TravelLab has joined a new accredited consortia, Mid Counties Co-op Ltd.
This includes ATOL protection and two new ABTA numbers. Our previous Consortia the Freedom Travel Group is gone.
Onwards and upwards as they say.
P7503 is the ABTA for our Frodsham branch which also fullfils most of our online business.
P7504 is the ABTA for our Macclesfield branch
Our clients have always been at the heart of everything we do. The last week dealing with the Thomas Cook fallout has been the most challenging week of my life.
This Thomas Cook failure had implications far and wide and continues to do so. We are continuing to resolve a number of issues to do with the failure of Thomas Cook.
BOOKINGS MADE AFTER 23 September 2019: Any new bookings proceed under the new ABTAs
BOOKING MADE BEFORE 23 September 2019: All have been booked with ATOL and/or ABTA protection.
The majority of bookings made under the old ABTA numbers fall under the categories below:
1. Thomas Cook Package Holidays bookings will not travel as they ceased trading. These will be an ATOL claims through the CAA starting 7 October (was meant to be 30 September)

2. Other Package holidays with Thomas Cook Airlines within the booking are being re-protected onto new flights where possible. If there are no flights these may need to be cancelled and the tour operator will refund you.

3. Bookings we made through our old consortiaโ€™s ATOL 6042 are being handled in a number of ways. These are bookings we packaged with various operators and placed them within one booking under the Freedom Travel Groupโ€™s ATOL facility. We only have in the region of 20 bookings under this ATOL. We are keeping in touch with all of these clients.

4. Cruise bookings โ€“ some cruise operators will automatically take over the booking and deal with you directly. We will offer assistance to any of these clients. Some clients are receiving information that โ€˜the companyโ€™ has failed, that was the Freedom Travel Group consortia and not TravelLab. Call us if you need any information on this.
5. Stand alone bookings made through Kuoni, Gold Medal, Inghams and other tour operators. Those are operating as normal unless Thomas Cook flights are part of the itinerary
Note
The directives and information coming to us is changing from one moment to the next but the general policies are in place so we can take you through this.

A message from Jaiโ€ฆ
Thanks client for your amazing support and words. We will need your support and we are better, stronger and will look after you always.
Thanks team for your support. We cried, we laughed, we preserved through the most challenging time in our careers and lives. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart.
Thanks to selected tour operators that helped through the issues, you have issues to deal with yourselves and you made time for us.
Thanks friends, family, former team members, people in the industry and competitors that sent personal messages of praise and care.
Disappointed with a few in the industry for your horrendous behaviour, and selected media outlets - you are terrible for confusing consumers.
Saddened for 9000 in the industry without jobs but out there getting new ones. And sorry to the few of you dropping into my branches - I could not offer jobs to at this time, given this craziness some time and one day you might be in one of our new shops.

Finally for Clarity

๐Ÿšจ BEWARE SCAM ALERT ๐Ÿšจ

People are receiving phone calls and emails stating they can get an immediate refund on their Thomas Cook holidays by providing bank/card information.

This is NOT the case! The only way you can get your money back is via the CAA and ATOL. Please donโ€™t be fooled! The correct details are below for your information

As a result, we are sorry to inform you that all holidays and flights provided by these companies have been cancelled and are no longer operating. All Thomas Cook's retail shops have also closed.

An Emotional Update from Jai at TravelLab

Please let me preface this statement with this. I am saddened and lost that 25000+ Thomas Cook Group employees lost their jobs today in the UK and overseas.

More companies will surely feel this pain too in the coming days and weeks. I wish our industry friends and colleagues every success and we are here with you in spirit.


This is very long, please bear with me as you read through this novel!

The Freedom Travel Group consortia was also placed under administration this morning.

My companies, TravelLab (P7290 and L8925) are being fast-tracked with the support of the CAA and ABTA over to a new consortia and we will be trading in a couple days time. We are a victim of being with the wrong consortia which when I joined was part of the Co-op, long story!



ALL OF OUR CLIENTS MONEY IS SAFE in some shape or form.

Your bookings in many cases will be honoured by the various tour operators they are booked through.

