|
|
Early July we travelled to Skiathos and were badly let down by the Olympic tour operators. We experienced not just delays for our return flight which should have taken off from Skiathos and taken about 4 hours, but were bundles across Greece and ended up, after nearly a day of uncomfortable delays and horrendous travel, with nothing but two sandwiches offered, taking off from Thessalonica.
We were given many reasons, none were true!! Information had already been posted on teletext stating what we eventually found to be the truth, our plane had been re-routed to take another group out to Greece instead of picking us up.
So far, the tour operators have failed to contact us. There were approximately 150 of us, so are they not aware we are going to make a case? Elderly people, children and others with certain travel fears etc. all were in effect mislead, and many of us came home a day late, having had no sleep or proper food, change of clothes etc. facing urgent jobs.
Be warned, we have travelled for years with no problems to Greek Islands, but will be wary in future.  |

Hello Marion,
Unfortunately you are not the only one in this kind of inconvenience with Olympic. I heard many things lately about same cases and even a friend of mine that was coming from Paris and had to wait 24 hours in a beautiful hotel but only with sandwiches! It is not the best thing to loose one day of your holidays when you have only 6!! |

| The Greek Government is trying to sell Olympic at the moment. I was in Greece in June this year and there were plenty of flight cancellation stories and people being rebooked onto other airlines. |
