Out
Trip to Turkey to get My teeth fixed.
It
started due to me needing teeth for the last 30 years or so or more. When I was
younger, I had a few different accidents that caused damage to my teeth and
Jaw!
1.
The BMX Bike Crash
When I was around 11 years old, I got a new bike and was
allowed to ride it outside the front of my mother’s house. My next-door
neighbor, Meral, who was the same age, often played with me in our back gardens
over the short garden fence. One day, I saw Meral watching me from her front
room window as I rode up and down the pavement on my bike. I decided to impress
her by showing off my no-hands riding skills. To be
honest, I’m still not sure how fast I was going, but I was feeling pretty
confident.
As I zoomed along, grinning and trying to catch Meral's
attention, I didn't notice the lamppost right in front of me.
·
“As for evidence towards this I had to look hard in google
and my memory to find the lamp post again as it was gone when I looked but I
found it. There were no marks on the pavement but across the road is lamppost
in the original locations, so I wondered around in street view till I came up
with this from the 2011 timeline.”
Before
I knew it, I crashed straight into it! I'm not sure if Meral screamed, but my
mother definitely did. She rushed out, scooped me up, and drove me straight to
the dentist.
2.
Away In Turkey on Holiday
I had just gotten my new dentures made in the UK and was
given the option to have them glued in right away or wait until I got back. I
decided to wait, thinking it would be fine. While on holiday in Turkey, I found
myself on a jet ski, bouncing over the waves with the wind in my hair and a
huge smile on my face. As I was jumping along the waves, grinning at everyone
on the beach, a massive wave hit me, and to my horror, my dentures flew out and
disappeared into the sea!
3.
At “Bar FM”
Bar FM, a local pub in my area in North London Enfield, was
one of my regular spots. One evening, as I was entering the pub in my new
shoes, I slipped on the wooden decking flooring. Although I didn't fall, it was
a close call. Later, as I was leaving the pub in a hurry due to a fight
breaking out, I forgot about my earlier slip. In my rush, I slipped again and
hit my chin on the corner of the step. I believed I had damaged a bottom tooth.
My friends took me across the road to some nearby flats. I went home alone,
thinking the injury wasn't significant, and fell asleep, planning to visit the
dentist in the morning.
However, I woke up covered in blood, as was all my bedding.
I went to the mirror and saw the extent of the damage. My lower jaw had split
into two halves, divided straight down the front center. I decided not to
scream and instead found my phone to dial 999. I spoke to a female operator,
explaining everything that had happened. I pleaded for female paramedics,
believing they would understand my situation better and see that I was a young
man with a promising future, now facing a life-changing injury.
I explained that I needed immediate medical assistance and
mentioned the maxillofacial medical team at the NHS, who had previously saved
my life after a car crash by sewing my bottom lip back on so seamlessly that
even I couldn't notice the scar. Before I knew it, two female paramedics
arrived, and we all understood the seriousness of my condition as we discussed
it. I was rushed to the hospital and underwent multiple operations, enduring
immense pain to get it fixed. I was incredibly lucky and grateful for the
medical teams who saved me once again.
I recently received images of the damage when I got my teeth
repaired and have provided them below.
I
was understandably worried about this injury, and it significantly changed my
life. I became more cautious to protect myself from injuries, whether caused by
myself or others. However, despite my efforts, government officials and
neighbors still managed to endanger my life.
Initially,
I believed the damage had been repaired correctly. But over time, the injury
had pulled closer together, pushing the bottom middle tooth out of alignment. I
realized I would need to go to the hospital to have it broken and reset. The
thought of enduring that pain again was daunting. However, when I visited
DentaFly, they reassured me that the healing had gone well, and the misaligned
tooth was perfectly fine and fixable. So, I requested a quote for the necessary
treatment.
Most
recently as of a month prior to the same date of this letter my sister went
away to get her teeth fixed that she accidentally damaged and this included: --
·
Two front teeth
·
Veneers to all other teeth
Her
treatment plan concluded to a complete “Hollywood Smile.” Once she arrived back, she explained to me
what her experience was like and recommend me to the same dentist that helped
her receive the treatment she required and at a fair price. Antalya turkey was
the destination, but I was yet to work out who would be doing the work.
Prior
to the conversation with the dentist my sister referred me to I had to decided
what was best for me due to the damage I had caused in all my accidents to my
teeth and mouth beforehand and decided just to get the top jaw fixed.
My
friend and I who helped me on my behalf messaged the what’s app number we were
given by my sister and spoke to a booking consultant. He explained a price and
we asked what implants he will be using, he sent us the name and I done checks
on them but have since lost or misplaced those original texts and computer
history. As a slight probe I attempted to ask my sister and she has been
looking for the invoice ever since, she spoke to the dentist who told her Neodent
but not no brand and I choose to leave it there. What initially happened was I
done checks online and the brand used was categorized as a cheaper brand more
commonly used to keep prices down, so, I used the quoted and intel gained to
obtain a better quote but with better quality implants form another
establishment, Hence Straumman Neodent implants and abutments 2 implants from
DentaFly.
Both
consultants from both dentists asked for us to send pictures of my teeth and
then gave us a breakdown of the names of the implants and crowns that would be
needed for my treatment and gave pricing alongside with package deal options
that allowed maneuverability in the pricing and so on and we choose Dentafly
due to Ai break down of the two different implants offered by both dentist and
Straumman Neodent implants being the best out of the two.

Traveling
In Between Home and The Airports
We
made the mistake of booking our flights from Gatwick based on advice from
people we consulted about getting dropped off by car from.
I
realised that the difference in taxi fares from my home to Stansted Airport
compared to Gatwick was a fairly significant amount extra.
However,
when I finally calculated the costs, taking a cab to London Bridge and then the
train to Gatwick actually ended up costing about £30 more and based on the
information I found, flights from London Gatwick to Antalya tended to be
cheaper than those from London Stansted to Antalya.
·
For example: you can find flights from
Gatwick to Antalya starting at around £32.99 with easyJet. On the other hand,
flights from Stansted to Antalya start at around £69 with Jet2 and Pegasus
Airlines.
I
can’t recall the exact savings. Overall, it felt like a complicated trade-off
between convenience and cost, but I had to get to Turkey Antalya and at the
moment I don’t own a private plane.
By
Friends or Family: lead us to working out that Brimsdown Train Station does
not run in time to catch an early morning train to London Bridge to get to Gatwick,
so we need the cab to get us to London Bridge.
By Car with me Driving
Taking a car to the airport For Christmas and
New Year would
leave us paying 180 pounds for car parking and Car insurance £18 per day,
needed.
During the Christmas and New Year
period, parking rates at Gatwick Airport can be higher due to increased demand.
Here are some approximate rates for that period:
1.
Short Stay Parking: Around £40 per day.
2.
Long Stay Parking: Approximately £25 per day after the first
day, which costs £38.
3.
Meet and Greet Parking: About £10 per day.
By
Cab
Cabs
from North London Enfield worked out expensive for uber to be booked in advance
but I remembered from years ago that the cab station near me had a price list
in the window and went looking for it in google maps and it was still there.
The
Prices in the Window Are as Follows:
1.
London City Airport £35
2.
Stansted Airport £35
3.
Luton Airport £35
4.
Heathrow Airport £35
5.
Gatwick Airport £35
6.
West End £35
Booking a train from London
Bridge to Gatwick Airport seemed like the most convenient option, especially
since Brimsdown Train Station didn't have early trains available. I discovered
a helpful website, omio.com, which made it easy to secure my tickets. Ultimately,
I decided to use an online taxi booking service as well, as it made sense to
arrange my return journey at the same time for added convenience.

