Another Thomas cook (aka honeymoon destroyers) problem....

[sw1sst]

Hey,

 

just thought I'd ask a couple of question here, pretty similar to a couple of other threads but I'll post anyhow.

 

My fiance' and myself are getting married in August. I have NEVER used a package firm previously as I have heard some heart breaking stories, I'd previously always used last minute firms or fleetway....anyhow.

We booked a two week honeymoon in Egypt some 8 months ago. we were meant to be flying two days after our reception. We have booked a hotel near our reception and the following night at the marriott in gatwick. We have a bbq party booked for the day after the wedding where we can relax and really catch up with some of our guests who have travelled half way round the world to come to our wedding.

 

A few days ago we recieved a letter out of the blue from Thomas Cook saying our flight on Monday morning had been cancelled but they had helpfully rebooked us onto the 9am flight from gatwick on Sunday....

 

there are exactly the same holidays available on the TC website with flights for the Monday, when we spoke with the Thomas Cook rep in the Bluewater store today we pointed out that there were these other flights/holidays we were told that WE would have to pay an extra £300 as these holidays were listed by other companies.

 

Is this right ?

What are my options?
