Zoom Airlines goes into Liquidation a Week before our Holiday!!! Noooooo!! you've got to be kiddin

How can it be, that an airliner who has successfully been running for 7 years, suddenly dies the week before we get on one of their planes?

Whats the chances eh? 1 week almost to the day

Probability of a refund from them.....nil. They have said try your credit card company. That's 2 grand to try and recoup if we can then.

The website is very apologetic though....That's nice eh!

Tonight the wife and myself were sitting down and watching the 10 o'clock news, when it came up as a headline. First thing we did was run to the computer to find out if this was true. It seems surreal that one minute we are chatting and drinking a coffee in the living room, and the next we are running about panic stricken. We chose them as they are the only carrier flying direct to San Diego. There's a definite lesson to be learnt here I think. Only use the major carriers, even if it means flying to an airport 2-3 hours from where you want to be.

Zoom.........stuff em eh!
