I think I`d be panicking if I hadn`t got my tickets by now for next Monday!!

We've travelled pretty frequently on XL and usually have tickets 2-3 weeks in advance.

I'd check with them if I were you.

ChrisnDave - have pm'd you with contact details if you need them

Thanks TAH-M.

I spoke to Flightsearchers yesterday who told me I should receive the tickets in a day or two but not to worry as I could always collect them at the airport. Seems a bit rich as they have been booked and paid for well in advance. They couldn't confirm if the flight times have changed or not so you can imagine how I am feeling - another sleepless night. They did go on to tell me Excel were a good airline - plenty of leg room.
My reply was please just get me on a plane. I am sure it is just one of those things that happen sometimes but will feel much happier to have the tickets in my hand.

Have spoken to both Flightsavers & Freedom flights today. Freedom flights told me they have posted tickets and they should be with Flightsavers tomorrow. Flightsavers told me they have been in contact with Freedom flights and they were told tickets would be waiting for us at airport on Monday :bhead. Will have to hope they arrive with me before the weekend. Don't think anyone will be to happy if I have to sit on their knee for 4 hours especially as my hubby says I have a very bony btm.  <br />

I wouldn't worry too much.

We've booked holidays a year in advance and still not received our tickets. Just picked up the new printed ones at the airport, no problem.

Try not to worry, it'll be fine even if you have to collect them at the airport.

i booked thro olympic holidays flight only with excel for the 24th june.
some friends tried to book same flight with them to be told they do not do fri flights only monday from my local airport. just out of curiosity i tried to book a flight or package deal for any fri during summer season cudnt. i am beginning to think we are booked on a non existant flight. have phoned olympic with my booking no and they insist the flight is ok. olympic are the only tour operators on the flight i have tried to contact excel by phone without success.

Hi,

On the charter flight timetable information on the Glasgow airport web site there is a flight from Glasgow to Corfu on a Fridayrun by XL. It says that seats are sold exclusively by Olympic which is why you haven't been able to book it with any one else.

Looks OK though - no need to worry

Flight No XLA3210 leaving at 21.15

thanks for the reply. as u cud see from my other post i had cheched glw airports site re this flight and know that it is only olympic on this flight

when i say i tried to book another flight or package deal for this flight during summer 05 for any friday i tried to do this thro olympic only and was told they only do monday flights from glw.

that is why i was wondering about my booking. even if they were fully booked for fri 24/6. why is there no availability for any other friday during the season.thats whats got me wondering. they have 2 flight on a monday from glw to corfu. so have they cut the fri flight from their schedules. and then eventually tell us that they have switched us
to one of their mon flights which is no use to us. by the time they get round to doing this the other available flights from glw/corfu may be fully booked.
