Got to admit that by the end, I just went for 'valid' on pretty much everything. Nothing seemed weird anymore. 😂

I obviously wish them well. I'm just a bit puzzled as to why they had to set up what seems like a new virtual airline for it but I guess that's the only way to sell tickets. Still, the website doesn't look great and the brand name is... strange. 'Air Unicorn' anyone?

I was booked on Blue Islands once, for a quick Guernsey to Jersey flight. But that one got cancelled just before departure, I had to switch to Aurigny and got treated to a very special plane instead: www.jetphotos.com/photo/8058519

I think Bob built Brandenburg.

To an island? 😜

Oh damn, that sounds messy as well. And yes, the problem would have been a hotel reservation and a return ticket with a different carrier but no way to actually get to Jersey first.

Blue Islands went into receivership this weekend and cancelled all flights. So things would have gotten messy had I booked these as a one way flight to Jersey.

Oh yes, maar de laatste keer zaten we met 5 man in een zaal van 180 of zo. Dat zal ook niet opgebracht hebben 😂

Ah, pretty much the same as me then, with slightly different math. I'm at 15.5 and can only take 5 forward. (The 4 weeks is because I only work four-fifths).

Pretty much 4 weeks as well 😀

Good luck convincing the bean counters of that solid logic
