Predictions Become Facts
I can't recall how many people were buying these low cost tickets well in advance of travel, for a small price difference over AA , CO or US Air and did not heed warnings that in the event of trouble you have no alternative source of travel.
And here is Aeromar on lits last legs, so it seems, and the Christmas season and so many possibly disappointed people. You get what you pay for and airlines are a cutthroat business at best.
