Thomas Cook goes in to Administration
In the early hours of Monday 23 September 2019 Thomas Cook, Britain's oldest travel agent a 178 year old business has ceased trading.
After last ditch emergency rescue talks failed to find a bailout the holiday company Thomas Cook has gone in to administration. Customers in the UK who have yet to fly are advised not to go to the Airport as all bookings have been cancelled. Guidance for Passengers returning from Orlando thomascook.caa/custome...a/orlando-mco/ Thomas Cook has over 600,000 customers currently overseas, more than 150,000 of whom are from the UK. cdn.thomascook/status.html Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said the company's collapse was "very sad news for staff and holidaymakers". Mr Shapps has announced that the government and CAA has hired dozens of charter planes to fly customers home free of charge. The emergency operation, codenamed Operation Matterhorn, will aim to bring home Britons currently on holiday with the firm. Help phone number +44 1753 330 330 From CAA thomascook.caa/ Edited at 01:59 PM. |

Gutted...We must have flown on one of the last flights to Florida. We didn't think we would get here but we did. So sad to see such a long established British company go under...

So sad to read. Thinking of everyone who's booked flights or holiday with them.
We booked flights with Air Berlin and it went under so I understand the stress x

This is my second time of a TRavel company going under (travel city direct) I'm sure it will be ok, although it's still a bit stressful

Earning My Ears
|
I had flight only to Orlando next Wednesday booked with Thomas Cook, premium economy.
Just booked Virgin economy for about 600 more than I already paid with TC last year, Virgin wanted over 4000 for premium economy. I have a holiday in January booked with them including Premium Economy flights for half that, the power of supply and demand. |

We have flights only booked via TC airlines that when I go into My Booking via the original booking email show as normal & no references at all to not flying.
Do you think this is just a case of not being updated yet? Theres some info around about Condor asking for loans to keep them going as a separate entity & if your flight ref starts with a DE then it is a Condor flight - ours start with MT... Ive found Virgin flights for only a little more than we paid TC Airlines (on CC) so wondering whether to book these?
