But this request was not forwarded to HQ! Cabin crew sat with no work to do?But worse was to come.Eventually, after take off, the trolley dolly's set to work with usual gusto. They no sooner started when they announced that their in flight caterer had omitted to load any food!!! Head steward sat doing nothing for three hours and never thought to check supplies!!! If you don't believe the foregoing you won't believe the rest. On 2/10/08 the return flight from Barcelona, gsm 402, was a bit late in taking off. Again the trolley dolly's sprang to action. They had only served the first three rows of passengers when they announced that they had run out of food. So there you have globespans free slimming club. Or were they cutting down weight to conserve fuel???

Worst airline ever
Flew to London in May. They didn't tell us the plane would be 9 hours late until we were in the check in line at the airport. The air canada agents checking us in (they don't even have their own counter?!) told us they had been late for weeks, and just kept getting later and later because they couldn't make up the time. I had a connecting flight from London that I had to change because of the extreme lateness, which cost me $160, more than what I saved by choosing flyglobespan in the first place (paid $710 including tax). When I got home I wrote flyglobespan a letter asking for reimbursement because it was completely their fault I had to change my connecting flight, and they said that they were not responsible, and that things happen that are out of control. "sorry we are unable to help you" they said. Since this happens to them all the time I find that hard to believe. I will never fly with them ever again. They will be going out of business soon with this attitude- once they have your money they won't do anything for you. They will lose more than the $160 I wanted from them, because I am telling everyone I know never to fly with them, and have emailed the online agency I bought my ticket from, telling them about their business practices. Someone needs to start a class action lawsuit against flyglobespan

Terrible experience!
Right, This is what T.Dalrymple & Co think of their customers. (some of long standing). Recently, an officer from Edinburgh Trading Standards interviewed globespan regarding complaints from the public. I don't know the detail of all complaints, but mine was that they knowingly combine flights without prior warning (at booking time) to the clients. I consider that what you book on their website and what you actually receive are two entirely different products. This verges on gross misrepresentation. What right have globespan to take people to places against their will. The possibility of flight integration should be made clear at time of booking and let the PAYING CLIENT DECIDE if they are prepared to accept this re-routing. This should not be globespans decision.

Their reply to the TS officer was that if clients don't like how globespan operate, then they should just find another airline. How bloody ARROGANT can anyone get. Yet again they hide behind the Holy Grail, (their terms & conditions). telling the TS officer that they operate within the law. Apparently, another branch of Trading Standards is going to report them to the AUC (air transport users council) for their treatment of passengers.

What is also required here ,is that someone with financial muscle, hire a top lawyer to examine their Terms & Conditions in great detail, as I am sure that their T&C can't cover every complaint by every customer. There also needs to be publicly posted information on what exactly constitutes their rules as compared to Gross Misrepresentation. I rather think globespan could well become unstuck on this point.

Finally, I don't think TD & Co. realize the danger to their staff & passengers by unannounced flight integration. On my flight, some extremely angry passengers were becoming very abusive when they found their pre booked seats already taken. The language was foul and very heated. I expected a punch up at any moment. This put unnecessary stress on the cabin staff and was alarming for other passengers. I think the Captain was about to intervene at one point. What would happen if there was physical violence in the confined space of an aircraft?? I leave you to draw your own conclusions.