LEAVING
MY HOME IN A CAB
Before
the cab arrived, I printed all receipts twice that would be needed. The
cab arrived at my home in time for us to leave and arrive at London Bridge
Station on time and the cab driver was friendly.
On
the way we spoke to him and asked him how we would go about changing the time
on the return cab as we had clicked on 1:00Am instead of 02:00 hours not
releasing it was a 24-hour clock as we were booking our cabs in the website. He
explained that this is not a problem and that we can do this at any time, by
using there webapp or contacting the main office.
AT
LONDON BRIDGE TRAIN STATION
We
had to wait for the train to arrive and in our spare time we ordered some food
from Greg’s that nicely allocated in the train station until it was time for
our departure to Gatwick Airport!
Once
on the train we were both soon at the airport and with our two small carriage
suite case and additional Luggage that was one x a bigger suitcase than the
ones we were carrying.
The
train ride got us to our destination in time of its schedule and had pleasant
scenery along its route.
INSIDE
OF THE AIRPORT
Once
inside of the Gatwick Airport our brains started to figure it all out, the
boards hung up had the information we needed and we both hurried to work it out
the fastest, my friend said the gate number and I stated it is over there. We
found easyJet and cued up to place the larger suitcase onto the section where
it would be booked in and weighed for it to disappear on the conveyor belt and
out to the staff who use the machinery to then place it on the plane, for us.
I
put the bag on the scales and touched my passport on to the machine as
requested and it asked me to pay another 40 pounds, so, I tried again and the
same thing happened, I thought here we go and decided to pull out my phone and
printed paperwork of receipts and call-in search of a member of staff, as I was
sure that I had paid for this service when using trip.com website services.
As
the kind easyJet member of staff started to help us, I logged into my phone and
showed her the receipts.
She
started to help by going through the system I had just prior used. She
explained to us that the large suitcase has not been booked onto the plane
already.
This
caused us to go through the receipts with her and she explained that the trip
advisor had misled us into believing we had paid for baggage when in fact what
we had paid for was a suitcase to be allowed as extra carriage on the plane.
She tried to put the suitcase in a metal section to see if it fitted and
noticed it would just barely but said it will be alright and due to all the
confusion caused, we had best hurry upstairs to book ourselves and luggage all
in, as time had been wasted.
So,
we hurried upstairs into the airport to book ourselves and luggage into customs
so we can head to our departure gate in time for it not to be closed but as we
were allowed into the first section with the use of our passports, for the
passport ID check in stage, we were stopped by staff as we went to place our
suite cases on the conveyor belt. The staff who approached us told us that we
can’t bring the larger suitcase on this way.
We
explained to staff what we were told by the staff lady downstairs and the
member of staff reinstated his decision as he told us again that we must go all
the way back downstairs and basically repay. He continued by also stating that
we must hurry as we will need to come back upstairs and start all again.
We
both run all the way downstairs and found the woman again who then rushed us to
the machine and placed the bags back onto the machine.
She
then quickly booked the large suitcase in again and made me pay 40 pounds.
EasyJet-09-01-25—1051
Total £40:00p,
We
ran back upstairs in the airport and got past the passport ID check-in stage to
reach the departure gate, only to find it closed through no fault of our own.
We had done everything on time but were misinformed and manipulated by the trip
advisor website. This wasn't made clear to us until we made our way back home
again. As we reached the Departure Gate, it was closed, and we realized we were
trapped in the airport. No one other than staff could get out of the section of
the airport building we were confined in unless they boarded a plane and left.
We
tried to grasp the situation, but it had no positive effect. We missed the
plane and were trapped in the airport with no staff to help us get out. We
looked around for staff who could advise us, but none were to be seen. Then we
came across another family with children who had missed the same plane. We all
decided to work together, and we saw a cleaner wandering away from us, and
everyone rushed over to him. We tried not to ambush him with our worries, and
he seemed to know the answers we needed, as I presumed, he had heard it all
before. He advised us to all go to the only information desk that is open and
directed us to it.
Once
we found it, we realized it was the British Airways information desk, and there
was no staff inside. I could see two other families already queuing in front of
us, and I knew this was trouble. Eventually, a member of staff turned up, and
we awaited our turn for help. The lady said, "Hello, can I help you?"
We all explained what had happened, only for her to say, "Sorry, we cannot
help you all. We're not easyJet; we're British Airways."
We
all stepped back from the queue and stood there, unsure of what else to do. I
kept watch on the only member of staff we could see, the lady at the British
Airways information desk, whom the cleaner had sent us to find for help. We
were all stuck and asked more staff as we found them, who all sent us back to
the British Airways desk. I had had enough, as had the rest of us. I approached
the British Airways lady at the information desk again that I had keep my eyes
on and said in a polite voice, "Please, can you help us by contacting
someone?" She stated, "Wait there, and I will contact someone from
easyJet, as all their offices are on the other side of the airport."
She
came back and said someone was on their way to collect us all. It was lucky
that I demanded someone be called to help us, or we could have been stuck for a
long time.
Eventually
some easyJet assistance arrived and said that they never have staff on this
side of the Gatwick airport and repeated that this is as the office for easyJet
as are on the other side.
He
said but don’t worry he will first take us to our luggage as it was not put on
the plane and then to their offices, where we can speak to a supervisor, who if
he or she hears what we were explaining they might put us on the next flight.
After
a long walk we all arrived with our bags at the other side of the terminal
where easy jet staff and offices could be found. We were pointed to some staff
and told to ask to see the supervisor. Staff tried to advise us away as we approached,
and we explained what we were told to do and why. The family with us who also
never got on the plan and ourselves were then told by easyJet staff to wait
around and look for a person in a blue suite, we thought at first, we were
being given the run around again as we stood in a massive section of the
airport with easyJet logos advertised everywhere and staff with orange jacket with
easyJet logos on them were all moving around us and queuing systems were all
around us but then we see a man in a blue suite, and we all headed towards him.
A member of staff tried to stop us again and we explained we need to get to the
supervisor in the blue suit before he disappears, and the member of staff said,
“Well you better hurry up then.” We explained all to the supervisor from the
second we were approaching him until we left him in kind.
I
and my travel friend asked to be placed on the next plane as this was not our
fault. The easyJet supervisor’s attitude sort of changed as he said they as
easyJet will be charging us £110 each, to do this. It was again explained to
him that this was not our fault, and we were given wrong information about our
luggage. He continued to say we must pay as he started to look on his computer.
He wanted us to give him the lady easyJet staff identity and the male staff
identity from upstairs in the airport
also, he was on about both the staff who had sent us up and down in the
sections of the airport earlier and continued to say that we hadn’t paid for
any language at all and demanded to see any proof that we had paid twice, so I
showed him my receipts and continued to explain that I could not identify the
two members of staff and also it was important for me to be on the plane as I
had an appointment to get my teeth repaired, he finally accepted that what we
were both saying was the truth and continued by explaining that there is no
more planes until the 10th to where we were going from Gatwick to
Antalya until the 10-01-2025 and this was at 8am on the 8th January
2025 but he then continued by saying that he can place us on the plane that
leaves from Luton Airport if we could get there in the next two hours.
I
asked him if it was possible to do such a thing without a plane or a car and he
replied yes but it will be very tight. The easyJet supervisor manager then
started typing on his keyboard and changed the flights. He said he has booked
all our luggage onto the plane, and I asked him, is that for there and return
to which he replied yes, he then told me to take a screen shot of his computer
and we start to make our ways: --

