I had booked with XL to go to Tobago in November - I found out from relatives in Tobago that XL were cancelling flights in November. I called XL who confirmed . They say refunds will take up to 10 working days - Will I see my money - £1700.00?

I've booked a holiday in Florida through Travelcity direct for December and am due to make the final payment in 2 weeks time so I hope we know what is happening by then.

I am going on holiday on 08/09/08 with freedom flights, will i still be able to go on holiday or does it look like its going to be cancelled?

Sarah, wakefield,

It's the usual story with the Banks - fair weather friends when all is hunky dory and close ranks when the going gets tough.
However, I think that X-L will be able to survive this blip.
And I agree with Mr Blake, the less players in the travel industry will mean more expensive flights and holidays

As a retired bank manager it is ridiculous that banks are all too willing to pull the plug. Surely if the company's position does not deteriorate even if it technically breaches some of its covenants banks should support the company. The alternative is a fire sale in which the bank could lose more.

ian , Maidstone,

Ah well. It's back down to earth for those who thought they could just nip over to Barbados for yet another jaunt.

It has been known for now a little while, that XL Airways had difficulties.
Last week on august 26th, they announced several service cancellations for winter 2008 with no plan to re-introduce those flights.
Cancelled flight are St Kitts, Antigua, Grenada, Barbados, St Lucia, Trinidad and Tobago!!!
