Have to say we have been to Sharm 3 times with TC and never had one complaint.

Thomas Cook have caused major problems regarding overbookings and change of airlines, not only in Sharm but in Hurghada where I am travelling to in August.

I've always booked with them in the past, but after the fiasco they have caused this year - NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!!

I cancelled my holiday with TC after the redsea hotels contract was cancelled and they tried fobbing me off with a hotel i wouldn't want to go to if it was free let alone pay for.

It took 2 months for them to refund my deposit. Needless to say i wont be using them again.

Glad to hear it's not JUST us. The letter they sent didn't even contain an apology! I still can't quite believe that we were expected to pay the same price for a day's less holiday. What on earth is going on with them?

On a happier note, we've just managed to rebook our holiday with a different tour operator - mind, it's cost us an extra £300, but at least we're still going!

Thats really bad have you tried booking through travel republic! they are really good. You can get a good deal and book on line or ring them.

bump!

hi i agree with above try travelrepublic we always use them never had a problem and price you see is price you pay click on the link www.travelrepublic.co.uk you can book over internet or by phone no extra charge but we find transfers expensive with them they wanted £74 to our hotel we got them for £24 with www.medhotels.com we always use them to make quite a saving good luck in your search, tracy

Cheers Tracy

I did try TR, but couldn't get the hotel we wanted. I have managed to book with a company called 'On The Beach' though. Has anyone used them? The flights are with XL

Hi LizziTall,

Ya we booked our holiday with OTB for September all service very good!!

Also went to Tunisia last year with Xl and they were fine planes were quite new and the standard was good.

I think you now have to pay extra for a in flight meal but that is the same with most airlines at the moment.

enjoy your holiday.

yeh we had the same problems with TC, in the end we cancelled and rebooked with some1 else and no apology whatsoever from them will not use them again if i can help it!!
