Travel Agent FAIL :(

edited July 2010 in The Crudcatcher
Just booked some flights via a travel agent for this summer to go off on my travels.

The easyjet website said £300 per person eep, but the travel agent got us the same flight for £170...WIN

However, I emailed over our names for the booking (I spelled them correctly, I have gone back and checked).

The booking confirmation came back as flights for passengers:

Miss Heather A C......
Mr Andrea C....

Mr Andrea I think NOT! FAIL!

Easyjet now want to charge me to change it :evil:

    Not your problem then. Travel Agents need to take it up with sleazyjet on your behalf. Which ever one of them who made the mistake is the one who needs to sort it out.

    D-lock the cnuts!

    Agents fault, not yours (assuming they typed in the detals).

    I know it is their fault...I have emailed them and told them this morning.

    I haven't paid the travel agent yet so they sort it, or they don't get paid. I just don't want to have to rebook myself and pay nearly twice as much!

    Less of the grief! My lass is a travel agent, she's not dumb either.I admit she aint no Einstein, but boy is she fit :-)

    And whatever happened to cabin crew having to be fit, I've not seen a fit one in years, they're all bulls nowadays.

    I simply will not tolerate these unsubstantiated claims.

    You know the rule.

    What qualifications would they be then? 2 weeks of practising pushing a trolley around?

    They go to college don't they and do some mickey mouse course. It's what all the slags from school go to college to do. Either that or hair & beauty. I don't think they're needed to be a job though, just like I say some mickey mouse course. A lot seem to think they need to do leisure & tourism! What the fuck sort of a course is that?! The government's way of delaying one's time before going on the dole.

    Just the sort of comment I'd expect from one of you sheep shagging Welsh.

    Haha. Thing is we don't actually shag sheep. The Irish are thick. They have the lowest national IQ average to prove that. They're dumb!

    As in you want pics of me being a hostie or it didn't happen? Here are a couple, but they are all I can find at the moment, not the best shots but still you can see the TUI uniform.

    I wouldn't knock those leisure and tourism courses...if I was single I'd probably go on one... think of the pillaging you'd do while on it

    YES that is me

    YES I had a leopard print steering wheel cover but that is long gone now

    NO I didn't do a Tourism course. I did a degree in Creative Media, did a little but of freelance work in that field but never got full time work. I then ended up working for an insurance company as a claims assessor..........

    and got the job as cabin crew as a bet becasue I am a tomboy and people couldn't see me being a hostie :) I LOVED every second of flying it was awesome
