Can you claim for TC flight if it was part of a package holiday?

Talk about not accepting no for an answer !!!

ATOL covered you for a return flight. You got the return flight and now you want to claim for the flight which was replaced for free by ATOL?
You can't claim for loss when the loss has already been mitigated.

The CAA told customers who were coming back from the west coast of USA (who had to sort their own flights out with BA and Virgin at no cost) that if they had booked premium seats with Thomas Cook, it was tough titties and you cant claim that back from them.

Same no doubt applies with travel insurance. The excess wouldnt make it worth it anyway, no doubt.

I think what happened is someone let it slip that as Atol were getting everyone home EVEN if you had no Atol protection but were with Thomas Cook,you could technically claim that you had to buy a flight and claim the original flight price back off your credit card company IF YOU ARE THAT F

Surely you would have to provide proof you bought another flight?

Yes, and now you are looking to try and get money back on that flight. Do we have a "rolling eyes" smiley on here?

Wow, what a chancer.

Hopefully the administrators dig out who exactly had what down the line, and they'll put 2 and 2 together and reverse the chargeback or otherwise reclaim it from all of these greedy scumbags.
