braveheart_lynch Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 We are on the flight leaving Thursday night and arriving Friday morning. Had a look on Airbaltic website and if trying to purchase Riga to Tbilisi leaving Wednesday night into Thursday morning, it is now taking you via Baku.

Willie Miller's tache Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 Flight number BT654 from gatwick at 17.35 on Wednesday 2 sept then BT724 from Riga at 23.25, arrive tblisi 03.55 on Thursday 3 September. Booked it with "go to gate" (via skyscamner) in October last year. Various emails at the end of last year with minor changes in flight times. Then the "go to gate" cowboys email me yesterday saying flight changed to 3 September (same times) and asking me to agree or accept refund (if applicable and with charges) within 5 days. According to other websites flight time has been changed to 18.10 (which makes Riga transfer a bit tight) but departure date the same. Emailed them back saying 18.10 dep time is ok but their suggested alternatives were unacceptable. Not heard back from them yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willie Miller's tache Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 Ok, go to gate have been in touch and say because of the change in flight time, there are only 30 mins between landing in Riga on Wednesday evening and the connecting flight to tblisi and this is not "a valid connection". They have now proposed flying out a day earlier (which I can't do) and putting me up in a Riga hotel on Tuesday night at air baltic's expense. Anyone else heard anything? Anybody know whether or not a 30 min transfer at Riga, at a time when the airport should be quiet, is do-able / likely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
washboarder Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 prob not as it will take awhile to disembark and the gate would already be closed m8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carrick Lad Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 WM's tache I'm on the same flight routing but have heard nothing - tho' have now just messaged GTG asking the question. Pse keep me updated if you hear anything. I'm in the same situ as you re not able to fly a day earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanderer Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Riga airport is not all that big. Airports like Schipol you need at least 45 minuts between flights. What you will find is probably your arrive at gate 15, and your Tbilisi flight is at gate 14....... Plus if there is enough on the inward flight, they will hold up the onward flight (within respectable means for keeping landing slot in Tbilisi) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I am getting is sorry we are taking longer to reply to emails than normal. We will get back to you soon. Called each day but gave up on hold after 10 minutes. Getting a bit annoyed now. 1 week to go and no confirmed flights! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
