Tearful last Thomas Cook flight as travelers scramble to get home

The last scheduled Thomas Cook flight to land shortly after company's collapse saw flight crew in tears, according to passengers on board, as travelers around the world scrambled to reschedule hotels and flights.

Flights operated by the company have been grounded, hotel bills left unpaid and package vacations thrown into disarray across Europe and the rest of the world by the travel company's demise. "We were told we might be offered alternate flights but we still haven't heard anything and as we have our little girl we wouldn't be able to come home later or anything. We want a refund at this point just so we can try and make the most of this week together before we go back to work."Courtesy Amelia Binch

But they haven't received anything, Binch added. The wedding package included not only the ceremony, but also flowers, cake and entertainment, she added. "But this is a partner hotel for Thomas Cook, so they've probably been informed they'll be paid by ATOL."

This is why people should really check out the companies they take flights from before going

Kind of an abrupt action on the part of Thomas Cook. Can you guys at go out and hire an investigative journalist to look underneath the hood and see the real reason for this happening (aside from the official story)

British travel firm Thomas Cook collapses, strands 150,000 vacationersThomas Cook, the world's oldest travel firm, has collapsed, stranding hundreds of thousands of holidaymakers and sparking the largest peacetime repatriation effort in British history. UK Govt should use those idle, grounded Thomas Cook planes to repatriate stranded travelers instead of hiring Easy Jet to do the job and save Govt loads of money in the process. C'mon UK Govt, do something right for once! Thomas Cook break down remembers me the break down of Pan Am Airlines. The shareholders should look at the earnings of the TC executive staff, all the COs, there they will find the problem. It’s another Dunkirk!
