Meeting next week has been moved forward by one day. So I need to move my flights and hotel reservation forward by one day.

They want

£40 per passenger per flight (£80)
£20 Hotel cancellation fee (the cannot change the booking, I have to cancel and rebook)

They can only do part of this over the phone, and part of this online.

Dirty robbing inefficient bastids.

£60 fine for spelling the name wrong.

Really, just give up on the cheapos; I don't know where you're going, but KLM's usually cheapest to or from Holland once you've got past all the extra charges the rest slap on you, even though their advertised prices are expensive, and that probably applies to the national airline of where you're going.

Is that to go to Munich?

Isn't that where the 'planes crash?

Get the train.

Gotta be better than SleazyJet. You probably wouldn't survive.

Why are they inefficient? Look pretty efficient the way they've taken your money.

Yep, Eurostar to Paris and TGV from there. Best way to travel in Europe.

15 hours to Munich. Yep, nice.

I bet it's a cracking journey scenery-wise. What's the food and wine like Mich?

[BoredBloke]

It gets better than that. The seat you booked will have been purchased at a rate which is lower than they are currently charging - by giving up the seat (and paying to do so) you are allowing them to resel it an oa plane that is fairly full, so at a higher cost. Pretty efficient to me!

First class on the TGV or ICE? Pretty good for a train; served at your seat in the restaurant car; food's often quite 'Germanic', simple, straightforward but good quality and filling.

Of course, you could get the Eurostar to Paris, get the metro to Gare de Lyon, eat here then get a metro to Gare de l'Est and then a sleeper train to Munich, wake up in time for breakfast in one of those German bakeries that seems to want to turn everyone into a chocolate flavoured blimp, then walk to't Königshof for a few hours sleep, drink a large local brew and then have a 7 course dinner in what must be one of the finest restaurants in Germany, right there in your hotel.

And probably costs a fraction of peak time ticket to London...
