Low cost holidays gone bust

[HibbyDave]

Hope none of the guys used this site to book trip for Copenhagen.

We almost booked our summer hols through them,ended up booking with another online company

[Pretty Boy]

Not really relevant to Hibs but I looked at them last year for a holiday but no ATOL protection meant no deal.

Booked with them for Vegas, our flight is safe however awaiting email frlm hotel to see if they paid.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Used this company a good few times and I had an email shot from them today already advertising 2017 holidays.

It's a scandal how often this happens.

[Scouse Hibee]

Feel really sorry for folk who may miss out on a holiday because of this.It must be heartbreaking for families with young children. I tend to book direct with the accomodation and my own flights these days.

Indeed - more fool you if you chase the ace without ATOL protection.

I don't really have too much sympathy for those who've lost their money. One pays a slight premium for good reason.

That's a bit harsh, I'm sure there are many people who book without knowing.

A tad harsh,many struggle so much to manage a holiday that the cheapest option is the answer.

Really ! It's a bloody shame that some family's will miss out on their summer holiday . Who more than likely only booked the less premium one as that's all they could afford .
What a pompous post .

Wow. No sympathy for families who may lose their holiday?

That came across as a bit superior and lacking compassion mate.

You dont have much sympathy for people who have potentially lost a lot of money, nice guy

Cheers Sergey, £1200 highly likely out of pocket. Im not looking for sympathy but not looking to be told you have no sympathy for genuine folk trying to go on holidays. We have saved and will be ok however i am sure this will devastate some not so fortunate.

Sergey yer attitude stinks, do one.

Well maybe you should.

People who may not have known what ATOL was or may not have had access to a credit card.

People who probably worked for moths or years to have a holiday and are now screwed.

Aye tbf, I can't feel bad for them either. (sarcasm)

If you book a holiday/flight that isn't protected by ATOL then you have no one to blame but yourself if the deal goes breast skywards.

It's not rocket science. It's merely paying a small premium for this very eventuality.

Maybe if they paid by credit card it may cover them, I dunno.

[staunchhibby]

That response was in bad taste.A lot of families have no option but to go with low cost companies because of financial constraints.I have been the victim of a holiday company which had all the neccessary bonds in place but still went to the wall.

Wow, you always come across as a decent guy but your attitude towards folk less fortunate than yourself stinks.

Not the point is it and whats a small premium to you? A small premium might be a lot to somebody else. To have no sympathy for folk who have booked a holiday that has gone tits up is rather unnecessary IMO, there will be people many if genuine hard working folk and using this company was at time right choice regardless of ATOL or not. Thanks fir the ATOL lessons etc so glad you pointed that out.

As I said we will still go as the flights were paid for I feel for folk probaly honeymoon makers etc.

Sergey as I said do one.
