Hi John flightpath

Wow a checklist for the 1983 IAT... as I was... what you would call a green horn then as it was my first time spotting... I didn't realise such a thing was available and to be quite honest, I hadn't even thought about one now.

If there is anyway of posting up that list, I would very much appreciate it indeed.

Or If you can scan it... I can pm you my email address.

Would really like to see the list and compare it with my note book.... If I can find it😁

Regards.

Better than just a checklist; for a while it was possible to get a complete movements list over the whole event. My checklists - from 1977 and on and the movements lists - are somewhere in the loft. Once I'm bored of decorating, cleaning, washing car etc etc during this lockdown I'm tempted to find and catalogue them.

Probably the same as everybody else that had already booked tickets I received an email yesterday updated the position with refunds and a portal should be up and running by mid-May.

Thank you for your patience. Today we start the process of refunding Air Tattoo 2020 tickets. Please look out for an email with the details of how to do this. We are sending these in batches so you may not receive this until later tomorrow. If you would like to carry over your tickets to 2021 you don’t need to do anything, and this will happen automatically. Many thanks and we hope to see you in 2021, our 50th Anniversary show.

I'm slightly surprised we only have a week to claim, however it was painless.

Personally I will reapply at Christmas when we should know a lot more.


Log into your account on AirTattoo.com HERE.Go to the My Orders page.

NOTE : YOU ACTUALLY GO TO

MY DETAILS FIRST

THEN MY ORDERS


Click on your 2020 booking and you will see if you are able to claim an automatic refund.If you paid by cheque, cash, standing order or also purchased merchandise in the same order you will not be able to claim an automatic refund. More information will be sent to you by email shortly.  This refund will be processed manually.

Fortunately I can afford to leave the money with them to roll over my ticket to next year.

Not received mine yet, but will be doing the same as Rugbyref. Leave the money there and get ticket for next year. Hopefully see you all there.

My only reason for cancelling is scepticism re 2021.

Yes you have to hope but using football as a litmus test the smart money from numerous pundits is saying it will be 12 months before fans get back into grounds or into any large event for that matter.

Even with testing I cannot see any kind of road map that gets us anywhere near getting an airshow on.

I hope I'm wrong.

I will be doing the same and rolling mine over and hoping for the best in 2021.

I got a cracking top row seat in the public grandstand right above the isle, so no seats in front of me. Don't want to give that up at all :D

Yep my refund appeared today as well.

When you hear a reluctance by Cambridge University to have anybody on campus indefinitely with aĺl lessons conducted by video link to May 2021 you do fear for airshows fullstop.

I've not yet had the e-mail about next year, is anybody else still waiting? I went for Mach 1 this year so might be down the list.
Thanks

Hi iainpenden

I bought 2 tickets for the Saturday and as of today still not had my email.

As I'm not in need of the money... I will be taking the option of rolling over to the 2021 show.

Hoping to get the email by the end of the week.

I've had nothing from FRIAT since the original email, saying they were looking at rolling membership over. I've looked in the pointless members area too and nothing been updated in there for a long time

The email I got (obviously links don't work here) addresses FRIAT to:
Dear Valued Customer,

Thank you for your patience in these difficult times. We can now process your 2020 Air Tattoo booking as either a refund or you can keep your tickets at the 2020 price and carry over to 2021. We are planning a fantastic airshow next year, the 50th Anniversary of the Air Tattoo (16-18 July 2021) and we hope you can join us.

What You Need to Do

If you would like to carry your booking over to 2021 then you do nothing. Your tickets will automatically be carried over to 2021 at 2020 prices.

If you booked a Viewing Village Grandstand seat or FRIAT package your seat number will be carried over too. Thank you!

If you would like a refund please complete the form HERE. Your refund payment will be made by Bank Transfer (BACS) as your original booking was not made by card via our automated system.

We will try and process these as soon as possible however the majority of the team are on furlough leave so may take longer than we would like. We appreciate your understanding at this time.

If you have not completed the above form by midday on Wednesday 27 May you refund may take longer to process.

Many thanks again for your support and patience.
Kind regards,
Air Tattoo Customer Services
