Guest guest Posted September 17, 2001 Report Share Posted September 17, 2001 Well, not surprisingly, the book fair in New York next month has been canceled, one of the reasons being that the venue is being used as a temporary morgue. LAst Thursday when we phoned Virgin we were told that they would refund tickets 'for whatever reason within the next 7 days' we decided to wait to see if the book fair would go ahead or not. This morning Virgin say that as our event is not being canceled as a direct result of the tragedy they will not refund our tickets! So what do they call the venue being used as a morgue? An everyday occurrence? Argh!! I'm still trying to psyche myself up to getting on the plane to LA on Saturday. In some ways I'd be happier if the children were coming with us... And my mother is still desperately trying to get a flight out of Florida sometime this week for my aunt's funeral - any bright ideas anyone??? http://www.foxstitch.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Virgin are been unreasonable - the event is cancelled due to a direct result because the tragedy resulted in dead bodies which are been held in the building you were to use. You are not friends with Branson are you? Complaining direct to him may help? I actually think you will be very safe flying-all the checks that they are going to carry out will make your flights some of the safest you have ever been on.
