Just came back from a fabulous 2-week holiday in Turkey with First Choice. No delays, superb accommodation + food etc.
But..... we paid for 14 nights full board inc drinks with meals. Our flight times meant we were unable to have all the meals and drinks we'd paid for. We arrived on 30th July at 6pm in time for dinner - no probs.
Departure was at 1.40am from the hotel during our 14th night on 12th-13th Aug, so we never had our 14th breakfast or 14th lunch. Given that the hotel was 4*, each day we paid for worked out pretty expensive, so the value of the meals missed was quite a bit.
Should I make a claim for the meals we never had?
All advice gratefully received!

Did you not realise that before you went.
I personally wouldn't bother, you've had a good holiday, why bother with trying to claim for a few quid for meal missed.0 -
There's normally something in the small print that prices have been adjusted to compensate for any missed meals, etc.0

You knew your flight times before you went, I don't see what you have a claim for.Gone ... or have I?0

I would definately send a letter to them.
In an age where so many are quick to complain, I am sure that the customer service dept. at First Choice would love a letter thanking them for a wonderful holiday.Bad Spellers of the world untie0 -
No, I wouldn't bother - similar thing happened to me a few years ago. we paid £200 for our evening meal for 14 nights, when we got there we learned that we could have a voucher for £20 for 6 meals :rolleyes: and we were out on excursions most of the time so we didn't really benefit. I never fell for it again though
