  Any idea how you book Interjet / check availability? I need to fly from JFK to CUN which is an interjet route. Iberia shows no availability for any date in the next year (yes, i tried them all as I’m sitting on a long layover).

  I’ve searched a few destinations in iberia.com that interjet fly with no luck on any dates. Obviously I can call them but IB CS is truly awful and ill-informed.

  Ideally looking to check the availability somewhere first.

    It won’t be online I’m sure, it will require you to navigate the IB call centre. As Interjet is not in an alliance I’m not sure there is any obvious way of checking availability.

      Thanks Rob. Thought as much. Will carve out some time and patience to give them a call. Will report back!

  Corker over on FT tonite – hat tip FT EC261 thread – BA just comes up with horsesh&t every time when you first claim EC261 compo – remember that, remember you won’t fall for that obfuscation, remember it’s the patsies that fall for it that allow BA to generously pay you your compo when you persist.

  Here we go:
  “Flew BA115 LHR-JFK last Sunday. Maintenance issue with the cargo loading rollers. We were kept on the plane throughout and ultimately touched down 3h 4mins after scheduled arrival time. Arrived at the gate 3h 12mins late. Fired in a claim for the 300EUR and received the following. Do they employ people to make this cr*p up? Jet stream??? Being held at JFK??? Never had a taxi this short at JFK. Who are they proposing I claim – God? Maybe it’s his fault there was a jet stream… I’ve fired back a suitably robust response. Up to them whether they pay up or i need to go down the MCOL route again. At least they’ve admitted liability in the email for the maintenance issue that caused the delay. Should be an easy court process.
  Anyone seen anything as silly as this before?

  Thank you for allowing us to investigate the reasons for BA0115 flight delay.
  I’ve checked the details of your flight and can confirm your flight was delayed because of British Airways for 178 minutes.
  However the additional 14 minute delay was due to jet stream winds over the Atlantic and being held when arriving in JFK.
  Since British Airways was only reasonable for 178 minutes of the delay and not 180 or over we are not liable to pay EU Compensation.
  Thanks again for contacting us. Please feel free to contact us if we can help you any further and I hope we can welcome you on board again soon.”

    This is hilarious. Do they actually know what the jet stream Is?
