Well this is rather good.
Sounds like it's written by a West Ham fan with a genuine affection for the club (or Mark Noble, at least), but very much tongue-firmly-in-cheek
I would imagine my Thomas Cook replacement flights, should there be any left, are now three times the price.
It’s really sweet of the travel industry to put up their prices for flights. It due to demand apparently. I’m more inclined to think it’s due to greed.
Demand is the same as greed.
Capitalism, init.
We were due to fly to Turkey on October 7th.
ie, a less in demand route?
It's really awful for those affected. (Unless they voted to leave the EU, in which case ... suck it up, it's what ya voted for
:hug:
We booked the resort, speedy transfer and flights via Travel Republic. Only our flights are TC.
Travel Republic have offered a full refund but I want replacement flights.
But at least I have a job. I didn’t turn up for work on Monday to find the place had closed.
Edit - there has always been an issue if you have a split booking. Each party tries to wriggle out of responsibility when something goes wrong.
Years ago, I booked a flight only with a package company but sorted out my own accommodation etc. To Turkey, by coincidence.
When I got to the airport for the return flight, it turns out they'd overbooked and I was turfed off. I found myself in Dalaman airport with no money, a travel rep who denied any responsibility because I hadn't booked a package, and no flight home.
Bizarrely, they had also overbooked the outward flight but because some folks had not turned up I got on the flight without any problems. As it transpired, I wasn't on the passenger manifest, so there was no record of me having flown to Turkey.
So, as I wasn't in Turkey, nobody had any responsibility to fly me home. :wahoo: Monty Python time.
We either go for a full refund of all monies paid to Travel Republic. Or replacement flights.
My call was finally answered after over 2 hours on hold. The man said there were flights available but I would have to pay some more money. I asked how much and he said ‘I’ll just put you on hold and find out’ then cut me off.
I’m now having a gin and tonic.
I have a pint glass for such emergencies.

MrsGrey, now come on, you can't leave us like that wondering what happened next - next instalment please. :biggrin:
