I knew booking with an airline called "FlyMe" was a mistake...

Off to Jönköping in Sweden, a couple of hours from sunny Gothenburg, for a weekend in February. Rather than submitting to Ryanair's increasingly bizarre range of extra charges and general unpleasantness, we booked with FlyMe, a cheerful-/dubious- (delete as applicable) sounding Swedish low-cost outfit.

 

Aaaand they've just moved us from the 12:50 flight to the (cheaper) 20:30 flight, which arrives too late for any kind of bus or train on to Jönköping.

 

Naturally, the small print gives them every right to do so without recompense, and I suppose it's always "buyer beware" when you're dealing with cheap airlines. This is the first time I've been screwed around quite so spectacularly though. Pack of c-words.

 

Why, I might just go back to bed in protest.

Despite the small print, that's still totally out of order. Unlucky mate.

Was it cheap enough that you can just sack it off and book with Ryanair instead? Pisstaking bunch of wankers btw.

FlyMe is apparently the shortened version of the companies name. The full name is FlyMeButNotAtTheTimeIWantOrTheCorrectDestination.

£40 each all-in, so not exactly a fortune (and most of that is in taxes etc., natch). Turns out Ryanair for the outgoing leg is still dirt-cheap (£20 each with taxes), which is somewhat less than a centrally located hotel in Gothenburg would cost, I imagine, and would actually get us where we want to be at a reasonable time of day, so I reckon that's going to have to be it...

Fucking hate Ryanair as well after the bollocks I got from them last summer. Missed the check in by less than five minutes because our bus didn't turn up, wouldn't let us through despite the plane not moving for another hour, then charged us £40 each to switch us to another flight. Wankers.
