Had me fly around Cuba twice instead of over flight.

If tat's a complaint I don't unerstand it. Why on earth WOULDN'T you go around Cuba? They have an air force and they have SAMs. They can come up and get you if there's a dispute about overflight.

I'd just as soon leave it all alone and go around.

The services we use all screw up pretty regularly - no matter how much or how little of the trip we give them. It's not like they miss on overflight permits - more like they don't start trying to get them when you ask them to so you'll have it all nailed down BEFORE you leave.

Had them fail to provide weather updates on tech stops that they were doing the planning for - inexcusable as far as I'm concerned. Had them run flight plans at the wrong mach and then refuse to reverse the charges on the improper plans. Had them fax stuff when it should have been e-mailed to save communications costs.

Just last week, all they had to do was plan me and file me from the south of France to BIKF and then to KINL. I told them I didn't want to go over London. Guess where we went? Uh huh.

Out of BIKF we had some info that was required to be in the remarks section of the plan and it took me three SATCOM calls to get that done.

It just seems like no matter how much you give them there's a certain percentage of it that falls out of bed. You really have to have a good idea of how you want the trip to run BEFORE you toss this stuff at them. That way, you'll know when they start messing it up.

Be sure and check the EuroControl website. You can fax your itinerary and they will fax back an estimate of costs.

International is all about PLANNING as has been stated before.