The
race was on to Luton Airport from Gatwick, so from home to Gatwick to Luton to
Turkey Antalya and onto our hotel was our changed journey but the EasyJet staff
first told us we need to get on to the other side of the Airport again and onto
the Gatwick Airport Shuttle or otherwise known as the Gatwick Airport Inter-Terminal Shuttle. It operates frequently and provides
a quick and convenient way to transfer between the two terminals and typically
taking around 2-3 minutes, so we rushed of to get
onto it. The Terminal Shuttle was free to pay for but the train to Luton was
not and we should not have encored these additional costs.
·
Also, notice the numbers “1” and “2” after the
# hash key, in the “EasyJet Supervisor Manager Computer Screenshot,”
as these represent the three suite cases that we had to pay again for.
·
There is also another fact being that in the “EasyJet
Supervisor Manager Computer Screenshot,” the seats were put apart from
one to the other, when they were paid to be beside each other, as invoiced
below… Seats 0102 HK and 0202 HK.

Antalya,
Turkey, was not only my sister’s destination but also ours, and the excitement
was palpable! I reached out to the Dental Fly cab coordinator to confirm that
we were en route, but unfortunately, our flight times
had changed. The team was understanding and reassured us that they would still
be there to meet us at the airport, which eased my concerns.
Upon
our arrival at Antalya Airport, we encountered a bit of a hiccup. The Dental
Fly cab company was unreachable by phone, which left us feeling uncertain.
However, the airport scouts came to our rescue. They were incredibly kind and
stepped in to assist us, even though we had previously informed Dental Fly
about our flight changes.
Thanks
to their help, we managed to find a cab that promptly took us to our hotel. The
fare was reasonably priced at 1300 Turkish lira, which is roughly £30 a small
price to pay for such quick and friendly service. Despite the initial
communication challenges, the kindness of the airport staff truly made our
arrival in Antalya a pleasant one, setting a positive tone for our trip ahead!

The
drive to the hotel was a delightful 10 minutes, filled with beautiful scenery
along the way. By the time we arrived, it was quite late, but we were warmly
welcomed by the hotel’s night manager, whose kindness truly brightened our
evening as he escorted us to our room. His warm smile instantly made us feel at
home.
The
hotel itself was charming and thoughtfully situated, striking the perfect
balance between comfort and value. Although I could have chosen a more
luxurious option, I found that this lovely hotel exceeded my expectations. The
only minor detail was that some of the pictures suggested the rooms were
slightly larger than they actually were, but this didn’t detract from our
overall experience. Everything was pristine and conveniently accessible.
A
convenience store was just a quick 3-minute walk away, perfect for picking up
beach essentials, snacks, and a selection of refreshing beverages. We were
delighted to find an assortment of cocktails and local wines to enjoy in the
evenings, which added a nice touch to our stay. Additionally, we were only 5
minutes from the beach and an equal distance from a multitude of other
attractions.
After
settling in, we texted Dental Fly to inform them of our arrival, and the next
morning, we received confirmation that our transportation would be arranged
again, and indeed, it was. The spacious people carriers provided a comfortable
ride, taking us a swift 10 minutes to the dentist, located in the nearby town.
All
in all, our stay was delightful, and we felt well taken care of every step of
the way. The combination of excellent service, convenient amenities, and the
chance to unwind with a drink or snack made for a truly enjoyable experience.
DENTA
FLY CLINIC
Upon
arriving at Denta Fly Clinic, I was immediately impressed by its vibrant
atmosphere and modern design. Conveniently located, the clinic is easily
accessible, with cabs dropping patients right at the entrance, ensuring a
smooth experience for visitors. Nestled on a lively street lined with various
retail shops, the clinic benefits from a bustling ambiance. To my surprise,
there was a beautiful beach just behind the clinic, offering a tranquil escape
from the day's activities. The sense of community surrounding the clinic was
heartwarming, with friendly locals contributing to a welcoming environment that
made me feel right at home.
The
staff at Denta Fly were not only professional but also approachable, which put
me at ease. Upon entering the clinic, I was delighted to discover a cozy bar
area offering complimentary hot drinks and cold refreshments. While there were
options for alcoholic beverages, I opted for their superb coffee, which proved
to be an excellent pick-me-up.
The
check-in process was smooth, thanks to the attentive staff, and I was soon
greeted by the head consultant. He took the time to thoroughly explain my
recommended treatment plan, detailing the necessary procedures and outlining
any potential additional costs. I greatly appreciated his transparency; it was
clear he understood my need for straightforward information, especially as
someone without a dental background.
After
the consultation, I left feeling confident in the proposed treatment plan and
even proceeded to pay for it, despite initially believing we had reached an
agreement during the first consultation. However, knowing I was in capable
hands alleviated my concerns, making the decision to proceed much easier. My
priority was to receive top-notch medical care at a fair price, and Denta Fly
Clinic reassured me that their commitment to quality would meet my
expectations, justifying the costs involved.

The
Work on my teeth continued over the next couple of days
ON
THE WAY HOME
I booked the flights before I left, and,
in the website, it had a section that I clicked for Additional Baggage
Allowance was the story I was explaining to the airline assistant, when trying
to book our baggage in to them.
THE PLANE FROM ANTALYA TO GATWICK WAS
WITH SUN-EXPRESS
We
got picked up from our hotel by the Dentafly cab and arrived at the airport
well in time of time set. We went to book our bags onto the plane and were told
we needed to pay again.
We
showed all our receipts and even explained that the manager from Gatwick
airport had given us a screenshot of his computer when he transferred us to
Luton, and he had explained that he had added all of our luggage.
She
explained that the booking agent has only just paid for the tickets at £30 pounds each and I
was to take it up with them afterwards and she continued to explain that to her
understanding the booking agent has not paid for any luggage back whatsoever
and that they had only paid for the way there. She pulled out cards and showed
me that all suite cases are to be charged for, and this is why I was forced to
pay again. She offered a discount price for our two small suite cases and one
larger one. As priced below.
On
my return trip, I experienced several issues with my flight. I initially flew
with easyJet on flight U26519, an economy class Airbus A320, and returned with
Sunexpress on flight XQ590, a Boeing 737 MAX 8 in economy class. Unfortunately,
I was informed by Sunexpress that no baggage fees had been paid for on my
return flight, and I was required to pay an additional £69.63 for all of
my luggage.
The
representative explained that suitcases could only be taken as hand luggage if
I paid for them as extras. She referenced a pricing policy card that indicated
the limitations on hand luggage. According to her, hand luggage was restricted
to bags, handbags, gym bags, or rucksacks, explicitly excluding suitcases.
Smaller suitcases were charged at around £40 each for hand luggage, while
larger ones cost over £60; however, she also offered all three pieces of
luggage for a total of £69.63.
I
felt frustrated and embarrassed by the situation, as the airline's policies
were unclear at the time of my ticket purchase. The trip.com website was
particularly confusing during the booking process, ultimately resulting in
double charges. While the website advised checking the Sunexpress site for
guidelines, Sunexpress did not charge for suitcases intended as carry-on
baggage.
Furthermore,
the options for add-on baggage allowance on the trip.com website misled us into
believing that the majority of airlines followed the same policy, which was not
the case. It appears that trip.com, as the booking agency, is aware of these
discrepancies and is profiting unethically by advertising add-on baggage
allowances that are not necessary.
In
my case, the baggage allowance was not included in my itinerary, despite being
confirmed in my purchased baggage allowance. To complicate matters, the section
on the website detailing my free baggage allowance, a "Personal
Item" stated I was allowed one piece per person, weighing up to 15
kg, with dimensions not exceeding 45x36x20 cm, which must
fit “under the seat in front of me” and this could not be a “Suitcase,” due
to it being a "Personal Item."

