Thomas Cook Compensation

I logged a complaint with Thomas Cook for 27 hour delay in flight to Cuba. They have today issued a voucher for a holiday - can they do this or can I insist on a cash payment?

    Hi and welcome to MSE, would you please detail your success in the Thomas Cook thread to help others, and yes you can ask for the cash.
    Posts are not advice and must not be relied upon.
  • I too have been offered vouchers instead of money for an 8 hour delay on a flight home from Majorca.....

    I only applied following Martins advice after seeing him on Mondays this morning...... Is there anywhere that shows how to ask and how insistant I can be asking for the cash instead... further information/help on how to do this would be appreciated

    Quite easy. You say : "I don't want vouchers, I want the cash the law entitles me to".
