The airline is stable in this case. The people trying to charter their planes went bust.



Good point Keith, I guess it could say EasyJet but the Holiday Company might have sub booked from a 3rd party who were actually chartering seats from Easyjet -- and if they went bust --- so would your seats?

I could cry :(

Our flights for 26th this month are with Thomas cook but half of my wedding guests including my Maid of honour have booked flight only with H4U on a debit card :( and they can't afford to re-book their flights whilst waiting for a refund.

Looks like it will be a very small wedding :-\

I've just looked on Monarch and Thomas Cook website at flights and they are silly prices [:(!]

We have had a lucky escape....... we had already used H4U 6 wks ago, so we were booking for this Sept. for 4 wks.
As the service had been spot on, I was determined to book with them again, especially as we found Onur Air to be  beyond our expectation............ So next day with my card ready, and this, after choosing from a shortlist of hotels with the help of a very pleasant operator, I dialed the number  and a young man who obviously got out the wrong side of bed that day answered.
Unfortunately, I also got out of bed the wrong way that day and was'nt too sympathetic towards his attitude and the fact that 12 hrs before I had a choice of 5 hotels and now there were none.
He managed to suggest a different one but it was £150 more than it was two wks previous but we didnt want it then.
I told him I would get back to him and put the phone down, hoping to get a different person  next time...........Two full wks was spent online deliberating previous to this incident.
I logged on to CBF and read some posts relating to Travel Rep.... a company my daughter had a problem with once.
Nothing struck me as being particularly bad, so went online found something and booked...All within a half hour of putting the phone down on H4U....

The date, the price, and place I wanted.

HOW CLOSE WAS THAT?

Just watching on the news now, families at airports totally distraught, children crying.

Sad, so very sad. I know how we would have felt.
So, in a way, I've got to thank CBF...... Priceless info site.

Just managed to book new flights with Thomas cook. coming out on 12th Aug. Believe it or not i booked flights with Goldtrail last year which also went belly up!! Thomas Cook to the rescue last year too. Think theres a lesson there!! Dont always chase the last pound...
For those chasing refunds with atol. I got refunded last year (or should i say this year) after approx 10 months.
Keep smiling  :)
