Soory to hear about your experience yesterday. I can't offer any help but it might make it easier for others to suggest something if you tell us where you stay and which airports you are near.

it was awfull, we were flying from manchester yesterday but could go from liverpool,my brother is out there we have hired a villa in kissimmee

I must admit, I had some difficulty following your post due to the lack of full stops. We will need some more information and, also, this thread might be better off in the Complaints forum depending on what the situation is. You said you "can't get" a flight but does that mean First Choice are refusing to put you on an alternative flight free of charge, or does it mean that all their flights are fully booked?

Assuming you had travel insurance, there is usually a clause that will reimburse you if you fall ill and are unable to take the holiday. One thing you could consider is phoning your insurance company and asking if you will be reimbursed the cost of the outbound First Choice flight if you are able to find another flight with a different airline in the next couple of days. You would then need to purchase said flight on your own and submit a claim to your insurance company.

I am no expert on these things and, like I said, this thread might be better off in the Complaints forum but I can't say for sure until we know the reason why you say you can't get a flight.

Sorry about grammer, but a bit upset at the moment. No this is not a complaint against first choice. they offered us a flight today at 130pm with a charge of £140 each. We could not take the flight because i could not get a letter saying fit to fly until 11am. I was asking if anyone new which airlines flew from manchester or liverpool over the weekend. i have tried looking on the inernet with no luck. My husband has spoken to them this morning,but havent been able to contact them since. He will try again tomorrow.

Hi again
I found a flight on monday morning with Virgin Atlantic from Manchester to Orlando. It was about £580 but wouldnt your insurance pay for that? If thats too much you could fly Glasgow to Orlando on wednesday for £154. I found these 2 in just a few minutes so I think there are probably more out there. You need to check they haven't cancelled your return flight as they normally do that if you dont use the outward flight.

Thank you
We will check with first choice about return flight tomorrow. Hubby trying to get in touch with them theres no answer. I am ringing insurance. Hoping to get a flight tomorrow.

Look at http://www.lastminute.com
There are flights to Orlando from Manchester tomorrow and monday with KLM, Air France and Continental.

Rang insurance we are not covered for medical or missed departure.
We will have to cancel and pay again but there are no guarantees we will be reimbursed.Norich union are sending me a claim form.

expedia have a flight from Manchester tomorrow at £353(KLM)
I hope you get something!

Hi

Not wishing to detract from your original question, but why are they saying you are not covered for medical or missed departure?

Surely, these are the most important item's on any travel insurance!!

I'm happy you're feeling much better and able to travel.

Hi Driver02

I totally agree

Norich union have said, i was not covered for medical but would have been covered if we had left the country.

Missed departure cover, if public trasport lets you down or you have an accident on the way.

We are waiting for a claim form for cancelation.Hopefully we will be able to claim some money back. We cant fly out as i have had a reaction to the medication i was given.

The insurance we have is through Barclelys bank.

I'm not sure I understand. Is the insurance through Norwich Union or through Barclays? You have mentioned both and I am a little confused, but probably I missed something.

Hi Jac 47

I'm so sorry you've lost your holiday.

As the topic now relates more to insurance more than finding another holiday, please can you post any further questions in the travel insurance topic HERE.

Many thanks