https://www.thameslinkrailway.com/help-and-support/delay-repay Subject: Claim for Compensation Due to Train Delays and
Associated Issues Dear Southern Railway Customer Service, I am writing to formally file a claim for compensation due to
significant disruptions to my travel on January 12, 2025. My planned journey
from Gatwick to London Bridge was severely impacted by the cancellation of
train services, which resulted in additional expenses and a loss of
productivity. Journey Details:
Caption: Purchase of
Train Travel Tickets X2: Ticket price £11:90 each X2 =
£23.80
Upon arrival at Gatwick, I learned that the scheduled train services
were cancelled, and a coach service was provided instead. We were given only 45
minutes to reach our cab pickup point. The coach journey took
approximately 45 minutes to reach an alternate train station before we
could continue our journey, and I took a picture while on the train as below:
-- Caption: Coach
service provided as an alternative to train travel. Caption: Late Train
service provided as an alternative to travel.
Once at London Bridge, my attempts to contact the cab driver were
unsuccessful, as the timing of our arrival did not allow for proper
communication. I enlisted the assistance of my uncle, who was able to attempt
to reach the cab company on our behalf. Unfortunately, we were informed that
we could not recover our booking or fees for the taxi we missed. Caption: Cab Booking
Booked at The Same Time with Train Tickets: Cab Price £51:50p
Consequently, we had to take the Route 149 bus to Edmonton Green
while managing multiple suitcases. Below is the bus fare on January 13, 2025: Caption: TFL travel
charge for bus fare on January 13, 2025. This is x2 but you can only click
the wallet once on a bus: Bus Fees £1:75p X2 = £3:50p
Upon arriving in Edmonton Green, I opted for a cab as it was more
affordable than attempting to recover the missed booking. Caption: Cab from
Edmonton Green: Cab Fare Edmonton: £13.00p
Impact: The delays not only caused distress but also led to fatigue, making it
impossible for me to prepare dinner upon arriving home. As a result, I was
forced to order food, an expense I wouldn't have incurred had I arrived on
time. Caption: Dinner
Receipt: Dinner Bill: £25.00p More significantly, I lost an entire
day of work that I had planned to dedicate to developing my business. This
lack of productivity stems from unexpected delays caused by the train
service's operational failures and were not a result of any fault on our part
as customers. Based on my potential earnings from business development
activities, I estimate the value of my lost time to be £80. Web linked as: Horrific Corruption: Uncovering the Dark
Truth's….. Caption: Lost
Downtime: Lost Downtime: £80.00p Compensation Request: It is crucial to note that the failure to board was not due to our
actions as passengers, but rather the result of train cancellations and
delays. Therefore, I am requesting compensation under the delay repay
scheme, which compensates passengers for inconvenience and financial
losses incurred due to service disruptions. According to the scheme, for
delays of 120+ minutes, passengers are entitled to 100% of the cost of the
fare paid, whether it was for a single or return ticket. I am claiming
compensation for the alternative transport fare and any additional expenses
incurred during this period. Here are the specific amounts I am
claiming: 1.
Lost Downtime: £80.00p 2.
Dinner Bill: £25.00p 3.
Cab Fare Edmonton: £13.00p 4. Bus Fees £1:75p X2 = £3:50p 5. Cab Price £51:50p 6. Ticket price £11:90p each X2 =
£23.80p ----- Total Amount Is **
£196.80p I have included all relevant documentation and imagery to support my
claim. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to
your prompt response. Sincerely, Simon Paul Cordell 109 Burncroft Avenue Enfield,

Hotel Review I recently stayed at the House NFK Hotel and had a wonderful experience. The staff and managers were incredibly friendly and accommodating, making my stay even more enjoyable. The facility was exactly as described and met all my expectations perfectly. The location was fantastic, with local shops just a 2-minute walk away and the beach only a 5-minute stroll. The area was lovely, and the people were warm and welcoming. The hotel is ideal for guests aged 40 and above, with plenty of restaurants and bars catering to adults. Additionally, the vibrant nightlife was just a 5-minute cab ride away. There was so much to see and do that I couldn't fit it all into my 2-week stay. I would definitely go back to explore more. The healthcare centers were conveniently located around us, and the marketplace bazaar was a great experience, offering a variety of unique items and local delicacies. The hotel is also great for younger guests who are mature or need a safe place to allocate themselves in peace. The environment is calm and secure, making it an ideal spot for relaxation and rejuvenation. Overall, my stay at the House NFK Hotel was delightful, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation. |

To AI Edge Ok I went to turkey to Antalya
to a company called Dentafly but before I left I sent picture through what’s
app of my teeth and received a quote of 1325 pounds the invoice stated I will
receive STRAUMMAN NEODENT IMPLANTS N ABUTMENTS
2 IMPLANTs but when I got there I see their head dentist and he
advise me to get better ones named Hiossen NH Hydrophilic Implants and one
extra crown which we never realized I needed. He quoted 375 for the extras.
The price of the crows is £125 pounds as in the invoice above, so he charged
an extra £250 pounds for the implant upgrades as I was told. I have got home now and
checked the first invoiced and it has a section with pictures and texted
titled as Dental Implants Which brands we are working with and
states Hiossen NH Hydrophilic Implants 490 pounds and Straumann BLX Implants
750 pounds. so, he charged me more and
give me rubbish ones by the pricing in their invoice. The image below is from the
invoice and proves the original Implant make!
The image provided below is
also from the first invoice and serves as evidence of the pricing listed in
their advertisements. It is important to note that there are six distinct
brands featured, accompanied by only three images. This potentially leads to
confusion, as each brand has its own unique pricing structure. Upon reviewing
their website, it becomes clear that these brands should each have their own
corresponding images; however, this is not the case. Furthermore, the layout is
compounded by the presence of only two divider lines, which implies that each
section contains multiple advertisements rather than a single advertisement
per brand. This setup undermines the clarity of the pricing information, as
it suggests a mix of prices for two different products within the same
section.
Evidence that these brands
should each have their own corresponding images, as they are their own brands,
is as below! https://dentafly.com/treatments/antalya-implant-treatment/
This is their website link: https://dentafly.com There website states: Vision a. As Dentafly, we aim to ensure the
satisfaction of patients and their relatives with the health services we
provide, and to set a model for Turkey with its team. In digital dentistry,
it is aimed to be a center where support is provided after treatment, with

