    Thomas Cook aren't charging you extra for booking easyJet flights and can only go by what comes up on our system at time of booking. Prices change so often during the day, they can go up or down... I honestly believe the worst thing you can do after booking a holiday is go online and start looking around to see if you can get it any cheaper!

    Kind regards,

    Hi,

    I am sorry, but I don't agree .... prices on Easyjet / Flybe etc, don't go & up & down so much on the same day - it is the system TC / Thomson etc are using to book.

    Doesnt really make any difference though. The TA offered a product at a price and the customer accepted.

    Why do you think that?
    Is it not good to book direct and save money?

    I think you may have misread by post - by all means do some research before booking and see if booking direct can save you money, but don't go looking around after confirming a booking elsewhere, you may find yourself being disappointed.

    I think your flights would have been booked through the flexibletrips.com system which is the middleman Thomas Cook use to book low cost carriers, they are the ones that put commission on the price of the flights, but it will probably have included hold luggage, checking in at the airport etc all extras that wouldnt have been included in the base price on the easyjet website. Obviously a low cost carrier flight is going to be cheaper doing it yourself as thats the point your doing it yourself, whereas the travel agent is running a business, but at least you will have some comeback or help from the TA is something goes wrong. Like the others say do your research first, not after booking.

    I have learnt a valuable lesson
    Thanks
