We went on the 11am flight from Manchester on WCS. All smooth outbound, the XL crew were great.

Coming back supposed to leave at 2. 30am but left about 2 hours late in the end. Didn't see a WCS rep all the time and very little information given out at Kiev airport. In fact, it was one gobby Irish woman who kept going to the desk and trying to get information.

I've been with Sports Options previously and I'll be doing that again in the future, avoiding WCS if possible.

A wound that will not heal, a heart that cannot feel.
Hoping that the horror will recede,
Hoping that tomorrow we'll all be freed.........JUSTICE.

would say we landed at kiev at 3:20 pm on day of game. there was loads of space for planes to park up made a point of looking as we landed. that reason for cancellation doesnt add up. also thanks to bobby axelrod for the delay coming back as he went back on a friends private jet and didnt tell the charter  ::)

Mate if theres any justice those disgusting fuckers won't be in operation too much longer. I know the owner will just make a new name up, company or something but hopefully our fans can keep everyone updated so they or his companies are never used again.

Even top airline operators will try everything to avoid paying back cancelled flights, but keep pressing them and if nothing happens make a complaint then take it to an Ombudsman who will hopefully get them barred from operating. Hopefully this exists and there is a ombudsman they are affiliated too?

Sound, on with that and have Granada involved too

Quick update, had another interview with Granada to follow up the one from Friday but this time to focus specifically on the refunds including unnecessary delays in paying back, refusal of payment, compensation, lack of contact/updates so hopefully should be on tonight. Matt from Granada has been looped in with a few more guys who have been affected to speak too and is going across to front WCS this afternoon.

ABTA are aware and have a statement being prepared and SoS and Joe Anderson promised full support with Tony Barret looped in on the thread (but not spoke to him directly yet). So see where we get too and hopefully we can help get everyone boxed and no-one gets left on their todd #YNWA

Well done mate. They will be hoping this goes away and they can rip people off again in future so hopefully this helps to get more exposure of it.

Update 29/05/2018 at 18:30.

Contrary to the Granada reports article on tonights TV, no one is fighting to get their refund if they have not travelled.

We guarantee everyone who has not travelled to be refunded in full. We are workiong hard to get this all processed as fast as possible.

Defo, they have now promised all refunds will be done by tomorrow rather than Friday which is still piss poor but hopefully gets a lot of people their money back a bit quicker but why am I not convinced I wonder?

Once the main priority is boxed off then making it difficult for WCS to operate in this space again is on the agenda alongside nailing our friends at UEFA who need to be shown one way or another enough is enough.

Seen you there mate, I didn`t get a good feeling from the owner when he said all refunds will be sorted by tomorrow, looked like he was saying it for the camera.

No defo not an still think there is a good chance these will go pop before anyone gets a yarab but at least the spotlight and pressure is on to sort quicker for people but let’s see. For the “valued customers” in my situation he was put on the spot but gave a fairly vague “look at other cases once refunds done tomorrow” but now right at his door and past the desk based team who are probably responsible for the fuck ups in the first place so he can’t say he didn’t know and now has the opportunity to box off which was another objective ticked off the list.

Nice one, defo out of my comfort zone but had to be done and fingers crossed will give another point of support people can turn too so they don’t get bullied or fobbed off, help get everyone boxed or at least get their money back a bit quicker.

Be nice to see someone post they've actually got their money back.
If Kenny Dalglish had simply played football for Liverpool he would be an Anfield hero. However, the fact that he managed the club to even greater success guarantees him the status of a legend.

Spoke to Matt at ITV last night and have him the latest, he's aware there are still people not had any contact since last week from  WCS or have been refused a refund similar to my scenario so is seeing if they can do a follow up today with WCS, find out how many now had refunds, % still left, when they will get sorted, anyone who has been refused a refund and confirm that all people who never travelled will be refunded as WCS committed to Monday

Defo mate, far as I can see then every person who had their flight cancelled is entitled to €400 under under EU Regulation 261/2004. Obviously every stunt will be pulled to get outa this but when has that ever stopped us 😀

WCS committed on Tuesday that all refunds would be processed within 48 hours (so by tonight). Additionally now all facts had been presented direct to Mr Soni he promised that every person who didn't travel would be refunded, if this hasn't the Granada have said they will run a new report.

If you check on Joe's Twitter he has promised to report back outcome of discussion today and you can see related threads if you follow me on @huytonbad as well, The more noise and pressure on these fuckers the better including Myriad Travel who also seem to be pissing people about but may be going under the radar with all the shit with WCS YNWA

Mate, I just bobbed a reply back to Joe on your behalf and tagged you as Myriad are saying all refunds were completed on Tuesday so maybe worth diving on #YNWA
