Urgent! Can I cancel a flight.......

Hi There

Can anyone help me urgently.

I recently booked 4 adults flights at Thomas Cook with Virgin and paid a £150 deposit.

Now Thomas Cook have an offer on BA flights that are £150 cheaper but they say they cannot transfer our flights without us losing our initial deposit which is a total of £600.

Can anyone advise on how we can transfer to the cheaper flights without losing our deposit.

Kind regards

    I'd say pretty much impossible unless you die or legs fall off. Airlines don't give their deposits up very easily if at all.

    :D

    Sorry-you've not a prayer!

    It's like if you bought a dvd player at £50 & saw it at £30 next week & asked for the £20 back-won't happen I'm afraid.

    The Travel Industry is full of deals that literally change by the hour.

    Sorry!
