Flight prices will go up, I'm presuming your price of £400pp more includes the flight? Flight pricing is set based on supply and demand, the more seats that are sold on a plane, the higher the price goes. With Monarch going under there is less supply, hence more demand for less seats. Add in the...

ATOL is nothing to do with Santander. Although they are correct that you can't get a refund from Monarch (and it was the 14th December when they stopped ATOL on Seat Only) although you don't have a legal right to get a refund like you do paying by Credit Card, you can request a "chargeback" from...

Who said that? Sent from my SM-J320FN using Tapatalk

Most Travel Agents include Supplier Failure Cover as standard, even on accommodation only bookings that aren't covered under ATOL. We certainly do, and would have arranged for a full refund - surprised Travel Republic don't?

From a trade perspective (and this is just a personal view) I'm not sure Monarch in the latter years were really sure what they wanted to be - they were both a scheduled airline and a package holiday business (95% Airline, 5% Package tells it's own story!) Historically they were one of the...

As mentioned earlier in this thread and it is reported and confirmed in the press, last October the CAA forced Monarch to take an ATOL contribution on their Seat Only fares (95% of their business) but on the 14th December last year, the CAA were relaxed enough about their financial restructuring...

So it's not about distribution it's about price - thankfully I don't go for your kind of market ;-) Just to give you a bit of background - I am a member of the UK's largest Independent Trade Buying Group. Taking Thomas Cook as an example, since they ramped down their Direct Marketing, they...

well that's a bit of a sweeping statement - "or 1 if booked through a travel agent" - how do you know, do you regularly check Travel Agents, because trust me, we have a lot of deals that can't be found online.........or is this just perception based on ignorance? not sure how to take your...

"you seem to forget that Owners Direct is owned by a major company and the sites are guaranteed" - umm just like Monarch........so naive! Sure they would offer an alternative............if one was available. Out of many examples, I'll introduce you to a lady who booked a once in a lifetime...

Don't ring me then when something goes wrong like your airline failing (surely that will never happen lol) or the owner of your property abroad decides either to sell the property or give it to someone else who give them a better offer (granted that's the minority of cases, but trust me it...

If you want the least hassle, book through an ATOL Travel Agent. Yes I have my own business - this morning I have rebooked customers flights where I'd booked an ATOL Flight Plus holiday at no extra cost to the customers. Couple of phone calls, job done. Package ATOL is a little different, if I...

In theory Monarch could have carried on flying without the ATOL Licence (only covers the package holiday arm of the business) but that would spook their Creditors not getting the licence due to financial issues and it would spiral into a Contigent Effect. Flying people back on their own planes...

Slots at airports basically - worth a fortune!!

Only 5% of their business was covered under ATOL - the package holiday part of the business. Last year when Monarch were going through the same shenanigans with the CAA, the latter made them also take an ATOL contribution on their seat only fares (the other 95% of the business) By December last...
