Tara Moss among the airline customers 'held hostage' by repeated cancellations

Canadian-Australian author and former model Tara Moss is struggling to get home because airlines keep cancelling flights.

When Moss arrived in Sydney in early March, it was before COVID-19 was declared a pandemic. The dual Canadian and Australian citizen was carrying a single suitcase for what was meant to be a short work trip before returning to the west coast of Canada, her home since 2018. At first, Moss and her family thought they would return home in May but the flight was cancelled. The same thing happened in June, then July. Now her September and October flights have been cancelled too.

"If you are trying to get somewhere, you can find thousands or tens of thousands of your dollars sucked up by airlines who won’t refund or won’t even give you access to credits so you can book," Moss said. "The whole system is deeply flawed for consumers."

niltiac The airlines never had any intention of delivering the flights. They sell tickets to raise working capital & refuse refunds because the government allows them to commit fraud. Join the class action

niltiac Least she's stranded in the blue mountains & not India. She's gonna have to suck it up like the rest of us.

niltiac What I get from many responses today is that a lot of people read headlines and not articles (not new), support corporations holding on to people's money for services they won't provide, and think novelists are loaded. Also, my name is 'Kate' and I am a 'Model'. Hilarious.

Asher_Wolf niltiac Oh boo hoo!

niltiac Misleading piece. This isn’t journalism dishonestly omits from their airline bashing article that it is the federal government which caused the airlines to cancel due to the unique Australian ban on Aussies leaving the country. Airlines want to fly. Morrison don’t let them

niltiac The morrison government supports the airlines knowing how they operate when what they should be doing is supporting the consumers. The ACCC is a toothless tiger. The class action needs to go after the Morrison government. scottmorrison Its fraud when you don't deliver when paid.

niltiac Airlines are sooooo inconsiderate.

niltiac So !

niltiac what a drivel article 'poor' trapped in Aus Kate forced to live in her second home with family pfffff lazy journalism trot Kate, Laine Beachly, Jessica et al with these nothing stories .....do they all have the same agent me wonders?

niltiac Who cares
