I don't know if any of you have flights booked with this outfit....but I would watch the news if I were you. Bit of an issue in Vancouver, Glasgow bound passengers are stranded.

Echoes of Canada 3000 if you ask me.

Hi Dingbat, this link is not connecting for me to Vancouver Sun and I have rellies in Glasgow now! What's the story?

Sorry - will try and find another link, but basically the passengers should have boarded last night, were left in the terminal until today - boarded the plane, taxied across the tarmac and then were returned to the gate. They were ordered off the plane, ferried into a hotel and left. No information - nothing. My mate works at YVR and reckons that Globespan may be in trouble....

Try this - it may work, no idea why the other one isn't.

Oh no, this is not good. I have rellies booked on Globespan for July, coming from the UK. I was a bit dubious when they told me who they'd booked with as I never use the charter airlines myself, this is a good reason why.

Thanks dingbat. Don't know who they are with but will have to check.

Celineuk is flying with them tonight!!!! Holy cow, im glad my mum and nan booked with other ppl!!!

Just wanted to add that we booked through them to go with Zoom at xmas and they f***ed up royally then, not telling Zoom we were flying with them and what not, seemed like they couldnt fight there way out of a wet paper bag back then.

Heard some bad things about Globespan so this news doesn't surprise me.

This link to Skytrax customer reviews says it all really.

CelineUk and I are trying to get through to them to confirm his flight and there call centre in Canada is constantly busy.......a bit supsect!

Thanks for the link Printer, i added my 2 cents worth!!!

Just wanted to say that I think that they are ok financially they are just a really bad airline!
ive known 3 ppl fly this outfit in the last 2 weeks, all were delayed by 4+ hours.
If anyone has ppl flying on this airline i would book the day after returning off work, Celineuk was due to land at 4pm, he is still in the air and its now 9.41pm estimated time of arrival 11pm!!!

Well then, trying to put a positive slant on this, my relatives are scheduled to arrive at the height of rush hour in Vancouver, so 4 hours late will be a plus. Gulp!

And we have used globespan three times Manchester Calgary and never once had a delay with this airline.

Aww, crap, I'm scheduled to fly with them in October. Should I risk booking my accommodation yet?
