Just heard that Spanair have gone bust and stopped flying, at least from Ibiza, how's it your end.

Is Squad the funny looking geezer with the fag hanging out of his face?

[netibiza]

No idea, have never met him and don't want to, he wouldn't approve of my undies!

[carolegif]

No, that is Craft48!

[Buenchico]

Spanair's board is officially still 'considering its future':

(That page was only posted within the past quarter of an hour).

However their website has gone, and they've been struggling for years, so (unless another potential partner comes forward at the last minute) it would seem reasonable to assume that they've gone forever.

[netibiza]

No one knows and many here have tickets to fly out to Barca with Spanair on Monday. Absolute bedlam!

[netibiza]

Damn good airline they were too.

[netibiza]

defo gone, check ins all closed, no flights. Ryanair fares doubled .

Bit off that creamy

[craft1948]

oi who're you calling a geezer tin head.............

[Sqad]

Hi neti......don't worry about your undies........I would buy them for you..and choice them ;-)

No.....I didn't know that Spanair had gone bust, but will make some enquiries at breakfast this morning.

[Sqad]

Just woken Mrs sqad to give her the news LOL

She says that it her opinion it was a "sloppy airline" and after upgrading from economy to business class on one of her shopping trips, the woman just "pocketed the cash".

In the winter we now just have Air Europa and Vueling (owned by Iberia which is owned by BA) to get us to mainland Spain.

Will report after we have been into the village for breakfast.

[Sqad]

neti....yepp! it seems official....the talk of the village cafe.......Spanair has been wound up, but the consensus of opinion is, that another company might come in and resume some flights under another name.

[netibiza]

You can tell Mrs Sqad that I liked Spanair, 3 other airlines are selling cheap tickets to the spanair passengers but NOT us on Ibiza!!!! I flaming hate living here sometimes! We have air europe and vueling and Ryanair (which I never use but may have to now) to get us to the mainland! No direct flights to England now. Bah humbug!

Is it peeing down in Menorca, absolutely bucketing it over here. Cess pit is full, nothing will drain away now!

[netibiza]

Actually cess pit is not full, it's a soak away and cannot soak anywhere :0(

[Sqad]

neti....black as the ace of spades, but not raining...........yet.
Last night thunder and lightning.

Yepp! being in the 2 small Balearics has it's problems in the winter.
