I didn’t realise you could claim for this, I am having trouble finding decently priced direct flights from Manchester. Virgin are quoting at least £1000 more.

How did you claim?

In the same way as I claimed for my TC flights refund, except I wrote that I wanted to claim for consequential losses under Section 75 and told them what losses I’d incurred. I included my original TC booking invoice and my new flight invoice. You have to book new flights etc first before claiming

I would only book flights you can afford even if yoi don't win. We are moving to the edges of section 75. Plan on winning and pop the champagne if we do...

The concept of section 75 is your left as if the cancellation never happened. Lots have claimed and won these extra expenses but we mgiht have to fight so I would proceed with caution.

That’s what I’ve planned, so have gone with the cheaper flights from Gatwick, just in case. I can afford the difference in Premium Vegas from there but wouldn’t have been able to pay for flights from Manchester

Following with interest and keeping everything crossed.

We fly out on Saturday, had flights only with TC. Now going indirect with United and the additional cost is eye watering! Not heard anything about the refund on the original flight costs yet so will wait for that to be sorted then look at this.

🤞

Will be interesting to see how many banks pay out. My understanding is that they would pay for something that you booked for your Thomas Cook holiday ( say car hire) that you are unable to cancel and get a full refund - i.e consequential loss.

It was definitely worth doing. The worst they could have said was no but now I’m so glad that I claimed back.
It’s meant we’re still able to enjoy Premium Economy too with Virgin as I booked like for like tickets. We moved to Gatwick for cheaper flights but it’s the same distance to either Manchester or Gatwick from where I live so that’s fine too. I even managed to sort changing my non-refundable hotel with Hotels.com and reusing my Tesco non-reusable vouchers 😂😂 fingers crossed that it all stays as it is now 🤞🏻
