Can anyone see why we (AP ticket holders) should be responsible for the taxes on the AP tickets. Surely, if we paid these taxes at the airport we would not of had to pay the taxes twice (that's if you actually paid for new tickets and went to Bali). Surely, the government should be responsible for the money lost in paid taxes. They allowed Air Paradise to have/keep/invest this money until departure of flight. Why is it only the ticket holder who looses out. My travel agent made a healthy commission on the first tickets, and believe it or not made money on the new (Garuda) tickets (we had no choice but to use her as it was a couple of days before we were to leave), the hotel got their money, the wholesaler got theres, but the ticket holder was the only one to 'loose out". Can an agent keep commission on a product they did not supply???? Well I know they do, but is it ethical? I am looking for a new agent!!! i have just emailed the Minister for Justice asking him for some answers. I have written this money off, but it bugs me!!