Implant, and Straumann Swiss Implant since 2006. He wrote on a piece of paper the name of the recommended implant
upgrades and that is as follows: --

customer support by phone or service chat immediately. We will work to
resolve the problem as soon as possible. If The Bill Is Not Over 2000
Pounds, Then Free Accommodation Is Not Included! ·
I would like to also share another part of my experience
regarding the dental implant consultation process I underwent. During my
initial consultation, I was assured that I would only need one visit to
Turkey to complete the implant procedure. However, during the second
consultation, I was given a revised quote and asked to make a payment, which
I promptly did, trusting that the work would be completed on the originally
agreed-upon timeline. ·
To my surprise, it was only on the last day of my visit
that I learned this would not be the case. I was informed that I would need
to return for additional appointments, a decision I was told was made based
on the best medical treatment plan for my situation. While I understand the
importance of prioritizing my health, I can't help but feel that the lack of
communication regarding this change throughout both consultations was
concerning. ·
Due to the unforeseen need for a follow-up visit, I now
face additional travel expenses that I had not budgeted for. ·
This situation has been made more complicated because,
although I had hoped to qualify for complimentary accommodation based on
spending over £2,000 with the clinic the original quote did not qualify but
now with the additional costs arising from the second quote—along with the
work required on my bottom teeth— the new treatment plan has brought my total
bill with Dentafly to over that threshold. ·
I was initially led to believe that meeting this spending
requirement would ease my financial burden but yet have not felt that support
and due to the unexpected expenses of attending the clinic for a second time
I feel that Dentafly has turned this into a source of stress that I hope the
click compensates me for. ·
I would also like to state that the excellent service
provided by the staff, who offered welcoming amenities such as a
complimentary bar and impeccably clean waiting areas that boast a high-class
ambiance, that I still felt uninformed at critical stages of the process.
This lack of clarity only became apparent after I made my payment, and on the
day before my departure. ·
In summary, while I appreciate the high standards of care
and the pleasant environment, I believe more transparent communication
throughout the issue I rase as concern during the process I incurred would
have significantly enhanced my overall experience at the clinic. |

What’s better and
cost more Neodent, dental implant or et nh implant
that maybe otherwise known as Hiossen NH Hydrophillic implants and what’s the
difference plz Both Neodent and
Hiossen NH Hydrophilic implants are reputable options, but they have some
differences in terms of cost and features. Neodent
Implants
Hiossen NH
Hydrophilic Implants
Key Differences
Ultimately, the
choice between Neodent and Hiossen NH Hydrophilic implants depends on your
specific needs, budget, and the recommendation of your dental professional. What are the
healing times of these implants I got told 3 months for one or 4 weeks for
thew other is this true The healing times
for dental implants can vary based on the type of implant and the
individual's healing process. Here's a comparison of the healing times for
Neodent and Hiossen NH Hydrophilic implants: Neodent Implants
Hiossen NH
Hydrophilic Implants
So, it is true that
Hiossen NH Hydrophilic implants can have a shorter healing time compared to
Neodent implants, which typically require a longer period for complete
osseointegration. If you have any
more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask! |

£750, while website states £890. b.

in Information**: a.
Differences in prices listed on the website compared
to the invoices, suggesting inaccurate or misleading information was
provided. 6. **Inconsistent
Pricing**: a.
Various prices for the same implants across different
invoices and the website led to confusion and distrust. 7. **Bait and
Switch**: a.
Practice of advertising one price and charging a
higher price upon arrival could be interpreted as unethical and potentially
illegal. 8. **Additional
Charges**: a.
Extra charges for an additional crown and two
implants were misleading and not initially clear. 9. **Downgrade in
Quality**: a.
The recommendation to switch to a different brand of
implants (Hiossen) was perceived as a upgrade grade
from what was originally agreed (Straumann implants). 10. **Discount
Confusion**: a.

leading to discrepancies in expected versus actual billing.

Mr. Simon Paul Cordell 109 Burncroft Avenue Enfield, London, EN3 7JQ re_wired@ymail.com +447864217519 Date: 22nd January 2025 Customer Service Trip.com Subject: Request for Compensation Due to Misleading Information and Associated Costs Dear Trip.com Customer Service, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to formally submit a complaint regarding my recent travel experience booked through your platform, which has resulted in significant financial losses and considerable stress for myself and Travel Partner. On January 5, 2025, I booked a round trip from Antalya to London for myself and a companion via Trip.com. During the booking process, I specifically selected the option for "Additional Baggage Allowance," which was advertised at £44.70 for an additional 15 kg, suitcase. I believed that by choosing this option, I had secured the necessary allowance for our larger suitcase. However, upon our arrival at the airport, we encountered severe complications that were exacerbated by misleading information on your website. After checking in at the airport, I placed our larger suitcase on the scale, only to be prompted by the easyJet system to pay an additional £40 for checked baggage. I found this perplexing, as I had believed I had already paid for this service through Trip.com. I sought assistance from an easyJet representative, who kindly reviewed our booking with us. Unfortunately, she explained that the large suitcase had not been booked onto the plane. This crucial miscommunication indicated that Trip.com had misled us into thinking we had paid for a fully checked suitcase when, in fact, we had merely paid for an allowance for extra carriage. While rushing to address this issue, we encountered further complications, waiting in lines and dealing with additional staff who directed us back and forth without resolution. Ultimately, I had to pay another £40 to properly check the suitcase, which compounded the confusion we were already experiencing. After checking the luggage, we hurried back upstairs only to arrive at our gate to find it closed and not due to any delay on our part, but because of the time wasted navigating the miscommunications and multiple interactions with airport staff. This experience was both distressing and humiliating, causing us further inconvenience as we scrambled to understand our situation and seek help. In addition to the baggage fees, the constant back-and-forth also resulted in additional train fare incurred as I rushed to make a new flight connection at Luton Airport, which amounted to £XX , as well as food and drink expenses at Luton Airport, totaling £YY . I have attached the corresponding receipts for each of these expenditures. Following this, while traveling back on January 12 with Sunexpress, we again discovered that no clear options for baggage were available on your website. Once more, I was informed that nothing had been paid for in terms of baggage. I was forced to pay an additional £60 to check our suitcases, under the impression that hand luggage restrictions allowed only smaller bags, which proved to be false. The staff explained that larger suitcases would incur additional fees, further compounding the confusion concerning what I believed was already taken care of during the booking. Throughout both journeys, I experienced a lack of clarity concerning baggage policies, which I felt was compounded by Trip.com's and the airline’s misleading communications. Thus far, I have incurred additional baggage fees of £160, plus further unexpected expenses for train tickets and food purchased during our delays amounting to £XX and £YY, respectively. I have attached the corresponding receipts for each of these expenditures, which could easily exceed my original expectations for the trip. Given the severe inconvenience and financial losses, I incurred during this process, I firmly believe my situation warrants a reassessment of your posted "Flight Price Guarantee and Booking Guarantee Terms & Conditions." I understand that the maximum possible compensation stated is a refund of the cost of my original flight ticket along with a free ticket for a replacement flight. However, I request that you take into account the following points supporting my position for greater compensation: 1)
Misleading
Information: a. The advertisement for "Additional Baggage Allowance" was unclear and led me to believe that I had fully secured a larger suitcase. While I understood there would be additional costs, the information provided by your platform was, at best, misleading and likely inadequate for a customer to make an informed decision. 2)
Consumer Protection
Laws: a. Numerous countries have consumer protection laws that require businesses to provide accurate and clear information about the services they sell. If the information presented on your platform did not fulfill these requirements, I feel there is a duty to provide compensation that reflects the financial losses incurred. 3)
Terms and
Conditions Review: a.
The inconsistency in the
advertised baggage allowances between the outbound and return flights raises
questions about the compliance of the terms and conditions set forth on your
website. They did not align with my experiences while traveling. Given these
discrepancies, I believe I should be entitled to compensation beyond the
stated guarantees. 4)
Exceptional
Circumstances: a. If an error on Trip.com's part led to significant financial losses beyond the cost of the original flight, it seems fair to consider compensatory measures for the additional expenses accrued due to the lack of transparency and the ensuing travel ordeal. 5)
Customer Service
Resolution: a. I encourage Trip.com to address this situation fairly, as customer loyalty and satisfaction play crucial roles in maintaining a positive company image. I believe I am entitled to the reimbursement of the additional baggage fees, unexpected travel costs, food expenses, and appropriate compensation for the distress and disruption this experience caused. I kindly request your prompt attention to this matter and look forward to a positive resolution. Attached are the receipts for the additional baggage, travel costs, and food expenses, along with relevant documentation for your review. Thank you for your understanding. Best regards, Mr. Simon Paul Cordell 109 Burncroft Avenue Enfield, London, EN3 7JQ re_wired@ymail.com +447864217519 Date: 22nd January 2025 Unfortunately,
I encountered significant issues relating to the baggage policy information,
and website or personal staff making incorrect booking details, which
ultimately led to financial loss and disrupted my holiday. While I
appreciate the variety of flight options you provide, the lack of clear
communication regarding baggage allowances was extremely frustrating. I was
made to rely on visual guides that were misleading and lacked sufficient
clarity, resulting in unexpected costs for additional baggage and
considerable inconvenience during my travel. Unfortunately, my experience was
far from satisfactory. I would like
to formally request a refund for the fees and extra fees incurred due to the
miscommunication and also regarding baggage policies. Clear, textual
descriptions of baggage allowances would greatly enhance the user experience
and help prevent similar issues for future customers. As someone
accustomed to clear communication in professional settings, I found the
reliance on color-coded images for baggage information frustrating and
confusing. Instead of easy-to-understand text descriptions, I was faced with
visual aids that changed without notice, leaving me uncertain about what I
could bring on my flight. This
confusion ultimately led to unexpected costs and logistical challenges during
my trip, making it difficult to fully enjoy my holiday. A clearer, text-based
explanation of baggage policies would have allowed me to make informed
decisions and avoid the stress and financial loss I experienced. Travelers
expect professionalism and transparency when booking flights, and I believe
that Trip.com could significantly improve its user experience by implementing
straightforward and consistent text-based information regarding baggage
allowances. In summary, while I appreciate the service
Trip.com provides in helping travelers find flights, the ambiguity
surrounding baggage policies led to a disappointing experience that detracted
from my holiday. I hope that they will work towards enhancing communication
to prevent future customers from facing similar challenges. |

