TACV Cabo Verde Airlines review by christopher 2016-11-02

I booked my flights for January 2017 between Praia and Maio in June 2016. Without telling me they changed the schedule including the dates twice making it impossible for me to make my connections. It's a good job that for some reason I checked recently. As I was trying to sort out my other flights to fit they changed the schedule again. This was the last straw and I cancelled the booking asking for a refund. That was two weeks ago and no refund has arrived. When I chased them up I was told they'd do it "soonest" whatever that means. Be aware that if you book with them you are likely to have real problems. It's not really surprising that they're broke. It was rumoured that the Canary Islands airline Binter would be taking them over but it seems that the Cape Verde government have blocked it. They'd rather see their hopeless airline go bust than lose face it seems. It's such a shame that such a wonderful part of the world that could have a thriving tourist economy is being ruined by such a dreadful airline.
