Flights into Turkey Goldtrail

[julesbob0303]

I had to rebook our flights for next week, because of the Cyprus Turkish Airline collapse.  I booked them about three weeks ago, at a cost of £640 for the three of us, a 30% mark up on my original kthy flights (booked VERY cheaply almost a year ago).

Those same flights today (after goldtrail going bust as well) are almost £1500 for the three of us.

It's crazy!  So glad I booked when I did; we were wondering whether to hang on in case Atlasjet managed to bail us out with our original flights.

True June, there's still no holiday for us though!

my daughter in laws sister was at the airport when goldtrail went bust she ended up paying £285 each for the 3 of them for alternative flights, money that she didn't have. she ended up phoning her dad who lent her the money,they were at the airport and her son who's 8 was really upset that they couldn't go on holiday so it's ended up costing her a bomb for one weeks holiday

I have Christmas flights booked through Agean does this mean that they will be with Goldtrail, I never thought about this when I first heard of the collapse of Goldtrail.

Not necessarily  it will depend who you booked with, give the company you booked with a call to find out..

If you have booked with Aegean flights they are nothing to do with Goldtrail.

Karennina,
Aegean are the booking agents for Onur Air, Goldtrail were a different Company who just happened to charter Onur planes.
I would guess your flights are safe (I hope cos I have some booked)unless Goldtrail owed Onur a lot of money and Onur can't stand the debt.

Oh thank you very much for the replies, yes they are with Aegean so looks like we are safe then!

Aegean are the "flight only" division of h4u and are one of many booking agents for Onur Air. They book flights with Onur Air, Pegasus and even Monarch if it suits their needs.  Goldtrail are a company who book a block of seats on Onur Air flights. They do not charter Onur Air aircraft.

No matter who you are flying with there has got to be a worry if you booked through Goldtrail

We got a phone call from Co-op travel yesterday who we booked a package deal with in May for two weeks in September.
We are now flying with Monarch and different flight times because of Goldtrail, I didn't even realise we were with them in the 1st place. . . Does anybody know the baggage allowance with Monarch airlines please.
