On 11 March Qatar Airways cancelled my return flights from NZ to UK. It's over 28 working days now and I'm still waiting for a refund. A lot of money to be out of pocket ๐
They have blocked all ways to contact them... Awful service.

Had a pleasant hour yesterday, photographing the Bank voles that live in our drystone walling. We have a deal, he gets sunflower hearts, I take the pictures.

Happy New Year ๐ฅณ
All signs point to 2026 being a great year - I made this pretty dress, and I've won a research scholarship from the Gerda Henkel foundation, which I'll begin in April ๐ฅณ๐ฅ
@GazHumphries @qatarairways@UK_CAA I don't think it works like that if you are halfway around the world and your flights home are cancelled - eg I've used half of the product, I guess.
@lakakarachi@qatarairways Any luck with this? I've tried to cancel the return leg of my journey and it keeps saying the flight has already happened ๐
If the airline could just cancel the flights within that window and automatically issue refunds it would make their and our lives so much easier!
Should add - my biggest concern is that X has basically no ethical/moral standards. Every time I've reported a post as racist, sexist, or horrifically abusive I'm told it's not against their standards. If those are attitudes X endorses, I want no part of that community.
1/ After 14 years the time has come to leave X.
Elon Musk is a morally repugnant, white supremacist, & apologist for misogyny and paedofilia.
Alongside many moments that have brought me friendship and joy, X enables the spread of terrorist, hateful, sexist and disgusting views..
3/3 If you wish to keep in touch, you can find me at Blue Sky social (@ moffski).
I'll leave this post up a couple of days before deactivating my account.
Farewell to those of you who have been a positive part of my time here! ๐ซก
@sworrall I realised the hypocrisy of significantly reducing my use of FB for moral reasons, yet continuing to use Twitter, which I think is openly worse.
Thanks for the Blue follow :)
@BernardLewis8 I find it a poor substitute, but at least it doesn't enable users to create nude images of other users I guess ๐ซค
Maybe come back to Blue Sky just to keep in touch with other historians :)
@james_2904 I know, I know! That's why I've been hanging in here. For much of my work-related networking it is still better than alternatives. However, I can't morally hang in here any longer :(
