Had flights booked with Hols4U.Day they went bust rang Travel Republic who said to speak to credit card company.Did this and they sent me claim form which I filled in and returned.Got a letter from them a week later saying they couldn`t deal with my claim and had to go thro CAA.All this means I was 2 weeks late in getting claim in.Have managed to rebook flights with TC.

There is an article on money expert saying that the bank will try to fob you off but the cc company have to pay you, also on the CAA leafelt it states that if you booked a flight only you have to claim off credit card

[Katiehutchinson_1991]

sorry to hear about you losing flights
we also lost flights twice
with scot travel and flyglobespan
unfortunately there isnt much cheap flights going around as the big companies are increasing their prices dramatically

Hi Sue,,,I did also book accomodation which I am still able to use so that`s why I only claimed for the flight.I had to send the completed CAA forms back to Travel Republic first for them to complete their bits.Will let you know when I hear.

[Sue]

oh i see so you cant claim off credit card, I should be hearing something from the Halifax at the end of the week

[BOBUK]

Best of luck Sue.

Such a brilliant opportunity missed for the other airlines to gain some customer loyalty in my view. If just one of them had not put their prices up, or even offered a discount if you had lost your flight elsewhere, I'm sure it would have gone down great guns and brought them a ton of free publicity. Instead the greedy heads put the prices up.

What a horrible situation for anyone to be in, I really do hope all those affected get their refunds quickly. We were lucky not to have booked, but now can't afford our September trip cause the prices are just silly.

[BOBUK]

Very well said Noodles1609.

for those of you that have had to pay out extra for our flights send your receipt into the cedit card company they will credit you the difference, our flights were £170 dearer and i am getting it back next week

Sue is this true - my aegean flights for next year for 4 only cost me £546 to book the same flights with TC is £2375 surely they would not refund me this - would they?

I hope this the case but somehow I dont think that it would be. Why would the credit card company pay the difference, it has nothing to do with them that Aegean went bust.

Having said that it would be great if this was true

Hi, my credit card was Tesco Mastercard and they saw they will just be refunding the difference.
Sue

[sueles810]

OMG sorry, I think I need to go to specsavers just re-read my last post, meant to say they are just refunding the amount I paid, trying to think and type at the same time, not good at my age!!

[sunlover]

Ahh Sue - you had me getting all excited there lol

[Sue]

found the info on money expert under section 75 so i sent my receipt in and rang them and they said they will pay the difference as they are just as liable as the company that went bust, will only pay if you send your receipts in otherwise they would not know what you had paid, maybe more difficult with certain banks but the halifax has agreed

[annetta]

Sue

I'm confused!

Are you just getting a refund for what you paid for your Aegean flights?

Or are you getting the extra £170 back from Halifax too?

Anne

[Sue]

I am getting a refund for aegean flight plus the extra i had to pay for the new flights
