Thomas Cook

TR001

Hi, not sure if this has already been discussed.. but I see that Thomas Cook has  relaunched as an online travel agent.
Does anyone know how safe they are to use or has any feedback? just a bit weary as prices are quite cheap etc..

Thank you :-)

The 'new' Thomas Cook is owned by Fosun, a Chinese company that paid £11 million for the name and were part owners of the old TC. I think you have hit the nail on the head, that many people will be wary of booking with a company that has already gone bust once and that may be reflected in their prices. They won't go bust but whether they decide to close down due to a lack of bookings is a different matter altogether, and no one has any visibility on that issue

The difference between the old and new company is that the new one doesn't have their own fleet of planes (like TUI, Jet2 & Easyjet do).

So they will be buying seats on planes.

They are no different to online companies like LoveHolidays, OntheBeach etc.

When the 'new' company was launched, I took a look at prices and wasn't tempted.
