Thomas Cook Update


On Monday 23rd September, Thomas Cook went into liquidation, further to our blog yesterday.

For those still on a Thomas Cook holiday the return flight will be via another airline where there is space to take passengers or a CAA repatriation flight. The costs will all be covered by the CAA.

Thomas Cook – Next Steps

  • 1.       Continue with your holiday.

  • 3.       Don’t go to the airport for information until flight details are published on the CAA website.
  • 4.       Travel to the airport at least 3 hours before the flight.

Thomas Cook – Make a Claim

Got to the ATOL   to claim if you are still abroad.

If you have made a future booking, do not go to the UK airport- there will be no flights. Again make a claim for future bookings
