Cancelled flights, no refunds, no responsibility

Cancelled flights, no refunds, no responsibility, Member travelbuff1212

I ordered tickets for November 4, 2010 from Chios to Athens in July. I called on Nov 2nd to confirm and Aegean said the flight was on schedule with no issues. Nov 4th I go to the airport, there was no plane to Athens with Aegean Airlines! They told me that flight was cancelled from March but I bought the tickets in JULY! I spoke with Aegean and they blamed travel agency’s. Aegean did not refund my money nor did they take responsibility for anything. I had to buy tickets from Olympic airlines last minute costing me a lot of money, another bunch of crooks. Olympic knew I was in a bind and charged me the highest rate possible. I am out money and no one takes responsibility. It is instances like this where I am very ashamed at my homeland and their business practices. I am fortunate enough that I was able to afford the new highly overpriced tickets, I also speak the language. What about tourists or someone who can’t afford to buy alternate tickets?
