Interesting mood at work today. Slightly disconcerting to see an airlines entire base fleet parked up out of the way

Guess they'll be arriving at Lasham soon.

That though did cross my mind

Been an interesting selection of 'visitors' overnight... BA have picked up several flights split between their own and a pair of Qatar A320s, whilst Wamos have had a pair of 747-400s bouncing back and forth on behalf of HiFly...

Qatar seem to do a lot of 'Picking up the Pieces' for other Airlines cock ups around the Globe.

I remember just before Xmas a few years back I missed my Connecting Flight from Frankfurt to Hong Kong on a Lufthansa Sardine Jumbo (there fault not mine), Luftwaffe put me on a Qatar flight next day as they were fully booked up till Xmas day, when they handed me the Printed Paper Work for the Qatar Flight it also had the Seat Price on it that Im guessing Lufthansa paid Qatar Airline the seat, guessing they should have torn that bit off, the Seat was for Frankfurt / Riyadh / Doha / Hong Kong and was in Total 28 Euros

Qatar have a lot of spare airframes and crews at the moment due to the fact they were on the US no hand baggage list (now removed), and more importantly for short haul, they've fallen out with most of the Middle East over their alledged involvement/support for ISIS/Al Queda

I understand they're not running any of the Israel rotations though - that's a bit too politically sensitive for some reason

Oh bugger. 

Flights rebooked with another airline. Cheaper too.

If you booked before December, then you should get your money back

If booked after, and paid by credit card, then again, you should also get your money back.
