There is no way that these reps should be allowed to get away with what they did! i do not go to manchester airport to be told by some snotty nosed jumped up jobsworth that i have to join a certain queue...if i was traveling independant and got to the airport first that is where i would stay....it has nothing whatsoever to do with any of the reps because your contract is with the airline that you travelled with. first there, first in the queue.

They tried that on us last year, all my Bazil done was to speak to them in German, which they obviously did not understand and wandered away not knowing what to do,

The same thing happened to me last friday, i arrived with my daughter and 14 month grandson when an english employee of the airport immediately came over to ask what flight i was on. I told him the newcastle one and he directed me to a thomas cook rep. She told us to go outside and join the back of the queue. My daughter said "I'm not travelling, my mum booked flight only so isnt with a company" the girl said to me "is it a thomas cook flight?" I said "yes" she said "well you still have to wait outside with everyone else." When i was actually inside the airport a group of people tried to join the queue behind me and a young male rep came over and said "excuse me have you came in from outside" They replied "No we wee sitting over there waiting for the desk to open" He said "Have you been waiting long?" They said "1/2 an hour" he said "oh erm" then a lady rep stepped in and said "it makes no difference you must join the queue outside its the same rule here as in England, you can't join a queue in the middle." The young lad just looked at her and she said to him "you will have to toughen up you can't treat them differently just because they were inside" he said "I just felt awful" she said "well this is part of the job thats not always very nice you will have to get used to it."

I've got the perfect antidote to that,a brother in law with a bit of influence on curfu.Tell them you are related to someone important,chief of police,or airport manager,or a shareholder in their company,people with small brains are frightened of everything,bobbo

Hi All ,

A difficult one to post on ......we go independant , and independant we are .

We will not......I say NOT be herded like cattle.....Beware tour reps.....try to herd us and you get a whole lot better than you give !!!!

To a point of being extremely rude and if necessary physical [ You get to an age when you don't give a damm what others think or do ] ....lol

We buy the ticket and do our own thing , we return on the ticket and do our own thing ........end of !!!!

Regards.......J&H

PS: On our return in May on a Monday , there was Bedlam at the check ins and Xray machines . The rep for Thomas Cook said "we should wait outside in he sun" . I said "which check in desk are we using"?

She said " Number 3 and 4 " ........I said " Tell everyone we are starting the Queue now ".............poor kid , they should do it themselves as part of the training to see what really happens and to get a feel for the rubbish that they dish out .

Off my box now....lol

John have to agree with you here, as i said earlier if you fly independant your contract is with the Airline and not the tour company so the reps can go take a long walk down a short pier for me!!

can you imagine booking a flight to say Germany and turning up at a uk airport to be told to go outside and join the queue? the 2nd word would end in off!

Dave.

I also had a run in with a thomson rep last year, my husband and i arrived before the coaches and when they arrived they told me to go outside! I refused and stayed inside the airport but was held back and the last to check in, i didnt mind as i was travelling alone and didnt intend on checking in until as late as possible but was apalled at how i was spoken to and being 3 months pregnant could have done without the hassle. The reps do make it very difficult for independent travellers to check in but i would definately refuse to stand outside until they give me the go ahead to proceed inside, they have no right!

Angie had a run in with the reps two weeks ago when her daughter's check in opened and they were told from an english rep from another company that they couldn't use the security equipment to go to their check in untill all her passangers had gone through(for another airline). Terry and Julia had the same problems with these 'reps; who seem to be trying to destroy tourism on the Island. I am sure Julia can tell her own story about these 'THICK AND IGNORANT' reps who think they run the airport. Don't let the English tour companies give Corfu a bad reputation. Send for security and have them removed. Why don't the tour companies see what damage they are doing to themself with spupid thick 'reps' . I suppose next year they will complain about less people coming to Corfu again, although tourism is on the increase (but not with them). Just remember that half of these 'reps' are from Kavos or Sidari so so are used to treating people badly in a 'superior mannor' like they are someone special.