· I would like to formally address several other key issues I have encountered while using the Trip.com website, particularly concerning the "Farecards" feature and the overall user experience. 1) Inconsistent Farecard Availability: Each time I navigate the Trip.com website, I notice that the available Farecards vary not only in options but also in quantities. For instance, in the images provided, I observed four Farecards indicating that checked baggage was not included. This inconsistency can easily go unnoticed, especially since the options are not always visible without scrolling horizontally or selecting specific filters. Consequently, this variability creates confusion regarding the Farecards and the associated baggage policies. 2) Navigation Challenges: The constant changes in Farecards contribute to a confusing website experience. Users often miss critical information about their flight options because they aren’t readily visible, or available. This lack of clarity can lead to misunderstandings about what is included in a fare and what additional costs might be incurred later. 3) Expired Search Results: Another issue I have faced is the quick expiration of search results. The first-come, first-served nature of Trip.com’s pricing model compels users to make hasty decisions, which I find to be unfair. For example, I often encounter messages stating that flight prices may have changed due to inactivity. This prompts me to restart my search process, leading to frustration and ultimately resulting in different flight options and varied Farecards as well as policies. As Imaged Below
4) Unfair Pressure to Commit: The combination of unpredictable Farecard availability, navigation difficulties, and constantly changing search results imposes undue pressure on me and other users to commit to purchases without fully understanding the terms. This experience does not foster confidence in making informed travel decisions. ·
In conclusion, the
above-mentioned issues collectively create a negative user experience that
not only complicates the process of booking flights but also detracts from
the overall legitimacy of the Trip.com platform. I urge you to consider these
concerns seriously and take steps to improve the user interface and
experience on your website. Thank you for your attention to this matter. |

7. **Baggage Allowance
Confusion**
·
First Options About
Baggage: This is when the first options are given to us about baggage as we are
given options to select about them in the Farecards. ·
Unfair Image Sizes: Two small images that are hard to tell from one to the
other. ·
No Image of The Rack
Sack or Gym Bag: that is permitted to
be carried as a “Personal Item,” leading you to wait to understand
more of what is allowed, before you really commit to picking your options or
learn to find the “Baggage Allowance & Policies” by clicking on the
weblink that only turns blue when hovered over, making you not realise it’s a
weblink. ·
Failure Mentioning of
Sizes: that are to be allowed or disallowed, are a no unless another fare card shows a number suspected
to be a number of objects to be permitted and a weight of that permitted. ·
Lack of Clarity on Size
Restrictions: The website fails to
clearly specify the size restrictions for permitted items unless users locate
the “Baggage Allowance & Policies” link. This link only turns blue when
hovered over, which may lead users to overlook it, not realizing it’s a
clickable link. Even if users find this section, they might encounter
greyed-out text indicating restrictions, such as “Each piece cannot exceed 40 × 30 × 15
cm in size,” making you believe it is not an active part of the policy due to
not being in black text. These errors create
confusion, as users can mistakenly assume that this size limit applies
universally across all airlines and flights, when in fact it does not. The
absence of clear and prominent explanations misleads clients, as the
information is not presented in a straightforward manner for easy
understanding. ·
Farecard Package Deals: In most cases all the “Farecards.” Package
deals for “Baggage,” are selections for just one person meaning
you will have to make modifications to the packages at a later time if there
is more than one of you and for this reason, the lowest Farecard was selected
by myself. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
8. **Pop-up Policy Information
Sections ·
When clicking links for more baggage details, another
slide-in pop-up appears with the following menus:
a. Booking Information, b. Baggage Allowance, and c. Flight Cancellation & Change Policies. This is a screenshot of the
webpage:
·
The Booking Information section provides
details about frequent flyer miles, ticket issuing times, and passenger
number restrictions, this section has no relevance to baggage allowance. ·
The Baggage Allowance Whatever package deal
is in the “Farecard.” You select and click on from the first
popup will be shown in the “Baggage Allowance & Policies,”
as the policy/rules allowed, and this causes confusion, with the reasons
being if you select an economy “Farecard.” with “Baggage Allowance.” It’s hard
if not impossible as a client to understand that the website will auto update
the policies to suite the packages from the “Farecard,” you selected
and that the “Baggage Allowance & Policies” are not a set of
permanent rules that do not change thought the clients selected experience in
the website. i.e. if a person clicks on an expensive “Farecard,” and
then reads the policy section of the website and gets timed out
then they do not understand that the policy may have changed due to
selecting different available tickets or “Farecards.” ·
The Baggage Allowance section also comprises unclear images representing baggage
types (e.g., Personal Item, Carry-on Baggage, Checked Baggage) without
explicit descriptions as the tiles used such as: -- a.
Personal Item does not include the word “Rack sack” b.
Carry-on Baggage does not include the word “Suitcase” c.
Checked Baggage does not include the word “Suitcase” ·
The Baggage Allowance section does not include the names of the image and there is no
website underwriting that explains that the images do change colour and that
this means if greyed out “no” and if a colored image this means “yes,”
throughout user experience and this leads to confusion. ·
A note is sometime provided that quotes “Additional
baggage allowance can be purchased on the information entry page” and
leads to confusion as to when you next have to put human intervention
into the site this leads you to believing that the next page opened by the
site once clicked in the “Farecard.” will tailor for the “Additional
baggage allowance that can be purchased” but does not in a clear and fair
manner. The “Additional baggage allowance should mean as it is described in
text and that would be to add additional baggage allowance to your holiday,
not as Carry-on Baggage as most expect is free of charge. ·
Carry-on Baggage Please
contact airline for detailed baggage regulations. This is a screenshot of the
webpage:
·
Now they are all blue so, if you see this for the first
time you would believe this is the policy for all baggage allowance, due to
there being no underwriting explaining this, also, the text and weights
change, without notice. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|

