Tell you these companies have more neck than a giraffe.
Booked holiday to Rome and Sperlonga with Travel Republic. All seperate, firstly flights with jet2, 3 days in Rome hotel,then onto Sperlonga for 8 nights, back to Best Western for 1 night before flight FCO.
Looking on Trip Advisor sees my Sperlonga hotel ..quote.Our booking was cancelled by the hotel with less than 48 hours notice ("we are unable to honour your booking"
. The hotel had been closed by the Carabinieri several days earlier. When we later checked the closed hotel for ourselves, we found a notice on the door which gave the reason for closure as financial irregularities....
Rang Travel republic who were happy to cancel paid for hotel for £40. They would refund 40 £ off any other booking within 30 days. Didnt much fancy the other hotels, so said is it possible to just do the Rome part? Change flight just to the days..this is where it gets a nause...Flights cost £324.38..they want £500..yes FIVE FKN HUNDRED QUID to ammend them from 2 weeks to 3 days..Travel republic are saying its jet2, so I got our reference off TR and phoned. After a lot of well those are the set costs conversations, I asked for a team leader. They are escalating my query to a manager, who will contact me within 48 hours..
Toys AND dummy went out by this time, back to TR cancel all 3 hotels(£40 each transferable to new booking). If JET2 decide to be reasonable, then I can book my 3 days in Rome. If not I,ll cancel at £324.38...still cheaper than ammendment fees..tut.
Moral of this tale, stick to flippin Turkey
