ryno1972 0 #53 October 28, 2005 Well, I hope that does not happen. I wish they would just go away. My wife, myself and a friend made our first tandems at ASC over 3 years ago. They ripped us off bad. Looking back, I paid for "extra altitude", and all kinds of BS. It turned out costing us almost $800.00 for 3 tandems with video. Looking back I want to scream!!! glad to be here!!

kelpdiver 2 #54 October 28, 2005 $260 for a tandem with video isn't bad around here. The range is ~160-320 (the last would be dvd and 60+ digitals stills on a cd). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ltdiver 3 #55 October 29, 2005 In the original news release check out who the article is published by. Click on the link. (little word, "skydive" in the upper right hand corner). Any insight into who this is? Writer from "The Open Press" or someone else? < Please don't jump to conclusions and start to rant here.

BillyVance 34 #58 October 29, 2005 Has anybody checked Travelocity's web site for any correlating news releases? I don't see anything on there about this partnership. www.travelocity.com As far as I'm concerned, it's all hot air until something concrete shows up.

freeflir29 0 #61 October 30, 2005 QuoteDear Valued Member, Thank you for writing to Travelocity. After reading your e-mail describing your disappointment in us, it's easy to understand why you would question our commitment to quality. It is clear we let you down in several ways and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. We regard all customer feedback as a welcome opportunity to improve and are grateful you took the time to share the details of your recent experience with us. Although things didn't go very smoothly, the specific criticisms you provided will help us handle things a little bit better the next time. Regards, Tony T Travelocity Customer Service http://www.travelocity.com/ I wrote to Travelocity and got back this stupid form letter. I'll do one on paper when I get home.

gravitational 0 #62 October 31, 2005 QuoteYeah..............I may be only one person but so far this year I have spent around $5000 or more just on air travel. I'm up over $10,000 just on the air travel stuff this year and I'm definitely not done. Will be taking business elsewhere too.------ Michael Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't find anywhere on Travelocity.com where it references SkyRide, TotalTrip or anything mentioned there. If it is or isn't, both Travelocity and the AZ lawsuit will have something more to pin on SkyRide. Misrepresentation in either case.

mdrejhon 8 #68 November 1, 2005 To complain to Travelocity, I suggest FedEx from a business address addressed to the name of various contacts within Travelocity -- that will get it straight to their desks. Since business-to-business FedEx's are much more seriously taken in. A good idea to use business letterhead, if possible -- especially if you are a business contact taking your own business elsewhere from Travelocity. In theory, I like the idea of reservations through a reputable vacation reservation system such as Expedia, etc. - to help introduce skydiving to more people. As long as they charge EXACT DROPZONE PRICE plus a clearly quoted "travel agent fee" (say, $25). SkyRide is not the right service to partner with for such an idea. I wish it was NOT SkyRide. If SkyRide can be reformed (Under New Management), it will be many years before the brand can recover, but now is not the time to make SkyRide mainstream. At this stage, I would complain to Travelocity and be very sternly clear about your dissatisfaction of being associated with SkyRide. We need a honest replacement for SkyRide, but this isn't it.
