companies vary usually 5/7 days before you leave but have known it to be 3 days it depends on how soon your agent receives the tickets from the airline

I would expect them three to two weeks before you go. If with two weeks to go you have not received anything then a word with your travel agent or operator does no harm.

im getting worried now.. we are just four weeks away from flying out to ibiza.... we have still not recieved our tickets etc..... im probably worrying for nothing... but last year i had booked to go away, and it was about four weeks befor the hols, that we found out the company we had booked with had gone bankrupt.... and not only did we lose all our money, but the company took more money from our bank card details.... some one please re-assure me! :cry:

Ticket usually arrive about 2 weeks before departure date, so I wouldn't worry.

Just to re-assure you if you tell us what company you are going with somebody on here will double check that they are still trading for you.

But just to re-iterate I honestly wouldn't worry :D

Yes Graham is right,It is normally 2 weeks before departure but if you cant settle because of what happened before give the TA a ring and they will put your mind at rest and tell you when you should expect them.
Hope this helps alittle :wink:

About 2 weeks before departure. Sometimes they can be about 7 days before in peak season. If you haven't recieved them a week before, give your agent a ring.

We travel with Thomas Cook 1st Sept, collected tickets from TA last Saturday.............
Today TA rang to ask us to collect new tickets as Thomas Cook have changed flight times ( one hour later both ways ) :roll:

Maybe its best to get them right rather than get them early :?:

Sure yours will be soon and right :D

when we travelled with jmc one year, i think we didnt get them until 1 week before, we went into the TA to chase them up and they didnt mind at all so go in and ask or ring them. thats what youre paying them for :lol:

trasjohno,
still no tickets just phoned thomson to find out when i will get them only to be told that they are in the shop waiting to be collected!!!!!!!! this booking has been a disaster from the day we booked it, never going near thomson again. i was told they don`t post them in case they get lost, they musn`t be able to use their phones because noone has bothered to let me know the tickets were there
