Don't Book Your Wedding With Thomas Cook !!

My daughter booked her wedding in Zante in June last year ,the wedding is meant to be in 5 weeks time . After waiting for a reply to her emails and phone calls , she found out yesterday that she will not be able to marry on the beach as she requested 11 months ago but that she needs to do to go the town hall before hand and marry or get married in this country first .She is still no closer to finding out about the extras on top of the wedding package. The Y F wedding planner has been totally useless and this has caused so much stress to us.Thomas Cook was very helpful when taking the money but now we are left wondering if the wedding ( which her father and I have paid lots of money for ,dresses ,outfits ,family travel to Zante ) will actually go ahead .Wish we had booked through ' Zante weddings '.

Unhelpful Staff

I booked with Thomas cook for a holiday and got easyjet flights. Two weeks before travel, still needed to book seats or upload passenger information. I have spoken to Thomas cook and been told for the last four days that they will call back. An email will be sent out later today. I know it's a bank holiday, but the information will be sent today. When I asked for an manager I was put on hold then the line went dead. Use any other holiday company as Thomas Cook won't help you when they are at fault.

Misadvertising Accommodation By Misleading Photographs

***PLEASE BE WARY WHEN BOOKING HOLIDAYS THROUGH THOMAS COOK, YOU DON'T ALWAYS GET WHAT THEY ADVERTISE***

We have recently returned from a holiday booked through Thomas Cook after visiting their website and admiring lovely photographs of the accommodation. Upon arrival at the accommodation, our room looked nothing like the photographs on the website.

Once we arrived home, I raised a complaint with Thomas Cook regarding them mis-advertising holidays and they have declined my complaint.

Outstanding Customer Service (newcastle Gosforth Branch)

I cannot thank The person I dealt with and his team enough for the support, professionalism and efforts to rectify my mistake on booking my holiday. The Staff we really supportive helpful, going the extra mile for me, this is especially good as my istake was part of a symptom of a chronic illness (cognitive fog).

The person I dealt with at Gosforth Branch in has really gone the extra mile to ensure that my needs were met and that I was not penalised by my mistake. I would like to thank him personally for his support and efforts. I have not used Thomas Cook for many years and after a very disappointing holiday with TUI I was looking for a new Travel agency to work with. This person and his team have renewed my faith in agencies and I will certainly be using TC now for my future holidays.

thank you

Vindictive Seating Allocations

Myself and my wife recently had a flight booked to fly to Las Palmas MT 1068 10th September 18 and returning 24th September 18 MT 1069 and the booking was made via Saga Holidays.

We did not have pre-Booked seats but as only travelling as two persons man & wife did not dream of just how vindictive Thomas Cook Airlines lines would prove as on our flight out they refused us two seats together and on both our outbound and inbound flights we were allocated seats some ten rows apart,just unbelievable.

On returning to the UK i complained to Thomas Cook Customer services and guess what three separate complaints via email and absolutely no response they simple don't care a fig.

No, don't pre book your seats. The sooner everyone stops booking seats the better. It will cause them more hassle than it's worth. They are very petty and deserve to fail, there is absolutely no reason why airlines can't do this as part of the service. it should be stopped.

JohnNorthfield

You have missed the point completely as any airline acting in a professional manner should always attempt to allocate a man and his wife seating together and at British Airways this is as their policy but as Thomas Cook is only motivated by profit before passenger consideration they wish to squeeze every extra pound out of their passengers every time regardless.

Petebenson

Next time book a seat. If you fail to prebook your seats, don’t blame Thomas cook for the consequences.

Outstanding Customer Service

A Holiday to Cyprus that started with devastating news from my daughter that her partner had died. I was devastated, as was my husband ,I was numb and in floods of tears, so far away from home I didn't know who to turn to. They have a small son, how can she cope without his dad, I couldn't think straight. Enter your holiday rep at the airport. such a compassionate man. He went out of his way to help , gave both of us comfort and reassurance , arranged a Taxi to our Hotel, gave us his phone number for further assistance offered to arrange flights home if needed. kept in touch. He was absolutely brilliant we can't thank him enough. we were there for a family wedding. The next day my daughter assured me that her in laws were helping and that we needed to attend the wedding as that day would not happen again. We are am home in time for the funeral. I cannot thank him enough for his kindness. well done what an excellent representative for your company. We were staying at Golden Coast Hotel 19th September.

Cuba Food

We went to Cuba with Thomas Cook in March 2018 to the valedero resort. This was my daughter's wedding. During the first week we all had stomach problems. My husband was ill for four days had to have injections an medication off the doctor. We advised thereof who told us we should take faeces samples how we could do this I do not know. She said it would be recorded. We had a doctor's note but this was discarded by the room staff we then had to fight to get another copy. Three days prior to leaving I started to feel ill, on the journey home I struggled as I wanted to be sick, on the journey home I was sick. I went to my doctors who did blood tests which showed I had an infection. I spoke to the thomas cook complaints and was robbed off and told my husband and I did not have stool sales taken they were not taking our complaint any further. I lost a week from work due to my sickness. The moral of the story is get a stool sample taken if you are ill. All 9 of our party was ill throughout our holiday. I have never had this problem before and we have travelled extensively. I feel Thomas Cook are using fraudulent claims to enable them to accuse you of not telling the truth on genuine claims. I feel their customer service is appalling and will never use them again.