Thomas Cook bookings will be cancelled and many Freedom Travel Group ATOL 6042 bookings will be cancelled even if suppliers are paid.

Currently all P7290 and L8925 bookings/data are in the control of the administrator and we are getting very little communication. Almost zero!

Clients with canceled bookings will be able to make claims to recover money with the CAA or ABTA depending on the elements of the booking.

I am so very sorry if your dream holiday is cancelled but please be patient with us. We will do what we can and we will be open and honest with you.

To Ma and Pa back in Canada and my partner Chris...
Thank you for being proud of me. I will make you proud again.

To my team...
Thank you, I am nothing without you. I care deeply for each and every one of you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Often you have made sacrifices and I cannot put into words my gratitude. We start again. Stronger together.



To All Our Clients...
Without you we are nothing.
I have worked very hard for 10 years establishing my businesses with the support of many, along with a fabulous team. I have ran a solid business growing safely and organically and yes with hiccups along the way. I send huge thanks for your support over the years. Some went to book elsewhere, many came back. Some conceived on their honeymoons and now we are booking the family, and others even had a bad holiday. It happens and its rare, but we took personal pain when it did.

All along the way we strived to achieve excellence. We love what we do. We are passionate. We love your stories. We travel.

Thank you ALL clients from the bottom of my heart.

I humbly ask that you support my team and shop local with small businesses like mine. We care very much and quite frankly we need you.

I, and my team, remain at your service,

Jai at TravelLab



Should you need assistance...

Balances will go directly to the tour operators for the time being

Thomascook.com will redirect you to the CAA

ABTA - https://www.abta.com/news/thomas-cook-group

CAA - https://www.caa.co.uk/home/

Me or my team, you can call either โ€ช01928 735 171โ€ฌ for Frodsham/Online clients or โ€ช01625 402 791โ€ฌ for Macclesfield clients

KPMG are the administrators and have yet to inform us of anything nor advise us.

The Freedom Support Team have been made redundant, we are missing you immensely.



What are we doing?
Quite frankly, we are crying a lot at the devastation this has caused and the kind words of all the people we have spoken to. We love what we do, though not today.


We are contacting clients......with Thomas Cook bookings abroad to follow the guidance of what reps there are in resort....with other Freedom Travel Group ATOL bookings currently on holiday that may have issues and instructing them....with future Freedom Travel Group ATOL 6042 bookings they there may be a claim to be made...with Thomas Cook Group bookings to advise they must make claims after the 30 September
and advising balance payments must now go directly to the tour operators (we pass on details)


We are... ...fast tracking with the CAA and ABTA to join a new consortia for my two branches and online business...taking enquiries from our local Thomas Cook store clients to answer their questions.

An open letter to our valued clients past, present and future,

I am personally lost for words but here goes...

Today 25000 people lost their jobs at Thomas Cook. I am shocked and saddened.

We are an agent and have many clients affected by this failure. We will be assisting clients in date order and claims will need to be done through the CAA.

I have no doubt other operators will be exposed to Thomas Cook airline seat purchases. We have many such bookings through various operators and those will also need to be sorted.

If clients need any further information please let us know by calling the numbers on your documentation.

I ask that you be patient and polite with my team. We have just lost 25000 colleagues and we are fragile.

I, and my team, remain at your service,

Jai Porter

7 Night All Inclusive Maldives from ยฃ1499pp
4* Maldives
Cinnamon Dhonveli,

Offering an affordable escape to the Maldives, Cinnamon Dhonveli showcases the diversity of the Indian Ocean, with a dramatic surf break with crashing waves to one side of the island and a calm lagoon for snorkelling on the other.
There's a casual, laid-back vibe here. For dining, youโ€™ll be allocated one of the three restaurants โ€“ Koimala in the gardens, Maakana with a view of the surf break, or Rehendhi at the edge of the lagoon. All are buffet-style, with a wide choice of international dishes and live cooking stations. Raalhu Barโ€™s outdoor deck overlooks a renowned surf point, and dolphins and even pilot whales can occasionally be spotted, while the Raiyvilaa Bar is the perfect spot for sundowners.
