Silver Airways?????????????????
Yikes.
.
United did this to me. I was at the gate and they told me it would be an hour late. So I went to the lounge. Half an hour later I come back, and the flight is gone. I was in the gate then their lounge and they never said anything about leaving on time after telling everyone they would be an hour late. I was ticked off. But there was another flight an hour later so I was not as mad as I could have been.
I recently got off a train that was continuing to Munich. The train left the station just as the elevator opened and it was painfully obvious the two people coming out of it just missed their train.
On the out trip I actually miss read the bus times to the train and had to call a cab. That was nerve wracking but still made it by ten minutes. We may get a car again.
Never heard of Silver Airlines. I fly almost exclusively Delta. They have always fixed things when they occur.
Airlines screw people every chance they get.
As far as I know, airlines are THE WORST when it comes to getting value for your money. I don’t know of any other place where they keep your money with so little provocation and absolve themselves of any responsibility when something goes wrong.
Your chances of getting any satisfaction from them are zero to none.
You miss your flight for ANY reason, even when it’s their fault, and your money is gone.
It almost happened to me on my way home from the Cleveland Convention. Southwest was having computer issues. Got a text the flight was delayed. Then another one it was delayed more. Went to a airport restaurant for lunch. Got a text that it was leaving in five minutes! Ran to check the board and it was still giving the delayed time. SO I just decided to make my way back to the gate when I passed a DIFFERENT GATE announcing the final boarding for MY FLIGHT. I was really lucky because it was the only flight leaving for Las Vegas that day.
He never ever received an email notification in the past that a flight was going to be late? He’s never flown much.
I had a flight cancelled by U.S. Air from Tallahassee to Tampa years ago, but only after all the other carriers had left. The airline knew it would be cancelled because the plane was still sitting on the ground in Miami with mechanical problems. They had intentionally waited to prevent the pax from being able to fly on the other carriers by not announcing the cancellation. This po’d me so much that I refused their next flight out offer for the next day and took the $100 offer plus the free flight offer. I used the $100 to rent a car and drove back to Tampa, but chucked the free flight voucher. I never flew U.S. Air again.
