Anybody else going with Air Baltic - booked through expedia.
I've really been messed around here.
Changed direct Dublin to Riga flight booked the day of the fixtures to fly out via Copenhagen a few hours earlier. However with a 55 minute connection in Copenhagen.
They called me to accept the change and I refused saying it was too tght. they then said you don't need to get off the plane as the same plane flies on to Riga. Got e-mail confirmation then and this is a blatant lie.
Expedia are now saying they can't change the flight but will give me a written guarantee that I'll be re-routed to Tbilisi via Munich, Vienna or Istanbul should my Dublin to Copenhagen flight be late.
If you are in the same boat just refuse loudly and consistently and they will have to put you on a direct Dublin to Riga flight.
Good to get the confirmation of a back up, but 55 minutes is technically do-able, unless you have to re-check-in. And wouldn't the plane wait?
And why don't you think the flight doesn't go on to Riga? Air Baltic are Latvian, no, not Danish? I was on a KLM flight to Helsinki for the Latvia game of 83 and it stopped off in Gothenberg both ways from Amsterdam.
This is the cooooooooooooolest footy forum I've ever seen!
Booked directly with Air Baltic out on the Wed, back Mon morn, got a email notifying a change a few weeks ago and stated to panic but they only shifted the outword flight time by 15 mins earlier so didnt make much of a difference.
Try and avoid using expedia now if I can, changed by honeymoon flight back home from 15.00 to 08.00 and only informed me with about week to go, I had a million other things to do rather than check flight/connecting flight times etc. Got it sorted eventually but felt if i had of booked directly with the airline they would of informed me sooner.
Think the baggage goes all the way through which may indicate that you dont have to check in again
55 minutes is doable if it is on-time but not ideal. It is very risky and any delay in Dublin and I'm screwed. The plane will hardly wait unless there are numbers on the flight going to Riga.
It is a different flight. I've confirmed that they are different aircraft so you do have to get off. The next flight to Riga arrives too late to make my connection to Tbilisi. The fact they told me a blatant lie when I refused the change is a concern. They lie so easily. Even the rep today said Copenhagen is a tiny airport and changing is easy. Well it must have shrunk considerably since I've last been there and lost 2 of its 3 terminals.
I want written confirmation though of the alternative as it would be much cheaper for them to put me up in Riga and send me off to Tbilisi the following day just in time to fly home but not in time for the game. They only have 1 flight a day to Tbilisi.
By rights they should have moved me onto the Aer Lingus or Ryanair Dublin to Riga flights which are both still wide open - 30 euro and 75 euro each.
Lads I think anyone booked in to fly with Air Baltic should check their reservation now. I have just checked my booking and without me knowing they have chanhed our day we fly out so now we our going to Riga on the Wednesday and not flyin outr til' the next day.
Is there anything you can do in this situation does anybody know because this just seems scandalous.

I e-mailed them about it and I got this reply:
The timetable has changed. We can offer both passengers to fly one day earlier or cancel your reservation and refund the money so you can buy new tickets. Please confirm!

airBaltic reservations.
They don't seem to be very reliable considering I had to find this out for myself thanks to gspain.
I think now I might change route and go through Prague on Thursday the 4th instead of having to head a day early seeing I have booked the hotel from the Thursday.
Anyway just a warning to anyone goin through Riga with Air Baltic on the 4th to re-check your booking.

We were to fly to riga with air baltic on the friday with a connection to tbilisi on friday night.
they have kindly switched our flight to riga for the saturday!!
A few emails later and they are now offering a flight via vilnius(Lithuania) to riga (3 flights to tbilisi).
They did not contact us about the inital change in flights .
All those on the friday riga flight, get in touch with air baltic......
Checked on line and I mysteriously had a second flight from Riga - Dublin on the 13th as well as the one on the 12th.
Emailed them to confirm and they had changed from midday friday to first thing Sat - joke really, dont really fancy a fri night in Riga, costing me enough as it is might stay another night in Berlin and fly home from there.
we have a flight from RIX/TBS on Friday night getting in Saturday morning, checked it and seems to be fine, although there is a tallinn - riga flightappearing now, confusing the hell out of me, need to get it all printed out and have a proper gawp at it tonight

I presume all tickets are gone, right?
I was going to get tickets for my dad, but left it too late.
Plane tickets or match tickets?
I've no idea about plane tickets but if you e-mail ticket.office@fai.ie and ask them for a form for tickets for the game, you'll most likely get as many as you want.
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
