I have started to research about ways to offset carbon from my travels. It’s fair to say it’s a bit complicated. There are many articles about it on the web. I started with this one from the Beeb which is an interesting read. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-48657582

Ooh, an interesting article about Ryanair’s baggage policy. I am no fan of the company and try to avoid flying with them if I can. This ruling may encourage them to be more fair. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-50497629

Still no refund for our Thomas Cook holiday, so I rang the CAA and put in a claim over the phone. They were actually very helpful. I was told that Thomas Cook had not given all the information to the CAA about holiday bookings and that is why many people have not received a refund. I also completed an on line form, just in case. The CAA helpline is – 0300 303 2800.

Thomas Cook is no more, a sad day. We had already booked our trip to The Peloponnese for 2020 with them and were paying by installments. We rebooked with Olympic online instead which was painless, but a little more expensive. We opted to travel on a saturday as the flights are with Easyjet. Flying on the sunday were Thomas Cook flights and we avoided that option for obvious reasons.
As we were paying by Direct Debit we should not need to make a claim. We should get a refund within 14 days. We will see. If you need more adviceregarding Thomas Cook refunds, Money Saving Expert has everything you need to know.
