I thought flights would be covered by ATOL? My sister had booked and paid for flights in September. We have a package booked so ATOL will cover us, but not my sister from the sound of things :/

We book with alpha travel insurance, they have end supplier failure! Thomas Cook will likely sell their airline its profitable and have both Lufthansa and Virgin bidding for it!
They have just also suceeded in securing a £300 million banking facility to see them through till next year! Its not as black as is painted,but I would recommend end supplier failure!

Yes that's not available until October though so I suspect it only comes with conditions (guessing ) such as selling the airline.

Don't worry everyone its pointless Thomas Cook have been going for over 100 years and there is still life left in them, threads with unfounded doom and gloom dont help, just make sure your covered for every potential.
The anouncement today was expected and the share price is already recovering!

Yes it could be there are conditions on the further lending, but suspect they have said they don't need the money until Autumn. Will be interesting to see if it's still lent if things get worse.
I really hope TC comes through this as I think it's a good company, I've never had any issues with them. I was caught on the Monarch fiasco though- had three flights with them booked. One ended up being ATOL protected due to a secret insistence by the government that they had to have it as it looked very iffy. One was on Amex, got that back straight away. One was by bank card- got that back via chargeback thankfully. Still cost me over £1000 though as new flights I had to book were by the time of 2 of them, much more expensive. With Monarch people knew there were issues but it limped on and we were told it would all be fine. The government knew a lot more! Edited at 10:33 AM. |

Me too,I have flown loads with Thomas Cook and there customer service has always been great! I worry about the smaller airlines disappearing and we only get the big boys, flight prices will go through the roof!
We lost our holiday in 2008 a week before when XL went under it was a nightmare we managed to go in the end but I hope I don't have to go through that again!
