thank you XL

i've always been cautious of XL given that for the last 7 years, no matter what time of year i've gone, there has always been 1 of their planes in the airport with a severe delay. i wouldnt book because i was worried i might end up losing some of my holiday.

i feel gutted for all the people who've lost out, especially this poster who's lost £6000. im guessing this included hotels, disney passes, maybe car hire and thats why the cost was so high?

the rest of us can look forward to more expensive holidays now another competitor is out the market.

Most agents don't even earn 15% so how can you compete in a market when every customer wants a holiday at cost? If the tour operator and the agent don't earn any profit thats when companies go out of business and thats what you see happening now.

I know this might not be a popular view but i feel this must be said.

Tour operators historically made money by taking deposits and managing their cash flow well, rather than actual mark-up on the package.
