Prices are more expensive in October than they were in May/June/July/ August, Just another ploy to cash in on the many many unfortunate people who lost out on their hard earned holiday when they booked with Xl and it's countless subsiduaries, I have been monitoring prices since this and every single tour op has put up prices by £100 or more per holiday to Turkey, Even my trusted Goldtrail have put up the prices for the one I was watching before the collapse was £259 now its an incredible £379, Guess I will have to book somewhere else in October unless these thiefs wise up with the prices.

Logged onto SCOT TRAVEL website today and noticed that they are now charginga "travel supplement" of £120 per person. This is simply sheer expolitation of a desperate situation. I am quite sure that it wont be just them but these companies should be named and shamed for cashing in on other peoples misery

The day before the XL collapse I booked a 2 week holiday to Icmeler with Thomas Cook for £329 from Newcastle on October 3rd.Its for the Private hotel and on a B&B basis.I cant get on the Thomas Cook website but it would be interesting to see how much the holiday is now.

same here feel sorry for those looking to book we managed to get a ALL in package from thomas cook for 16th november 2008 just before the XL crash and got a price £1345 for 5 of us including transfers and inflight meals and even got a family room with 2 bedrooms at the Atlantis hote in belek. You have pay a supplement for those rooms per person per night but wasnt arguing just booked it at 269 each for a week. Look online and they not giving you the option of a family room now and it was last time i looked just uner £2000 for same holiday but in 2 rooms so dont know what a family room would be. The prices are going up so the tour operators havein a field day. :cheers

Hi Karen

Have you tried HERE the nergis is coming out at around £270 A/I with Thomas cook.

This website is also cheap HERE I havent used them before but they are ABTA bonded.

Hi basil brush 4 , that site looks good but after being stranded in Lanzorote when XL went bust I will in future make sure the holiday is ATOL protected, I can't see any mention of ATOL on the site in your link? Do you think it is protected?

thanks

Hi Chazy

The site says its ABTA protected as its a travel agent,but if you click on a hoilday that you are interested in, it will say if the company that is selling the holiday are ATOL protected.
