Small Planet Airlines Discussion
Like everyone here I have applied for EU 261/2004 compensation for Flight S5 0124 12hour 15 mins flight delay. Like others they haven't responded so now writing to Small Planet. Customer Serv/Claims. J Basanaviciaus 15, Vilnius, Lithuania. LT 03108 to back-up our claim. Olympic don't want to know and palm off any help. I did get intouch with CAA and they advised getting intouch with the relevant aviation authority of Lithuania also. Because Small Planet have no presence in this country I ca not serve any order with a bailiff. Hope above address helps some of you.

Guest : On 2nd September we flew from Manchester to Skiathos and had over a 4 hour delay due to no pilot. Was told by the rep everyone on flight entitled to compensation as we weren't even offered food vouchers whilst we waited. Can anybody remember what the flight number was or what the exact time was we departed and landed? Should have taken a note at the time but didn't think about it. Thanks, jess Yes we were on that flight. Flight no.S5217 due to depart at 13.50 actually flew at 17.50. Let me know how you get on with compensation , I cannot get a response or help from anyone. Thanks

15 hour delay getting out of manchester for kos on 1 oct 2016. Lots of very * people. Small planet airlines it seems are famous round manchester airport for being useless. Apparently they hold the record for longest ever delay in the history of the airport (in july i think ). And OLYMPIC HOLIDAYS who front these cowboys did NOTHING to help and took no responsibility for this airline they have contracted.

France's malthouse : 27hour delay on Manchester to Crete late July, claimed which was aknowledged but not a tweet since. Yet Olympic are still proposing this outfit for next year. Beginning to fear this airline does not intend to settle claims If you need help getting them to act then the I know LA Law ltd have been dealing with a lot of claims on that flight. They're working on a no win no fee basis for those claims. are you on twitter? If you want some advice/assistance getting it processed get in contact with my colleague @RebeccAirClaims as she's been dealing with most of the flights for that one so can get it processed if needed. Free advice at the least!

Guest : Guest : Many people put a claims form in,going back 5 years. They ignore everything solicitors small claims court etc. Small planet have no intention of paying up the company is small they would go bust, Best thing is put your claim in and leave it at that you may get a surprise. That's if they accept the flight number but that seems to be the latest trick. The computer says NO. I had my claim processed and paid within 3 weeks, no arguments. It is very simple, provide the information required and you will receive the funds. If you can't use the online form send it to Claims@SmallPlanet.aero or call their call centre.where did you get a copy of your tickets and boarding passes? They are asking for these and i do not know where to get copies from?

No emails, no contact, absolutely disgusted. Husband phoned GBS on Monday as per the letter we were given at airport. Got a reference. Phoned Small Planet Tuesday, no joy but did give details of courier service using and contact number, THS couriers on 0845 604 7225. spoke to a very helpful gentleman who confirmed that it would definitely not be Tuesday but maybe Wednesday or Thursday and that we would get a call beforehand letting us know when delivery would be. Nothing yet. Checked website www.thscouriers.co.uk and using code LGWLLC10105 and putting in name can track baggage. Looks like courier company received all the baggage at their Manchester depot early this morning but no other info yet. (07/09/16) Guest : Hi sounds like we were on the same flight as you - no bags yet although I did receive an email yesterday afternoon to advise being processed. Have never flown before with Small Planet & will never do so again! Can't believe their incompetence. Guest : Rubbish airline, sent everyone's bags to Manchester and passengers to gatwick saying they were following on small planet plane, and would be delivered overnight, and to us Monday. And that was after a two plus hour delay in take off. They lie and so do their handling agents who told me luggage was with the courier at gatwick, it isn't, and it's now Tuesday and I have spoken to a guy in Manchester airport and that is where our bags still are, and everyone else's who was unfortunate to be on that plane. So my question? What was in the hold that took priority over their customer? Obviously something lucrative. Disgusting treatment will be lucky if we get our bags tomorrow!

