TCX won't be selling any Holidays - If they don't get their website looked at, It's pathetic, Being trying to book a Holiday for a few weeks now.
I'm not ringing a 'premium' no to do the booking, When you should be able to book online??
Asked around & other people have had the same problem.
The site lets you look at a Holiday, Then it comes up with a 'silly' error code, Then you have to start all over again.
Can someone at TCX please explain this problem.
No other sites have this kind of booking problem.
The only reason I want to book on their site is because it is cheaper than most.
If it is to get you to call them, Then People will take their money elsewhere.

Try MyTravel as it is still fully functional and offers holidays to exactly the same destinations/flights/companies as ThomasCook just under a different trading name.
We were trying to book with Thomas Cook to Tenerife a few weeks ago on their own website and it was useless so we tried MyTravel.com and there were the same holidays as Thomas Cook just under a different website. Worked out £12 cheaper too than on the Thomas Cook website!

Perhaps this is what is referred to?:
August 28, 2008
Thomas Cook's charter airline Condor has joined "early talks" with TUI Travel's TUIfly Germany and Lufthansa's Germanwings unit over a possible three-way merger, the companies said on Thursday.
They said no commercial terms had been agreed and there was no certainty of a deal.
TUI Travel has been in talks with Lufthansa since the start of the year over a merger between its charter airline TUIfly and Germanwings.
Thomas Cook joined the talks after German carrier Air Berlin scrapped plans to buy Condor, sources familiar with the situation said in July. Thomas Cook said at that time it was "pursuing a range of other available options" for Condor.
Blue Oar Securities analyst Derren Nathan said on Thursday the airlines' announcement will "come as no surprise to the market".
"Consolidation in the German leisure carry market is inevitable and TUI Travel has said that until the situation is resolved this will be a hurdle to improving operational performance," he said.
However, Nathan added that a three way tie-up is likely to be scrutinized closely by the German authorities and any deal is likely to be a lengthy process.
