Thomas Cook

Yep, i'm in a big predicament, I have flights booked through them for 4 weeks time to Florida, fortunately my lazy ass hasnt booked anything else yet so either need them to either go bust now or they get rescued with reassurance they will be operating for the next 2 months minimum :D
 
Care to elaborate?

I paid 2500 for flights to Orlando with TC, obviously I won't be flying anthem anymore. Virgin flights on the same day are coming out at over 9 grand. Virgin were always a bit more expensive but all of a sudden they have almost trippled in price.

This was for 4 seats.

If I were to pay Virgin the prices they are now asking I would be fully expecting fillet steak as in flight meal, cocktails on tap and **tame it down a little** incrementally from the air hostesses throughout the flight :D

The site has algorithm to adjust prices depending on views for individuals (your cookies), day of the week (higher on the weekend when people look more), the rate of bookings going through, number of seats left, etc.

It's just supply and demand. Not only is not coincidental, but it is also expected. For it not change, that would be strange.

I agree, and am aware of this. Just do a search on Skyscanner - 20th October to 4th November flying from Manchester. Every direct flight available now is from Virgin at 9k minimum.. was nowhere near that prior to yesterday, so that tells me that they are taking advantage of people's misfortune and ramping up the prices which makes Virgin a bunch of knob heads.

Fortunately for me I see flights from London now for £1500 but they are not direct, just waiting on credit card company for refund and I could actually save some cash out of this mess.
