Im going 18th and I called them to ask about my tickets and they said 'oh yeah we have them in store, you can collect when you like' .... so might be worth popping into or calling the store assuming you booked through a store and not online.

My hubbie and his mum go 20 march and their tickets came 2 days ago from thomas Cook. They also booked on line.

ThomasCook have merged with Mytravel and we have(when booked with Mytravel) on one occasion had to collect our tickets at the airport. When we got home our original tickets were there (obviously arrived too late) so now what I do is find my price online and then ring the local travel agent (linked to the website ) and ask them to price match, that way you can go and collect your tickets if you want. Saying that, it wasn't really a big deal getting them at the airport, but you just feel better with them in your hands before you go.

Colleen give them a call. We haven't got our tickets either and on the same flight as you. They said they hadn't received them in their office and they wouldn't be sent now so we have to pick them up at the airport and that she would arrange that, so I would ring just to be on the safe side. She also said that we wouldn't be able to pick them up the day before only on the day of the flight from the Monarch desk, just means getting to the airport that bit earlier. I agree, though, I would much prefer to have them in my hand before I leave home.

All the holiday firms are a bit of a problem at present.Example.. We booked a holiday through Thomsons Direct for a Airtours Holiday, because Thomsons price was cheaper, but we had to cancel this holiday and booked a Aspro Holiday via the original Thomson Direct Holiday. When our tickets arrived they were Aspro Tickets. On our arrival at the airport the flight was a First Choice One but operating under Thomas Cook, ie a Thomas Cook Plane. When we got to the other end First Choice Reps looked after us.
I am rather pleased I had no complaints

Confused............

That reminds me I emailed them weeks ago about the cancellation - never got a reply. Keep hanging on Irishcolleen, hope its not an 0870 number

I don't think I would be very happy with that reply. If you stand in the queue without a ticket and they refuse to deal with you , what do you do then. Can't they issue tickets for you to collect at the airport , thats the usual system.
I think I would be making a few more phone calls, using Glynis's 'sayno...'

I'm sure you will sort it out and get there for paddy's day???
