Thompson Fly warning

Hi,

I have been looking at last minute flights leaving either tomorrow or Thursday, I found a good price leavng tomorrow for Sharm from BHX, and was going to book another single flying back to Luton, I was all set to book online but decided to check how full the flight was as little man will be a handful and would prefer a flight with a little bit of space, I called up and apparently they no longer do one way flights from Birmingham and was told I could have had trouble at check in had I booked it.

According to the advisor a memo about this was sent to staff a few days ago but they have not got round to changing the website :rolleyes: so why on earth the flights are still bookable online is beyond me (well it takes you to the payment page without problems)

If anyone wants to book any last min flights maybe best to check with the call cente first, now I have to leave from Gatwick costing £80 more :-(

    Maybe TA's are allowed? I tried to do the same last year and was told it was not possible.
    Gone ... or have I?
