This is my best friends cousins.

They are totally devestated, they're all just hoping that someone like Richard Branson can wade in and save the day.[-o<

Oh no...that's so sad

Really hope they can sort something out in time...so awful when they're supposed to be leaving in less than 2 weeks

Thats absolutely awful and so unfair. I dont really understand company/finance law but there should be some kind of contingency for customers when this happens. You only have to remember the Christmas hamper company that went bust and ruined everyones Christmas.

My OH's mum, partner and OH lil sis were ment to fly out yesterday at 13.30. MIL called me yesterday as it was their dream hol and they'd saved up for a few years to go. They were all so so gutted, crying on the phone etc.

MIL's partner managed to borrow money for flights for 2 adults and 1 LO £1800 IN TOTAL - JUST FOR FLIGHTS!! They were all stressed as they'd thought they had lost hotel, park tkts and car hire. I managed to get through to the hotel, car and tkt people (who they'd booked through travel city) and I was told every thing else still stands, its just flights cancelled.

MIL has been quite lucky as her ex hub's family have a house in florida and turned up yesterday with the keys to their house and said they could stay there.

I know there's going to be a lot of people who can't afford more flights so MIL is extremely lucky. I hope this couple get lucky somehow.

I went to see MIL yesterday and OH's lil sister's eye's were all red as she'd been crying all day!! Bless her!!

If things are all booked n credit cards, she may have some protection there.
It's worth giving Visa or Mastercard or whomever a call.
So sorry for the horrendous luck.
