Hi all,

?

In addition to what Ronald already mentioned, here a couple of facts.

?

1. On Sunday morning I had a chat with Ronald and suggested we should already do the online check-in. Ronald suggested to do that for the whole team. So at 12:17 I received the boarding passes which I have directly sent to all of you.
2. On Monday morning Ronald did his home test which was positive and therefore went to an official test center for the second test, which was also positive. After our (Ronald, G:unter and I) telephone call on Monday where we discussed the situation that we had to cancel, we agreed that Günter would contact the Hotel and I would contact the airline.
3. After I got home, I had a call with Ethiopian Airlines who instructed me to send a mail to reservations@... to cancel our flight. I have also asked for a refund. I got soon after a confirmation that the flights were canceled and later I got a mail that refund was done to the travel agent. I have tried to find out what amount they refunded to flugladen.de but they cannot give that.
4. I also tried to cancel the tickets at flugladen.de but could not do that as I did not book the tickets. Therefore I asked Günter to take action with flugladen.de which he did.
5. Next I had to cancel my parking at FRA so I searched their web side what to see what the condition were. This is what I found:
   Sie k?nnen Ihre Buchung jederzeit bis zu 24 h vor dem Reservierungsbeginn kostenfrei stornieren, danach fallen Stornierungskosten in H?he von 50 % des Rechnungsbetrages an. Bei einer Stornierung nach Reservierungsbeginn erfolgt keine Rückerstattung.
   I clicked the link and in a few steps the refund was asked for. I was expecting only 50% refund as I was late with the cancelation, but to my surprise they refund the full amount (at least that is what I understand from the document I got later).

?

So assuming that we knew already by Saturday or Sunday that we would cancel the flights makes no sense as I did the online check-in on Sunday morning. Why would Ronald go on Monday morning for a test if we had decided already on Saturday that we would cancel. In that case he should have tested already on Friday.
