Thank you to the fat cats that haven't been paying the bills and stole my money for my families flights to Turkey in two weeks today.
Travel Republic - Frequently Asked Questions - Answers page
absolutely gutted last night when I got the email to say the flights don't exist anymore. More for my family than anything as they have been looking forward to this for many months.
The original flights cost around £1,300 and as soon as I knew they had gone I called my bank and used the gold account for them to find me new flights as the accommodation was still booked using another company as travelrepublic (total holiday booked through these) are brokers that use many travel resources.
Found some flights but at a cost of £2,300, what could I do!? If I didn't book them there and then there wouldn't be any holiday in two weeks.
Annoyed that because I paid travel republic for the flights and they then paid holidays 4u that my credit card company cannot give me a refund. Instead I have to go via an atol claim against holidays 4u. If anything TR should give me the refund and claim from H4U!
Also disgusting that the other companies upped their flight costs upon knowing that H4U went bust but there you go, lesson learnt.
The only people that will lose out of this are the holiday maker and the Holiday destination.
I won't be using travel republic anymore either and will pay extra using the large package companies or even booking the flights direct and paying the hotel direct too.
Rant over, I just hope the brokers that booked the accommodation don't dissapear in the next 2 weeks, I don't mind once I am there as I will pay the hotel myself once I am checked in.
