Fourth place down might be worth a visit as an alternative to Calis.

Cosmos increases capacity to Turkey



Cosmos and Avro Flights have increased flight capacity to Turkey to soak up demand from customers of the failed tour operator Holidays 4U.

The pair have added more capacity on existing flights to Dalaman from both Gatwick and Manchester throughout August, and extra flights have been added throughout September and during October school half-term.

Cosmos managing director Hugh Morgan said:  "Since the news came through about Holidays4U, we have been working closely with our travel agent partners to assist them in re-booking flights and holidays for their customers.  Our commercial team has been working hard to get as many extra seats on sale to Turkey as possible."

Cosmos and Avro still has packages and flights available to other Eastern Mediterranean destinations during peak season including Corfu, Crete, Kos, Rhodes and Zante.

Its been a couple of days now since the news about H4U and from the response to this topic there were (are) some very worried people posting.
A lot seem to be unsure if they would get a refund or not and how to go about doing just that, and others struggling to find an alternative flight to the one they had booked with Aegean.
I am now wondering if everyone has got themselves sorted out as to  making a claim with their credit card company or the CAA. I know from experience that filling in the ATOL claim form can be quite daunting to some people so if they are unsure about anything please post your concerns and questions here as I'm sure someone  on this great forum will be only to willing to help and advise them if they can.

and i am desperate to know how people who have booked one way flights back into the uk through aegean are getting on! we flew out with easyjet, but are due to fly home with onur on 29th august/ we are be8ing told to turn up for the flight, but dont know fo9r sure what is happening. airport websites are st8ill showing ohy flights operating in and out...so i am hoping we wont have a problem! any news anyone???

Hi,
I am also flying home to the UK on the 29th August, which re-assures me that I am not the only one returning, after all the package two weeks have been dealt with.  I phoned up ATol who stated that I should phone once a week to check on updates and or monitor the ATOL site.

`biff, keep in touch...any news i have i will post on here.  got quite a few friends flying home with onur in next few days back to newcastel and gatwick...they will advise on what happens at airport and i will keep you informed.  all flights do still to be operating as normal, and i think that as aegean and h4u are not the only agents (be it the biggest) who use onur from uk, then the flights will still operate.  only thing is, if the flights are only now half full (as outbound passengers will not be boarding nor returning) then there is a strong likely hood that they will combine flights into one?? dont know, just a guess/ anything is better than being stranded. my worst nightmare (as a turkish friend told me last night) is that they are concerned that Onur will go themselves very shortly. Just praying it wont be till afte the holiday season! my friend has spoken to a guy by name of Michael   at the caa, who assures her that we will definately get home. keep in touch. (but dont email me as i have no access to my stated email address out here!)

The ATOL site was updates yesterday and it states:

From Wednesday 11 August some of the flights due to be operated to the UK by Onur Air will change.  Information about these changes will appear on this website page.  Holidays 4 U and Aegean Flights customers due to return from their holiday on and after this date are advised check this website to ensure they join the correct flight.  Where a different UK airport is shown, the CAA will make arrangements for transport to carry customers back to their original UK departure airport.

It also states:

Passengers who purchased one way tickets with Onur Air from Turkey to the UK are not included in the CAA's repatriation operation, and should make their own alternative arrangements.  Some customers may be able to get a refund for their original flight from the ATOL Scheme or their credit card issuer.

I assume that means purchased DIRECT from Onur Air...
