Thomas Cook really is going to go bump

[Pokster]

I struggle to comprehend why anyone would book a package holiday; be it with Thomas Cook or any of the other odious companies out there.

Get on to a Thomas Cook aircraft, then onto a Thomas Cook bus to your Thomas Cook hotel where Thomas Cook food can be consumed from a Thomas Cook buffet. Don't leave the resort for a week before getting back on the Thomas Cook bus to go home

Yep, because all package holidays are just like that!

The best ones are in Dubai, I've heard.

I’m not sure why people would put off travelling to Europe for their hols due to Brexit ? Is it because they think they won’t be let in, or because they’re worried about job losses.

It's utter *******s, just a lame excuse

Quite, can't wait for my all inclusive week in Cyprus, swim up room, loads of stuff for the kids to do

And the extra protection you get from having booked it as a package......

Certainly has been my experience.

Although I'm not too sure what makes a holiday a package holiday. If I phone a travel agent up and tell them I want a specific resort for 7 days in mid October and I want to fly with a certain airline and they come back with a price for transfers, hotel and flights, have I just purchased a package holiday?

no wonder they're not sticking on extra flights to Baku!!

I feel almost guilty about how hard I stiffed Thomas Cook. No I don't.

No........ you have done what you would do at home and booked all the individual parts of a holiday. Package holiday is when the company "buys" seats and hotel rooms and sells them on as a package.

Clearly there are some less desirable packages and destinations and most unfortunately the flights are not separated by hotel rating. I suspect there will be some Ayia Napa types on my flight
