Another travel firm goes belly-up I'm afraid - I hope no OOFers were booked with them (or any of their subsiduaries) cos it looks like you'll have a fight getting any compensation :(

these tour operators seem to be dropping like flies so no guarantees :(
only protection seems to be to pay by credit card or visa debit - nothing else is guaranteed :o :o

Funny how the suddenly they go tits up due to the fuel price rise ( I feel the top brass get the money out well b4 its made public) plus the travel industry having boom time allegedly at moment due to us having a crap summer peeps booking hols to warmer climate !
Thats whats been happening so I believe.. 8-)

There's a guy in the office here that was due to fly with them next week. He's just grateful that he isn't stranded.

Im just reading about this further on the BBC website and you need to feel for this group......
"Also among those affected are a 130-strong choir on tour to Canada from Wales who were booked on Zoom and lost £50,000 when it folded last month, and then re-booked with XL. "

What sickens me is the way other airlines have suddenly increased their fares --- just seen on the news: A family due to fly out to Florida have witnessed other airlines Florida fares go from £300 to over £1000 in the space of half an hour !!!!!

Cheeky sods were still taking customers money and booking up till midnight as well.
Tip as am sure you weill all know, Pay for your Holidays on your credit cards (Automatic insurce)

i used XL for florida 2 years ago, its a shame how these companies can just fall apart with these consequences, do the public now have to pay for flights with someone else now?
-

Sorry to hear that mate -- but I guess better to find out now than at the airport -- or worse at the resort when you can't get home ( small comfort I know !)
-
I bloody crapped meself when i saw the news during the night as you all know me an my swmbo fly out to florida next weekend for 3 weeks and we have paid cash(no credit cards saved up to go) i am praying 1st choice do not go bump next :-X :-X

Just an hour ago, I stopped my son from buying his ticket to New York on his Maestro card. Here, I said, use my Mastercard - it's protected if the airline goes bust.
Silly me! He may be secure, but I don't think I'm going to see my £300 again... :( :(
-
My mate at works due to fly back next week & he's with XL, oop's wonder if we'll ever see him again ::) ;D
Totally sucks though, how can they be taking bookings just an hour before they fold, shouldn't be allowed. I hope someone gets a right good arse kicking :y

the guys in the call centre down the road from me have all been made redundant due to this from the news reports, not a good time to be looking for a job....
