    First: BUMP!

    Second: Where has everybody gone? Has the ETB startet early or has everybody gone to Dublin?
    And speaking of Dublin. I'm so psyched to read all the great fanviews. Hope they keep getting better throughout the euro leg and can't wait till Berlin. Less than a month to go! Waaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh........

    and another good morning *bump*

    this place only makes sense bumping when we get input as well, besides so many *bumps*, people. So looking forward for bus-stories. i am so curious.
  • EnehEneh Posts: 145
    one more sad *bump*

    I´ll hope you are all packing and/or on the way...

    Ok, I'll post something other than just a bump. Get ready for a rant!
    Today I get home from work, fire up the PC and check my mail. First unread is from Easyjet and has the headline "cancelation of flight"!
    NNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Those fucking low life, no good, can't be trusted, sons of fucks!! I know there's been some trouble with Easyjet in the past, but I thought it was sortet by now. But I guess not.
    So know I have to find planetickets and it's gonna cost a fortune, 'cause most seats are sold out. Thanks alot Easyjet! And you better be nice to me tomorrow and give me a full refund for both the cancelled flight and the return. And you might wanna start acting like a responsible airline, treat your customers with respect and get them planes in the air, for fucks sake!!
    So consider yourselves warned. Don't fly Easyjet!
    Ahhhhhh, felt good to vent that out. Sorry for all the cursing and if you work for "easy"jet, don't take this personal.

    Well, I'll be damned if I'll let this minor detail spoil the moment. Berlin is less than a month away!!
    And bump btw ;)

    geez - and they give you the money back and thats it for them??? i am sorry to hear that. I hope you´ll find another financially reasonable solution, but file a complain no matter what.

    and good *bump* night!

    *bump* from page 2
  • danedane Posts: 1,062
    Just got of the phone with Easyjet. I was given a full refund and have now booked SAS to take me to Berlin. It's gonna cost me, but atleast SAS are trustworthy. I'm still flying Easyjet back from Berlin though. So I'll propably end up stranded in Berlin........An yes, Eneh, I could file a complain, but I'm pretty shure they have the right to do this. You should see the list of EU rules and regulations, they send me with the e-mail!! I bet they have an army of lawyers just wating to flood me with rules, regulations, directives and whatnot. So nevermind. It just isn't worth it.

    and very jolly good morning bump to you too........

    I might NOT be able to attend the Lisbon shows and stay on the bus on the night of the 4th. My mum just died.

    nah, i wouldnt file a complain to Easyjet but to some ahm, how do you call it, who represent costumer rights. if Easyjet pulls that stunt more often, they can do something.

    but I am happy that everything is sorted out. are you flying to and from Tegel or Schönefeld?

    @ ||Release_Me||
    I am so sorry. I lack words. I hope you´ll get all the strength that you will need.

    I did complain to the Easyjet employee I talked to, but she can't really help it. I mean she listened, but just said that she was sorry. And what can she really say.....
    On the way down, I'm flying to Tegel and the return is Schönefeld. Seems that Tegel is pretty far away from the Wuhlheide area. I'm thinking of taking the subway and/or bus to the hotel. Does anybody what it costs and which train/bus to take?

    EDIT: Nevermind. Just found a comprehensive description on the hotels homepage. Total traveltime from Tegel to Wuhlheide is approx 1 hour, so taxi is out of the question.

    Taxi is out of question. But you just get into the bus X9 at Tegel. Make sure its the X9, thats the fast line, the 9 is taking ages. The bus leaves every 10 minutes. Well from Tegel to Wuhlheide you would need an AB Ticket (AB is Berlin zone). A ticket is worth a 2 hour ride. Costs I think 2,10 at the moment. (To Schönefeld its ABC, as Schönefeld is outside the town in zone C) The X9 takes you to Zoo (Zoologischer Garten). There you change into the S-Bahn. Dont even bother with the UBahn. Take the S9 heading for Schönefeld. Thats 13 stops til Schöneweide. There you get off and from there you take the tram.

    I say "see you in Berlin" all the time. That doesn't mean that I live in Berlin though. Just means that I'll have blast there in less than a month!! :D:D:D Woohooooooooo

    Anyways the ETB should be well on it's way now. Hope you're having the best time of your life and give us an update, when you get a chanche.
