Thomas Cook flight pulled

[meggie]

On Tuesday of this week i received an email from Thomas Cook to tell me that my holiday booked for Fuerteventura had a flight change from Saturday 4 October to Wednesday 1 October. The flight i had booked was to depart from Manchester at 13.45 on the Saturday. When i rang Thomas Cook to say this was'nt agreeable to me i was told the flight had been pulled and no alternative other than the Wednesday flight or a full refund of my deposits could be given.I asked for the refund and then went onlline and found that  My Travel owned by none other than Thomas Cook had a flight departing on Saturday 4 October at 15.30 which i am now booked upon  but not before i had to sort out the problem of somebody in the Thomas Cook office cancelling my new booking in mistake for the original booking.This was quite a painstaking process but at least i'll be back for my regular October jaunt.

Are you going for 2 weeks?  Just looked on the Thomas Cook site and there is availability on 4th but no return on the 18th.  Don't know why.

meggie, they did that with our flight out of Glasgow for our August trip.

Had to wait ages for my money back, while I had to re-book with another carrier, who only flew out on a Friday.  That mean't more hassle re-organising my rented Villa to a Friday start.  Luckily enough the owner was very accomodating.

I will, if possible never fly with TC again. I was on the brink with them in any case due to their leg room, or lack of !!

Kenny i had paid deposits on my visa debit and both my refund of £402 and my new deposit of £666 was in and out my account by Thursday.

My past experiences with TC & Thompsons had be come to the conclusion that I would either need to have surgery to fit into their seats, or find another airline. Our last two trips have been via Sleazyjet, & oddly enough we have no complaints.
