Nothing in digs other than your pointless cr@p attempt to dig at my response. Your comments on Tui if picked up could end you up in court, think about it DH and get real...

Grow up and quit trolling.

Thanks for the useful input and for sending the thread completely off topic.

I certainly think you are right things are off topic, but a lot has to do with your obsession over Tui and/or Jimbo. The only troll here seems to be your obsessions?

Very little notice. Some people are only finding out 2-3 days before and only then finding out because they are checking, not being contacted by TUI to tell them.

There’s a few instances of people only finding out when going to the airport to board their flight, which is obviously unforgivable.

Cheers D@G. We've been looking forward to our Sept holiday since we booked it back in April in the expectation that we would be nearly back to normal and even though TUI will reimburse us within 2 weeks its still leaves a nasty taste in the mouth if its at that short notice.

When going to San Stef we always go independant but are loathe to do so when going somewhere new but if TUI are going to treat people like this we'll have to reconsider.

We been travelling with TUI or Jet2 to Corfu for 12 years. Both have been excellent. I don't really buy the "DIY and the local economy" argument; don't the owners who have contracted to TUI or Jet2 have any income?

We always go to Fedra and they don't have any other source of income.

Independent isn’t convenient for everyone and that’s fine of course.

Looking at it purely financially, we are over in a couple of weeks for 20 nights and are paying €70/night for a family room direct to the owners. If I were to book with TUI, which I could, the owners would see €12/night of that money. Bit of a difference in their pockets.

That's a stark difference.

This is certainly what we have been told by owners there, although it seemed to be hush, hush. Not checked it out for years now, but it was also a lot cheaper to book ourselves. Now it's more the convenience of travelling when and how we want.

Of course the apartment owners get a lot less with the travel companies, but they do have the advantage of huge website and shop presence, and not having to handle all the complexities of taking bookings and payments themselves. Lesley's excellent CorfuSelections.com has massively helped independent owners to obtain bookings.

There is still some possibility of compensation for a cancelled or severely altered flight, although not quite as generous as what was available when the UK was in the EU.

How does that benefit the apartment owners?
