My flight was canceled and no one ever answered the phone at their company. I spent days trying to contact them and received no response. I had to buy a separate plane ticket. I did not receive any notification, any alternative, any option, or any help. It was an emergency flight, costing almost €1500, plus other expenses

My baggage was damaged upon arrival in Brussels with Qatar Airways. I reported the damage immediately at the airport and a Property Irregularity Report (PIR) was issued. The suitcase shell was broken near the zipper due to mishandling during loading or unloading.There were also personal items inside the suitcase including a gold ring and amber prayer beads.

Upon boarding they informed me that the flight is overbooked and I will not be able to board. I had to stay at the airport the whole day to wait for this flight. I have contacted them numerous times without any finalization of the issue.

As a result of the missed connection:, I lost a prepaid night at my accommodation in Cape Town, more than a full day of my planned vacation, which was already short and carefully scheduled. I missed out on planned activities and bookings, which were non-refundable and booked in advance.

Our flight was canceled. When I asked if they could arrange a room for us near the airport, they advised us to book it ourselves. Similarly, they expected us to handle the transportation from Munich to Frankfurt, and only then would they consider refunding us.

Staff turnover times were insufficient and flight may need to be cancelled, other staff mentioned the flight had been diverted. This might little to no sleep for myself and dependants to arrive back at Manchester airport to check in again

They kept on denying and putting the blame on emirates while myself, my one year old baby and husband suffered the long wait at Gatwick airport and we had to pay additional €660 to rebook the flight for the next day. It has been a total nightmare
