Topic: Charters - 2 WCS Dreamliner Flights + 1 WCS A350 Cancelled. See OP

If anyone wants to doubt me, message me

Wouldn't have thought that anyone doubts you mate . I'm on the same flight as you , so a bit concerned by the silence from Worldchoice, although they did say that it would likely be Thursday before confirmations . 

Not overly concerned at this stage over flight time changes , although I'd prefer not to arrive much later than the previous indications . Not going to stress too much over it , but the late confirmation doesn't help.

Let's see how things turn out tomorrow , and hopefully everything is tickety boo.

[lukas]

I'm on this flight too, the Ethiopian airlines one. Had nothing yet either. Fingers crossed for tomorrow.

[vanoord]

I'm booked on the same flight (WorldChoice 9.30 Manchester).

Reckon it'll be a game of brinkmanship between WCS and Kiev airport - and probably a shift in departure time - but it might go to Friday before it gets confirmed.

As far as I can tell (I've mislaid the link on Twitter), Worldchoice have a flight from Liverpool at 12:05  (midnight) on Saturday morning to Kiev on an Ethiopian Airlines A350 and the Manchester flight (presumably) will use the same plane, so the confirmation of the Manchester flight is going to depend on confirming the Liverpool flight.

[tgfcoton]

Weve booked through Crown Travel of Allerton flying out of Liverpool Airport and still nothing news wise on who the charter is with and flight number yet alone flight time. Starting to get more than a little concerned as they are not responding to any communications either

Fingers and everything else crossed it all comes together either today or tomorrow

EDIT - Finally as of 9am this morning the flight details have been confirmed by crown
safe travels everyone

Anyone on the 11am Saturday from Manchester World choice sports flights?

I’m thinking of getting a cab into the park once through security. Think it will make it 30 mins easily quicker. Thinking of doing the same after the match really.

Anyone on world choice liverpool Dreamliner day return who hears something today can you post on here pls

[gods_left_peg]

Just seen this on Twitter

I'm in the same boat, so to speak.  I'm booked onto the Dreamliner on Saturday morning.  I've just called WCS and was told they are still discussing landing slots with Boryspil but hope to be issuing e-tickets around lunchtime today.

[kwalitee, no?]

Mates just rang and text me this (as far as I know this is only in relation to the WCS Dreamliner one)-‘just called them said still no idea and currently having meeting to try and resolve but currently they don't have a landing slot in Kiev’

Just off the phone with World Choice Sports

Thought it would be useful for us to have our own thread especially assuming it may be a bit of a shitshow coming back. So let's unite, make friends and otherwise share useful information in this thread.


Important information for World Choice Sports Dreamliner flights.

Just off the phone with them.

Issue affects three Dreamliner flights tomorrow and Saturday. No other flights affected.

No expectation of any cancellations.

Issue is the number of private jets (60+) taking up slots.

Peter Moores in meeting with Kiev airport and expected to be resolved in a couple
Of hours.

Once resolved they will text all passengers with flight details and close phone lines to focus on issuing e-tickets.

Thanks Alan

[kwalitee, no?]

Thanks Alan

[Qcase1977]

Just been on the phone to them in world choice. Jesus h Christ. They are going to be changing the flight time for the 11am departure from Manchester. No idea what time. Earlier or later.

Fuck me sideways....mini-bus booked, lounge booked, in preparation of 11am now.


We can't go any later surely

[Qcase1977]

They haven’t a fucking clue. Im calling them back because the flight numbers on Facebook are not what we’ve been sent.

[vanoord]

Great - as long as you know which flight number refers to which flight! (I've not seen anything for our flight yet)

Finally found the link from Twitter again - this might help: http://derbosoft.proboards.com/thread/28643/champions-league-final-kiev-2018

Doesn't make much sense to me, but suspect ET8706/7 are the Manchester flights as they're not listed from Liverpool.

[nickyd186]

Typical worldchoice on the f**k up again 3rd time they've had issues when chartering Liverpool fans in the past.

And breath.

Ok called again got through. Spoke to the same person. Idiot. She said again I had to check. Flight times changed etc etc. I said but those flight numbers are not what you sent me. I said this in the last call. She goes oh then you are all sorted. No changes to your flights.

I can’t take this.

Hahahaha, you've got to laugh mate.

[Qcase1977]

Hahahaha, you've got to laugh mate.

To right.

From any of these flights from Manchester do we know what terminals they are departing from?

[Qcase1977]

Sorry I see it’s terminal 2

[Buck Pete]

I know a lad who works for SportOptions and he said they waited until they had full confirmation from Kiev before they released details of their flights - he said they waited for confirmation to avoid the exact situation that WorldChoiceSports are in right now

Miles at SportsOptions is a fucking great lad.

Hope all the WCS lads get sorted. Sure it will all come good in the end fellas

[lukas]

My initial e ticket said T1 for Ethiopian flight. Just times tbc.

[vanoord]

My initial e ticket said T1 for Ethiopian flight. Just times tbc.

Mine says T1 at Kiev, doesn't mention a terminal at Manchester.

Then again, there's paperwork that says Terminal D at Kiev.

[lukas]

On second glance mines the same haha!

[gods_left_peg]

Just phoned WCS as the flight time is going to have an impact on my plans for today and tomorrow. They said they should know something in the next 20 minutes. Fingers crossed we know more soon.

[lukas]

Cheers for the updates mate.

[Spongebob Redpants]

Just received text off Worldchoice Sports :

'We are having difficulties confirming slots in Kiev . High authorities working on this as we speak . Hope to have an update by 14.30'.

Fuckin shambles !

Sounds like they didn't submit info to Kiev authoritys by the dead line last Friday and now striggling to get sorted. Not the first time these have f**ked up!

[vanoord]

Not wanting to increase the levels of worry, but according to Facebook, their office is locked and the blinds are drawn.

Not surprising, given they obviously have a major problem with Kiev conforming the landing slots and having people in the office shouting at them isn't going to help.

[lukas]

Just fuck off. State of this.

[AA3JM21]

Horrible from them this .. IF it does get sorted its almost guaranteed to be such shite slots now too

[Spongebob Redpants]

Even if it leaves the night before , I'd take that .

Just want to get there .

Yeah of course mate .. they'l blame Kiev airport for this but in reality it's obviously their fault
Doubt anyone will be using them again anytime soon!

[cheshiremike]

horrible feeling they are about to fuck a lot of people over 

[kwalitee, no?]

Well I'm not getting anything done. It seems like ages since I booked this, can't believe they are fucking around like this. I just want to get there - the thought that it might just all fall to bits is horrible.

I'm not helped by constant GDPR emails arriving - bastards.

[Spongebob Redpants]

I know mate - just got a horrible sinking feeling .

They've obviously been lying throughout this , telling different people different things . Hopefully they can still get it sorted - guessing this affects around 1000 people.

[WanderingRed]

I thought the dreamliner was operating about 2/3 flights to Kiev?

Ethiopian Dreamliners carry around 300 people
