So we bought tickets on Oasis back in January. We are planning to travel in May. Luckily we found some good priced tickets on China Airlines, but I will be really angry if we don't get a refund from Oasis. We printed out the claim form from the Oasis website, but what more can we do?

Anyone else?
 
Hi Katie,

I had a ticket booked for July. I didn't know we could even attempt to claim a refund. Well I guess that's good news that a claim form even exists. I'd better print me one of those off!!

Fingers crossed

Yeah like Rani has pointed out, your credit card company should give you a refund.

I called up Oasis yesterday, they have no further information at the mo and asked me to wait and check their website regularly for news.

I have a feeling they wont have any money left to refund to people...........think they're just trying desperately to find a buyer to buy the business.
 
maybe Virgin will buy them. They run a 'budget' operation in Australia don't they called Virgin Blue, so it would make strategic sense for them.

I hope someone buys them as without this lower-price anchor, all the prices are sure to rise.

My sister-in-law arrived in HK on the last Oasis flight (they announced the insolvency while they were in mid-air!). Now I have to get them home!!
 
I know, was so thrilled when they first started, GBP200 return to HK!!! Only been on it once, thought it was well worth it. Hope someone will buy it and keep it running.

Heard something about the owner used some of the company's shares to borrow personal loans, Hainan Airlines was going to buy it out, but due to this issue they pulled out.
 
I don't know what to do. My ticket is for July so I'm not stranded. The ticket was so cheap I'm wondering if I should just hold out and see if another airline takes over. I don't want to get a refund and then pay an arm and a leg for another airline and then find out my ticket could have been honored by new owners....

When I checked their website it says, 'flights suspended until further notice...' I'm optomistic about the further notice but I guess they would say that to deter people from claiming refunds. Like hanii says, they'll probably run out of money for refunds!

Does anybody think there's a chance someone will take over and the existing tickets will be honored?

Hi again!

So I called HSBC as I have a Visa card with them and this is what they told me to do:

Fax 1.CC statement with Oasis transaction, 2.Oasis confirmation page, 3. a brief letter declining the transaction saying I'm unwilling to pay the amount and fax it to 22693080. They'll send an acknowledgement letter after one week with further advice.

Hope that's useful for anyone banking with HSBC.
 
I'll place a bet with anyone who wants to that they won't be back in business any time soon. It's too late, their name is ruined, they needed to find a buyer months ago.

As for refunds, good luck but I doubt you'll be getting anything back. The money will be long gone. It's a real shame however, they had a good plan but I think their timing was out.
 
My parents were booked on a flight out to come and see us on 27th April returning 12th May. They are both coming on separate flights now with different carriers, my Dad is arriving on Fri 25th by Air NZ and my Mum arrives Saturday on Virgin. They both go home on different days too, it's lunacy!

They are hoping to get a refund via Insurance, but since everyone has gone crazy booking themselves on to other airlines, they were worried they wouldn't be able to get a seat!
 
Insurance doesn't cover the losses, at least my sis-in-laws didn't (UK travel insurance - which may be different to insurance bought elsewhere).

The Insurance company told me that if purchased on credit card the issuer is liable to cover any losses when a company gets declared insolvent under the Consumer Credit Act (again, this is in the UK, so not sure about the rest of the world). I spoke to the Civil Aviation Authority (UK) too, and they confirmed this.
 
all ticket holders need to wait till 11 th june atleast the official liquidator KPMG gives the financial report and the ticket holders will be the last people to get their money back so I wont be hoping for much anytime soon.
 
I booked a flexible ticket HK-london last year as I had to pretend I was here on holidays before getting my work visa.
I don't think things will be sorted out before summer, so I hope to get a refund.
319 pounds, not much, but still....
 
I used them only once when I moved here, travelled business for 500 pounds, that was amazing, so comfy and good food.
It's a real shame, I was my only possibility to travel business while pregnant... I am not looking forward to a 12 hr flight, sitting up with a big belly!
