Flair booking on MyIDtravel

[CaptDukeNukem]

Anyone else having issues booking jumpseat on flair for myidtravel?

Heard rumblings that the AIFs are coming to these tickets.

They've got to pay their tax bill somehow. Writing is on the wall. Sharpen your resume.

Don't know if you're right or wrong here Accountant, but get your shit straight. Every occasion isn't an occasion to hit on your favourite nail, AIFs got nothing to do with revenu. It's straight up taxes.

And to the original poster, I have no issues booking on myid.

I highly doubt flair is segregating their tax revenue to seperate accounts ….

Nope. Airlines are paid 4%-7% by the airports for collecting the fee. It generates revenue, and its why most airlines charge their non-revs the AIF. Also, Accountant is probably right. With Flair not paying taxes, their lessors, and who knows what else they may very well decide to collect AIFs and not pass them on to the airport authorities.

Working fine for me. But the AIFs are there now

The only protection their directors have from any personally liability with the CRA debt is segregating tax revenues into seperate accounts.

If cash flows are an issue, i'd be shocked if they're even doing that. It's one of the first signs of insolvency.

Given the nature of their financing arrangements that are known, and the significant amount of extra debt they are carrying, I'd be surprised if they last more than 6 months in the current form.

Expecting to see some sort of consolidation with another entity sometime soon.

2-300 Million @ 18% (non cash as of a year or so ago)
67 million to the feds @ 10%
Ongoing operating costs.

Not a pretty balance sheet, especially being an ULCC

The old saying? How do you become a Millionaire? Be a billionaire and run an airline

@FurHat, thanks for the info. Figured it was a tax and nothing else, the more you learn.

@Accountant it does sound likely some form of consolidation is happening or soon will be. Time will tell.

If Flair is bought, or merges, or whatever that ends up being, it sure would be interesting to see the result of that. Lots of speculation right now. What the truth is, we'll see soon enough.

Works normal, man.
Book under Pilot Commuting Listing.
$1.96. I just tried it.

[CaptDukeNukem]

Okay. Seems to be working again for me. Might have been a IT issue. The AIFs are definitely there now tho, even under pilot commuting listing. Thanks for all the responses. The 1.93$ was such a good deal for so long lol. Shame it ended. But yea there’s always been a big debate about these fares on standby commuting travel. Cheers

I just used it, had some trouble, first it wasn’t showing flights the should have been available as available.
Had to keep switching the date and when a flight finally showed up, I used the date tabs above to switch the date to when I wanted, then when it was there select it.
After inputting the required information, a pop up message saying back door booking wasn’t available or something to that effect, it took three tries before the booking was accepted.
Could be a myidtravel thing but my next booking on a different airline worked without any issues.
Also, the taxes are now added, no more 1.96, which obviously we all knew this would eventually end, when something is too good to be true, it usually is!
