@Gatwick_Airport many people have cancelled flights and carousel 8 is packed with yet to be claimed bags. Could easily have staff move bags off the belt to facilitate more bags to be on belt. Have waited close to 1 hour for mine!

@airasia is there a way to get through to your customer service besides AVA? It is very frustrating for me as the options given do not apply to my enquiry. My flight on 11/3/21 was cancelled but the date of departure in your notice is wrong. I can't process my refund accurately.

[Damien Yeo @drdamoeyes]

One of my favourite resources at the moment 😍

Able to search for relevant and up to date information for our patients with genetic eye diseases without having to trawl through heavy publications or cluttered info!
