Worst Long Haul Experience of my life!
The girl taking my travel details was much too fast on the phone. Three times she spelled my last name incorrectly. Every time she was told she failed to correct it. It proved impossible to speak to anyom=ne to get it corrected. This had an impact at each stage of my journey to Trinidad from London, She also confirmed more than once that she had put us in a "hotel" with "half board". Our "Hotel", The Queens Comfort Inn, Port of Spain, was NOT a hotel but a Guest House and never provided food etc. I had to get a taxi every morning just to have some coffee,
Our flight was supposed to be direct to Port Of Spain. It became American Airlines (AA) via Miami who would not let us board as we had not filed completed "este" (US visa) forms which we had no idea about and had no wish to enter the USA We were offered an alternative flight from London Gatwick which was direct on the same day but being disabled, I couldn't face a trip to Gatwick from Heathrow. We were flown to Miami with no booked acommodation with a proposal that we tried to fly standby to Port of Spain from Miami the next morning. I had booked special assistance in Miami who saved the day, they delivered us with our luggage to a hotel in Miami airport, booked us in and arranged for a transfer of the same to the check in desk for the standby flight to Port of Spain. We only got on this flight thanks to special assistance in Miami. We finally arrived in Port of Spain some 2 days late with no half board to greet us. We were told
repeatedly that we had only booked a "BASIC" room. This did not even include a chair! but they put some matters right later on in our stay by providing much better beds and a fridge in another room.