Absolutely Distraught

I have never in my life had such an awful excperience with booking a holiday. The hotel my friend and i was due to fly out to in 8 days is CLOSED. IT IS A BUILDING SITE. I had to contact Thomas Cook 6 times to finally find out that the hotel was not ready - they waited for me to contact them! I had paiud the full holiday off and Thomas Cook did not offer me any type of compensation and i simply had to pay more money to get transferred to another hotel all because it was late notice. I must clarify that Thomas Cook knew that this hotel was a building site for months before i finally got it out of them. I am devastated. Loss of money and complete loss of faith due to this company.

Hi we have booked to go to Gambia for Christmas this year,is it ok to go at the moment?  Also my passport runs out June 2018 will l have to renew before we travel.thank you.

JaneyReaper

Have there been issues with those who had booked to go to Gambia early 2017 where holidays were rebooked by Thomas Cook?

DaveWarren1968

How much does it cost to change accomodation oa holiday booked for Aug 2017 in Orlando if I booked it as a package for a family of 4?

filly99

I have just booked an All Inclusive Holiday online after being informed the hotel is 4 star. I have done extensive research the hotel is 3 star. We fly in a week, can I have my accommodation changed? I am so upset.

bobbyj

I have absolutely no faith in Thomas Cook and I suspect they will say the 4 star rating is their assessment which can be different to others. It's then a matter of conjecture as to who is right but I would advise to take the holiday and hopefully you will be pleasantly surprised. Should the quality of the accommodation not reach what you would expect of a 4 star then issue a formal complaint detailing the faults and of most importance take photos.

Hopefully though you will have a good holiday.

I am from Delhi and planning a Europe (Paris+Switzerland) trip in the next month. This would be my first abroad trip and spending my savings in that. I am about to finalise a package with Thomas Cook.

But I got confused from reviews available on Google for this company. As this would be our (me and my wife) first trip and I am spending a lot on this, I am concerned about the travel company.

Can anyone please share their thoughts about Thomas Cook or any travel operator which would be best for this trip?

Thanks.

My view of Thomas Cook is poor. The way our Maldive holiday was handled can only be described as appalling and Thomas Cooks arrogance is breathtaking. I would not recommend TC at all.

My preferred holiday / travel company is First Choice as most of my dealings with this company have been satisfactory.

I will be only too pleased to offer more information reference my dealings with Thomas Cook if you require. Regards

I booked a holiday to Florida for one week then a cruise for week two. We got a deal where all tips and a drinks package were paid for on the cruise saving us about £500 hence the reason we booked. When I started to look into getting transfers to the airport cheap enough but to the port it was a different story. Turns out it's a 3/4 hour journey and all transfers are costing in the region of £1,200/1,400. I was not informed that this port was so far away and would be expensive to get to or I would never have booked it there are 4 of us going so the cost is halved but the saving we have made from cruise is just going to get taking up with the transfer none of us drive. The travel agent keeps saying we told you all this but I know they never did because I would never have booked it knowing it was going to cost a fortune. 

Does anyone have any advice?

As for your issue with TC then you will get nowhere I am afraid to say as TC will quote the small print as their get out card. The only way any of us will get compensated is take TC to court and this is where the problem for us starts....money it cost more than most can afford and TC know this. My only suggestion is to put his down to experience and avoid TC like the plague. I know this is not what you wanted to hear but false hope and lies are not good either...Good luck my friend you are not alone by any stretch

Booked a holiday on Thomas cook website to chaing mai Thailand yesterday and guess what it turns out to be with flexitrips. Then found out our flights only go to bangkok, it's about 600 miles away from chaing mai. Anybody else have problems like us?

Hi. I'm not surprised by what you are receiving from Thomas Cook. I successfully sued them in April last year 2013 because of an "act of gross misrepresentation", the judges words, not mine. Thomas cook had hidden the information needed at the bottom of the page and then given me a button that enabled me to bypass the information that was so important. Clicking on this button then removed the one chance I had (and this is the important wording) "to make an informed decision". The judge agreed and I received the full cost of the holiday, all court costs and £1000 for the loss of the holiday. This was because I refused to go. If we had gone we would have received the difference between what we expected and what we got, probably the difference between 4* and 3*.

Distance selling rules DO NOT apply to package holidays, so once you have paid you are at the mercy of the tour operator.

First thing to do is write to Thomas Cook. Don't bother with the customer service cos' the computer will say NO. Write to the CEO. 

Explain clearly what the problem is and how you want it to be resolved.

Do not bother with ABTA they are there to represent the tour operators interests not yours.

If you have paid for the holiday using a credit card, then you can ask them to look into it. You do not have to approach Thomas Cook before you approach you bank. They are both equally and jointly liable for acts of misrepresentation so do not be fobbed of by them either. Take screen shots of everything to prove your case