in blue with the text “Book,”
·
Due to most of the farecards not having an option for two
people to carry the required amounts of baggage it becomes more visible to
select the lowest priced farecard, leaving you to wait to apply any
additional baggage allowances later in the booking process. |

Frequent Confusion a.
There are numerous instances where the
information changes unexpectedly or is presented in a way that leads to
misunderstandings, such as the additional baggage purchases that are mentioned but not clearly explained. b.
Regulations on Special Baggage
Allowance Each
airline has different regulations on special baggage (such as musical
instruments, sports equipment, etc.). “Therefore,
for baggage other than regular backpacks and suitcases,” we
recommend checking the baggage regulations on the airline's website or
contacting our customer support before travelin c.
Special baggage regulations for items like musical
instruments or sports equipment vary by airline and are recommended to be
checked directly on the airline's website. But they are clear that this is
not necessary for “Regular Backpacks and
Suitcases!” ·
Decision Pressure a.
Overall, the experience is marred by a sense
of urgency and pressure to quickly finalize your booking, which can lead to
frustration and anxiety about securing the best deal. |

16. Within the bottom header
of the webpage is the following text: -- Extract from Trip.com: --
a.
More convenient and affordable would mean having a clearer
baggage system put into place within the website and with clear policies that
are wrote out in a text format were they do not change as tickets are
selected and also, if images are used and the change of their colour to
facilitate the “Baggage Allowance & Policies,” then a text format for client-side
public awareness should be attached and not images when address Policies.
i.e. as adults in UK we are aware that images are used in necessity
schools to aid in our development but as we grow up these skills are less
used unless put into emergency situation. i.e. like emergency signs above
doors. When booking a holiday or flight it is a more professional outfit you
are expecting, and you tend to look for the Finner print and fail to understand
if images are being used, and their color change demonstrates certain aspects
of the price you pay or holiday you entail. If you as a client have only used
or seen this website once, then you will not have a fair chance of
understanding due to the lack of explanations unless you are looking to
select all these things again and again and hope to notice these changes for
yourself and protection of funds available and this is not fair. b.
Also, in the bottom footer of the website is this: Other Services
**Enhancing the Booking
Experience** a.
While Trip.com provides excellent flight options, there is room for improvement in
the clarity of baggage policies. A more streamlined and transparent
system would significantly enhance user satisfaction. Clear text descriptions of baggage allowances and policies, rather
than relying heavily on images that change in color, would help travelers
make informed decisions. b.
For instance, adults are accustomed to reading and
understanding text-based information in professional contexts, yet the
current reliance on visual aids can lead to confusion. When booking flights,
customers expect a professional and straightforward approach, including clear
and consistent policies that remain unchanged throughout the selection
process. c.
Visual aids can be helpful for educational purposes,
particularly in childhood development, but in situations like flight
bookings, detailed textual explanations are far more effective. When
navigating a booking site, travelers should not have to re-evaluate images or
decipher fluctuating color codes in order to comprehend crucial information
about baggage allowances and policies. **The Importance of Clear
Communication** a.
Transparent communication surrounding baggage policies can
significantly enhance user experience. Clear, concise text-based information
will empower travelers to understand their choices better, ensuring they feel
confident and informed while booking their flights. b.
In summary, while Trip.com provides valuable services for
finding flights, implementing a clearer system for baggage allowances using
straightforward text rather than changing imagery will create a more
user-friendly environment and facilitate a smoother booking process. |

charge for additional baggage, including small suitcases, but the ones that
do are for several reasons:
These factors contribute to why even small suitcases are often charged
as additional baggage. Yes,
but a rack sack is allowed at a set weight as once was a small suitcase so
what year did this change and why The shift in airline baggage policies, particularly regarding the size
and weight of carry-on luggage, has evolved over the years due to various
factors. One significant
change occurred in 2015 when the International Air Transport Association
(IATA) issued guidelines to standardize the size of carry-on luggage.
The recommended dimensions were set to optimize the use of overhead bin space
and maintain cabin safety and comfort. This led many major airlines to adopt
these new dimensions, which are generally smaller than previous allowances. Additionally, budget airlines have further tightened their carry-on
policies in recent years to generate additional revenue. For example, since
2018, airlines like Ryanair, easyJet, and Wizz Air have reduced the maximum
dimensions allowed for free carry-on bags. This change was driven by the need
to maximize profits and manage the limited space in the cabin more
efficiently. The introduction of these stricter regulations and fees for carry-on
luggage has been a way for airlines to offset high operating costs and
encourage passengers to adhere to weight and size restrictions. This shift
has also been influenced by heightened security measures and the need to
streamline boarding processes. https://www.trip.com/pages/customer-service/ |

18. ++++++++++ On the return trip,
I encountered issues with my flight. I flew with easyJet on flight U26519,
which was an economy class Airbus A320, and then returned with Sunexpress on
flight XQ590, which was a Boeing 737 MAX 8 in economy class. Unfortunately,
there were no options for baggage on the website, and Sunexpress informed me
that no baggage fees had been paid for my return flight. They demanded an
additional £60 for luggage, so I had to pay again. The representative
explained that suitcases could only be taken as hand luggage if I paid for
them as extras. The policy stated that hand luggage was limited to bags,
handbags, gym bags, or rucksacks, but did not include suitcases. Smaller
suitcases were priced at £40 each for hand luggage, while larger ones cost
£60. However, the representative offered to allow all three pieces of luggage
for a total of £69.63. I felt frustrated
and embarrassed by the situation, as the airline's policies were unclear when
I purchased my tickets. As imaged above!
· Inconsistent Weight Allowance: The personal item weight allowance differs significantly between the two flights. For the London to Antalya flight, it's 15 kg, while for the Antalya to London flight, it's only 4 kg. This inconsistency can be confusing for passengers. · Lack of Detailed Information: The return flight's personal item allowance states, "Please contact the airline for detailed baggage policies," which is vague and unhelpful. Passengers need clear and specific information about what is allowed. · No Free Carry-on or Checked Baggage: Both flights mention no free carry-on or checked baggage allowance, which might be unusual for some airlines and could lead to unexpected additional costs for passengers. · Size Restrictions: The dimensions for the personal item on the London to Antalya flight are specified (45x36x20 cm), but there's no mention of size restrictions for the return flight. This lack of information can cause confusion and potential issues at the airport. · Placement of Personal Items: Both flights state that personal items must be placed under the seat in front of you. However, the significant weight difference (15 kg vs. 4 kg) raises questions about the practicality and safety of placing a 15 kg item under the seat. · Potential Miscommunication: The booking page does not clearly define what constitutes a personal item, which can lead to misunderstandings and issues during boarding. · Inconsistent Policies: The differences in baggage policies between the outbound and return flights can create confusion and inconvenience for passengers who might expect consistent rules for both legs of their journey.

