Again, no need for the pointless digs, I was just giving my opinion on the current TUI situation, which you may or may not be aware of.


Nothing in digs other than your pointless cr@p attempt to dig at my response. Your comments on Tui if picked up could end you up in court, think about it DH and get real...

The difference though, is the cheap carriers are making customers aware of the cancellations and giving them ample time to make alternative (mostly free) arrangements.

TUI are leaving cancellations to the last minute and then lying to their customers and saying the hotels are closed which is the reason for the cancellation.

Any extra cover with booking a package has been heavily eroded by TUI by their dishonest business methods.

Independent every year for us, the locals benefit far more this way also.


You must book a lot of flights to "know" so much.
We had flights with both Jet2 (return) and Ryanair (going). Jet2 give us 28 days notice of a change of day, then 2 days later before we asked for a refund changed the day again. The call to them was typically long winded, but the refund was quick. Ryanair <2 weeks before simply cancelled and offered a voucher. Went online and found "refund" option, it was an awful procedure made to put you off. Refund took at least twice as long. Oh and we lost out on the exchange rate paying in Euro on the return. People should be checking they are not entitled to compensation on these late notifications as they won't simply offer them...

The argument on package v independent has been done to death on here and we are very pro independent, but the current situation does not add to the issue as far as we can see. Flights are being changed as much as any packages and with the latter you at least have some extra cover for the accommodation, although I totally agree the owners are doing a great job helping people when things change.
We’ve used Jet2, RyanAir and Easyjet since they started, so many a year and several times some years. By far the better has been Jet2 and I’m sure everyone knows the worst of the three. Saying that, it is the old saying “you get what you pay for” but we have actually had little or no problems with any of them throughout the years.

Sneaky Jet2 (who I’ve found to be very good), either their changing days of flights has resulted in too many refunds or they are trying a mixture of options to fill the planes. A bit of a catch-22 I think as it leads those who are not desperate to get away to sit back and wait until they stop the consolidation of flights, resulting in more because the planes are not full…

The cam look much sharper since the return a few days ago, especially at night.

and good news for the likes of people similar to myself who want & need to work.  OK I will need to wear a mask behind my little reception area but I can suffer that.  Hope to see many visitors soon.....enjoy your weekend.......
Hopefully the lifting of travel restrictions is good news indeed for you and the lovely people there Lesley. But no matter what is said here on the forum it will make little difference. It's the media here (or lack of it) that really matters and personally I think things are finely balanced. With luck these recent events are early enough and the numbers big enough for you all there to have some kind of season, albeit very little in the scheme of things with it being so late. I wish you all well and hope things turn out okay.

All great news for anyone wanting to travel. But just remember this is all one way i.e. England can do what they like, but if the in-bound country says "no" you are stuffed! Yes, I know not positive, but would you really want to make decisions without all the "pros and cons". Some here seem to think things only matter if they agree with their views ....
