Another one bites the dust!
Just got back from STN today and received the news that my travel agent
supplying my forthcoming USA flight has gone into liquidation. Phileas Fogg Travel London went down the tubes on Friday ... Hectic days ahead for me. :-( |

I'm sure you'll be fine Joe.
Surely the flights will be booked under your name with the airline. Is there no way to get the tickets to yourself direct. I'm assuming you booked with a Credit Card and therefore have some protection with them? A similar thing happened to my folks when Duo went down the pan but they got the cash back eventually. Hope you manage to get to the States though whatever happens. |

Hectic days ahead for me. :-( A pity. I have used them for transatlantic tickets and found them to be quite good. Not always the cheapest, a bit agressive regarding insurance, but overall I rated them highly. Surely your flight, provided you have already booked, will be secure. You should have either a paper ticket or an e-ticket, which is then independent of Phileas Fogg. Failing which, I have had no problems with e-bookers, despite what is sometimes written about them, nor US Airtours |

Phileas Fogg Travel Are you talking about the one owned by Top Hat Travel, or is there another one. I asked because the one owned by Top Hat Travel still has a current web site, and I noted you put London into the name which the Top Hat one doesn't have. - Lansbury www.uk-air.net FAQs for the alt.travel.uk.air newsgroup |

The message
from Joe Curry contains these words: Phileas Fogg Travel London went down the tubes on Friday ... Hectic days ahead for me. :-( An update.. I manage to rebook similar flights - £160 cheaper - with www.thomascook.com I have a letter from ATOL confirming Phileas Fogg's liquidation and will get a full refund from my credit card company on presentation. KLM did not receive payment for my original flights. I still have a considerable amount of paperwork in order to receive a refund from my credit card company. FWIW..I have had no word from the liquidators.. -- www.edinburghairport.org.uk Edinburgh Scotland International Scotland's most convenient/accessible/profitable/airport The International Gateway with Scotland's busiest runway. http://www2.germanwings.com/en/images/edinburgh_en.gif http://www.jetphotos.net/showphotos.php?userid=1753 http://www.yabbers.com/phpbb/?mforum=edinburghairpor |