Unfortunately, baggage exceeding this weight cannot be accepted at check-in.
Baggage weighing between 23 kg and 32 kg is

Airline-Specific
Changes
Beliefs And Non-Beliefs, Miffs a.
The rules for carrying personal items on planes have
evolved over time. Initially, there was no significant distinction between
the types of items you could carry, whether it was a rucksack, bag, or
suitcase. However, as air travel became more
popular and security measures tightened, some airlines began to implement
more specific regulations and trip advisors and themselves fail to make this
clear when selling their products or services. b.
The space provided above your head, known as the
overhead bin, is typically used for larger carry-on items such as suitcases,
duffel bags, and larger backpacks. Airlines have specific size and weight
limits for these items, so it's important to check with your airline and trip
advisors for the guidelines. Key Milestones in
Carry-On Rules
Modern Regulations: Today, most airlines have specific guidelines for carry-on luggage
and personal items. These rules vary by airline but generally include size and weight limits. Personal items are
typically defined as items that can fit
under the seat in front of you, such as a purse, laptop bag, or small
backpack. There have been other instances where both Sunexpress and
EasyJet have faced complaints and legal actions related to their
baggage policies and advertising practices. ·
For Sunexpress, there have been reports of
passengers experiencing issues with damaged or delayed baggage, as well as complaints about the clarity of their
baggage policies. ·
EasyJet has also faced similar issues.
There have been complaints about their baggage
policies, particularly regarding the size and weight limits for
carry-on and checked baggage. Some passengers

I clicked for additional baggage as
an add on and they took 44......70p/15kg and then I got to the airport, but
they said I never added luggage and demanded more money. I feel mislead by

Allowance From £44.70/15 kg and I believed that was my additional suite case

20. ++++++++++++++ How much money based on number attending or any other
available information online does Stansted Heathrow and Luton airports make
on carry on baggage inclusive of the booking company’s
per day, week, year, each? The revenue generated by airports from carry-on
baggage fees can vary significantly based on several factors, including the
number of passengers, the specific policies of the airlines operating at the
airport, and the fees charged for carry-on baggage. Here’s a general overview
based on available information: London Stansted Airport

London Luton Airport
General Insights
While specific daily, weekly, or yearly revenue from
carry-on baggage fees alone is not typically disclosed, it is clear that
these fees form an integral part of the overall revenue generated by airports
from passenger services. For precise figures, it would be necessary to access
detailed financial reports from the respective airports or airlines. Based on the information I found,
here's a summary of the revenue generated by airports from carry-on baggage
fees and the number of bags transported: Revenue from Carry-on Baggage Fees
Number of Carry-on Bags Transported

21---. The Return Flight Was also a
Negative Experience. This was partly
due to the trip.com website being confusing to use, as confusing as it is
that I paid for Carry-on baggage on departure was as confusing as it became
when being able to understand whether I had paid for the return also.
Possible Issues
Steps to Resolve
I'm really sorry to hear about your frustrating
experience with the baggage allowance on your trip. It sounds like there were several issues with the
clarity of the information provided by Trip.com and the airlines. Key Issues
Steps to Resolve
When booking a return flight on websites like Trip.com, I've noticed a
concerning pattern: the return flights often come with limited or no luggage
allowances, leaving travelers feeling trapped and forced to pay additional
fees. This situation feels fundamentally unfair, especially since many of us
are unaware of these baggage policies when making our initial bookings. The inconsistency in baggage allowances between outbound and return
flights can lead to unexpected costs that travelers are not informed about
beforehand. This lack of transparency requires us to painstakingly review
baggage policies for both legs of our journey on both booking sites and
airline websites before our booking time expires. Unfortunately, the information provided is often misleading and not
clearly communicated, which undermines our ability to make informed choices.
Given these circumstances, I believe I have valid grounds to file a complaint
with both the airline and the booking website. I also plan to seek advice
from consumer protection agencies on how to address this issue effectively, unless of course a fair agreement
can be settled. |

confusing. However, when you select an option from the dropdown menu, it
gives you a specific price for each brand. Here are the options and their
prices from the dropdown menu:

When I click the site, I select two
adults for flights. It states £79 pounds departure for a round trip. I
selected it. Then it says departing £97 if I add these up its £176 but it
gives me a total of £192.40. Then I select that in the farecard,
and it takes me to this Tickets (2 Adults): £192.40 Adults (Passenger 1, Passenger 2):
£96.20 × 2 Fare: £24.40 × 2 Taxes & fees: £71.80 × 2 Baggage: Checked baggage: Not
included Carry-on baggage: Not included Personal item: Free But why can’t I add up the tickets
and get the same price also why can’t I add the fare price or taxes and fee
price to that to get the same sums. What’s it all for? I understand your confusion. The pricing on Trip.com can
sometimes be a bit tricky to decipher. Here's a breakdown of what's
happening: 1. Initial Price Displayed: o £79 for a round trip (base fare without additional fees or taxes). 2. Updated Price: o £97 for the departing ticket (this includes some additional fees). 3. Final Price Breakdown: o Tickets (2 Adults): £192.40 § Adults (Passenger 1, Passenger 2): £96.20 × 2 § Fare: £24.40 × 2 § Taxes & fees: £71.80 × 2 The total of £192.40 includes the base fare, taxes, and fees for both passengers. The initial prices you see (£79 and £97) do not include all the additional charges that are added later in the booking process. So, when you add up the base fare (£24.40 × 2) and the taxes & fees (£71.80 × 2), you get the total cost for each passenger (£96.20), and for two passengers, it sums up to £192.40. I hope this clarifies the pricing
breakdown for you. If you have any more questions or need further assistance,
feel free to ask! So,
£24.40 is the price of a ticket there and back without fees? Yes, that's correct! The base fare of £24.40 per adult is
the cost of the ticket itself, without any additional fees or taxes. This
amount is separate from the taxes and fees, which are £71.80 per adult. When
combined, these amounts make up the total ticket price of £96.20 per adult. So, for two adults, the total ticket price is £192.40, which includes
the base fare, taxes, and fees. I hope this clears things up! If you have any more
questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask. How
can I split the taxes and fees to know what they are? To understand the breakdown of taxes and fees, you can
usually find this information in the detailed fare breakdown on the booking
page. However, if it's not explicitly listed, here's a general idea of what
these charges might include:
Unfortunately, the exact breakdown of these fees is not
always provided by the booking platform. You might need to contact Trip.com's
customer service for a detailed explanation of the taxes and fees included in
your ticket price. You can find more details on their
customer service page. I hope this helps! If you have any more questions or need
further assistance, feel free to ask. Can
you find it in their website plz I checked Trip.com's website, but unfortunately, they don't provide a detailed breakdown of the taxes and
fees directly on the booking page. The total amount is
usually listed as a single line item without specifying the individual
components. For a detailed breakdown of the taxes and fees, I recommend contacting
Trip.com's customer service. They should be able to
provide you with a more detailed receipt that includes the specific charges. You can reach out to their customer service through their
support page. I hope this helps! If you have any more questions or need
further assistance, feel free to ask. |
