Flights were not until 27 July & 24 August 2010. Confirmation details were sent from SPAIN although I booked through Terminal A UK. Quite by chance this week I heard from a passenger who went to an airport with his eticket from this company only to be told that his paperwork was worthless as they had gone into liquidation. Poor man had to pay for another ticket and start the process of trying to get it sorted. I have spent 2 days now getting absolutely nowhere, when you access the site there is a notice in English & several other languages stating that they had gone into receivership and therefore could not access any of the airlines websites. Cyprus Airways, the airline inquestion do not want to know as my contract is with the agent and not with them. Interstingly, if you try to book a flight with them from cyprus to london they will use easy jet and take your money. There has to be something that the travel industry can do about this practice. I booked my flight using a visa debit card and canno get a refund as more that 120 days have elapsed since they allegedly went into receivership so I'm £440 poorer.

They changed my flight connection after couple of days and the new connection does not work. Customer service not very helpful as they say they cannot help to change my flight and I have to write an email to another department which does not respond to my emails. Never going to use them again. Worst ever experience from Terminal A. They changed my flight connection after couple of days and the new connection does not work.