Guest : Hi there I wonder if anyone here can help me as I am getting very frustrated with Small Planet's claims form! We were on the Manchester Rhodes flight which was due to depart 17th August and had a 14.5hr delay. Whichever combination of numbers I use it won't accept any and also won't let me put any value into the scheduled flight route box either, and to be honest I don't know what to put in there anyway. Any help is appreciated Use moneysavingexpert.com and get a template letter, ignore the small planet boxes and just send the letter via attachment or email

Guest : Take no notice ,someone pops in here from time to time saying their claims are settled. It's all poppy cock, we had one person saying their claim was settled at the airport (they refused to wait for the late flight) as for the fool who says Small Planet are fantastic.they must be a trolley dolly. Guest : Could I just check that your claim that was processed in 3 weeks was actually with Small Planet? I have an ongoing claim with them from last year that is still being ignored. I was on this flight from Manchester to Rhodes too and am about to put in a second claim but not holding out much hope given that last year's is still not processed!

I booked a holiday through Olympic and the flight operator was SPA. We were flying from Manchester on Wednesday 10th Aug supposedly at 8am , having paid extra money for a morning flight. The flight was delayed by almost 8 hours it was horrendous, no representative, no regular updates just a £12 voucher that could only be redeemed at certain outlets within the airport. That was soon spents due to airport rip off prices. It wasn't as bad as some had it, we were two adults however there were families with very young children and babies. Once on board we were told it was due to a technical fault Our return trip wasn't much better a four hour delay at Rhodes airport....another technical fault. I have booked for many years with Olympic with no concerns. If they are going to continue to use SPA they have lost me as a customer. We had a so issue two years ago with a five hour delay going to Crete I should have had faith in my cut feelings and gone elsewhere....NEVER AGAIN

Do Small Planet only have one plane that flies from Manchester to the various Greek Islands? So if it is late on the Skiathos run on a Friday it will also be late on the Kefalonia run on a Saturday. Why dont GIC/Sunvil and Ionion and Aegean Islands Holidays do something about the problem which has been going on all summer? Olympic are not the only tour operator using Small Planet - they are using a common broker to source the flights. Not surprisingly they charge less for Manchester departures on their holidays than Birmingham or Gatwick. We were booked back from Kefalonia to Manchester on 7th August but as my son was 18 we were put on a Norwegian flight to Gatwick and then had a 6 hour taxi ride - finally getting home 12 hours late. If you had young children you got put on the Birmingham flight and therefore got back earlier. Small Planet are a disgrace and should be replaced. Shame the refunds claimed by the tour operators are not passed to customers who have to claim on insurance and pay excess.

We are currently in a really bad/dirty 2 star hotel because of the 14 hour flight delay from small planet. We booked through secret escapes who work with Olympic holidays. First of all, everyone who is reading this PLEASE do not book with any of the above companies. Firstly the hotel wasn't anything to what we booked. Not offered an alternative room, instead asked to pay €150 per night to upgrade and we didn't have the money. Secondly, the flight was delayed 14 hours. We are currently in this 2* hotel provided by olympic holidays with my pregnant wife. We have had no sleep for over 24 hours. I have rang our olympic rep who hasn't a clue. Rang olympic holidays here in Greece who also don't know flight times. This company is an absolute joke. We will be putting in a complaint and connecting the relevant authorities. This company shouldn't be in business.

First time we have flown with small planet airlines and first time from Manchester airport first time to Skiathos . We can expect delays due to technical reason our flight out was delayed by 2 hours due to ground crew not being on time? so we missed our slot and then a passenger having to be taken off due to illness - possibly because we were sat on a hot plane for 2 hours ?? - not given much of an update by cabin crew did bring round water for us (flight out was S5151) . Return flight was S5152 again delayed by over an hour and a half - Skiathos is not a big airport and was only operating 2 departure gates many people saying they are used to be being delayed - did end up sitting on the floor for about half that time. My main issue of concern was the male steward on our return flight who when he did not receive the request for extra crisps he had asked the other stewardesses for he promptly put his finger up at then m and swore at them - this was in front of my 15 year old daughter . I did not feel the cabin crew on our return flight were very professional - they were slow could not take an order correctly got confused easily when asked for more than 2 items at a time. Unsure if i would fly with them again

We were suddenly asked to board mini-buses and taken to airport where another flight had been arranged to take us to Manchester. It eventually departed around 2000. Guest : Guest : Flight from kefalonia is delayed 23 hrs all Manchester flights for small planet are marked as delayed are they in trouble we are stuck in kefalonia with no info just told to go to airport and wait We were on the flight to Birminham that some people were offered. When we left you at that awful taverna they said they were going to look to find accommodation for everyone. Did they not do that?
