<VV> Convention Host Hotel

[Hugo Miller]

How on Earth can they cancel bookings without notifying their 
customers? What would have happened if you'd flown half way round the 
world and turned up at the hotel to find you had no reservations? If 
they are not taking any bookings during 2020, they sure won't be taking 
any during 2021 or 2922 either! More to the point, are they refunding 
your money?
A friend's sister has been stuck in Australa for weeks - She just got 
home to England yesterday. She was originally booked with Emirates, who 
cancelled. She then booked with Cathay Pacific, who also cancelled; then 
with Qatar, who did the same. But in each case they kept her money! It 
ended up costing her about $25,000 to get home I think!
It looks as thugh this stupid bug is not only collapsing the economy - 
it is practically the end of civilisation itself! Wait till the looting 
starts when everybody runs ot of money.
