I hadn’t received it at 15 weeks, contacted them went through the whole process and they said “sorry can you call back tomorrow, I don’t know”. Still haven’t got the refund
Take them to DT? Otherwise I'm not sure if you could complain to the CAA about the UMNR bit. Being locked in a room is highly unsatisfactory as is the Airband issue. Surprised really!

Edit: Agree with TK. I generally (and genuinely) am not a favour for emailing the CEO for most customer service issues, but this is one that someone needs to unpick pretty strongly.
