Jump to unread Post a CommentPresumably you know more than the average punter on here and can make some enquiries yourself about your PPL. Cheapskate springs to mind.....(_;) And, is it not licence?
No shame in being a cheapskate. We're all cheapskate aren't we, otherwise we wouldn't be on this site!
Starting to sound like a scam...
I have had a google around and I see Groupon also did this deal with Hinton so it is not as if Mighty Deals and Hinton Flight Training are ghost companies set up to defraud you.
Here is a post on Pprune re Hinton Flight Training and posts are positive (Pprune is a pilot forum):
http://www.pprune.org/private-flying/474006-hinton-pilot-flight-training.html
Also I checked out the registration for G-DIAT, the PA28, and it shows on G-INFO (the CAA aircraft database) as registered to Hinton Flight Training:
http://www.caa.co.uk/application.aspx?catid=60&pagetype=65&appid=1&mode=detailnosummary&fullregmark=DIAT
So it seems they are a bit sloppy answering calls or returning messages but it all seems legit. Of course if they have gone bust then the above would mean nothing and you would have to try a chargeback from your card company. Also my understanding is that companies like Groupon etc don't pay the company their share of the fee until you have completed the experience so if the company went bust Mighty Deals should do the decent thing and just issue you a refund.

Thanks for all the info on the companies, very kind of you to post in such detail.
Finally managed to get through to the booking centre. They confirmed they won't be booking for a week and even then may only get flights from Hinton, not the other bases. They confirmed have problems with their MD at the flight company and referred me to Mightydeals.com for a refund, so sounds like they are going bust. Mighty Deals have no phone number except the automated menu. They have not responded to my query. I have seen other websites referring to them (Mighty Deals) being a scam (moneysavingexpert forums). Next step, fraud office at my bank.

I was a little concerned about all this but unfortunately the chap seemed unconcerned that his staff were turning people away like that. Oh well, its not my company :)
Hopefully the flight goes better than the booking :)
Think I've been had for £175
My advice would be to stay well clear of Mighty Deals as there a totally uprofessional outfit
Any company that cannot be reached by phone should ring alarm bells.Never have I had such poor service in all my years of buying goods from the net
DO NOT USE MIGHTY DEALS THEY ARE AT BEST EXTREMELY INCOMPETENT OR JUST FRAUDSTERS.
Find out at your own peril.
Does this mean he is going in a microlight as opposed to a 2 seater light aircraft. I am confused or have we been conned?
Has anyone else used their deal and was all ok?
