Did you see the TV show, ‘When Holidays Go Wrong’ with Ash Bhardwaj? The programme featured real life travel disasters, and experts offered advice for the audience. It was produced by Crackit Productions and aired in March ’22. The show features travel disasters ranging from Thomas Cook going bust to an all-inclusive holiday going horribly wrong. Watch the show to learn how to avoid similar situations.
If all-inclusive holidays go wrong
If all-inclusive holidays go wrong, you’re not alone. This Channel 5 documentary explores the nightmares of families who have gone on an all-inclusive break. In one episode, Sasa Hwang and her partner Christopher spent PS2,000 on an all-inclusive holiday in Corfu. When they arrived at their four-star resort, they were confronted by a giant construction site next to the hotel.
The West family are first-timers on an all-inclusive break. Unlike their supermarket colleagues who’ve been taking all-inclusive holidays for years, they don’t have the experience of holidaying without a plan. They have no idea how to deal with a busy hotel and a group of holidaymakers. However, they’re willing to give it a go – and it’s not hard to understand why the hotel is so popular.
If luxury holidays go horribly wrong
If luxury holidays go horribly wrong on Channel 5, you’re not alone. The TV network has created an entire series dedicated to holiday catastrophes, and has been broadcasting it in the UK since 2002. This documentary follows unlucky holidaymakers from around the world as they try to find out what went wrong during their luxury holidays. It covers a variety of issues, from plumbing problems to people throwing up on board to hurricanes.
As part of a new series, Ash Bhardwaj appeared on When Luxury Holidays Go Horribly Wrong, a Channel 5 special featuring real travel disasters. The show features experts offering advice on how to avoid the same mistakes on holiday, and featured a range of real-life travel disasters. It was created by Crackit Productions for Channel 5 and aired in March of this year.
The documentary follows real-life people who were ripped off by luxury travel. One such person is chartered accountant Bill, who paid PS11,000 for a cruise to the Bahamas. The pair were shocked when the ship began to list, and water started to leak into their cabin. The resulting nightmare is so horrific that they have cancelled the holiday altogether. If you’re a fan of the television show, you’ll be interested to see what happens to them.
If Thomas Cook goes bust
There are countless people who have booked with Thomas Cook holidays, but they may be wondering what will happen to their bookings if the company goes under. The website was shut down shortly after two am on Wednesday morning, and the company’s executives pleaded with lenders to reduce the loan demand. The company had hoped to get a rescue deal before it went bust, and its customers would be refunded.
In a statement, the company said it was looking for PS200 million to survive. The company is currently in talks with existing shareholders, including Fosun, a Chinese company, but there are fears that this will dilute the remaining stakes. The firm has long faced financial problems, but the latest restructuring seems too late to save the company. While it is still possible to save the company, there is a very high risk of its failure. With over 180,000 holidaymakers stranded abroad, a takeover could cost the taxpayers PS600 million to cover the costs.
If you’ve paid for a holiday through Thomas Cook, you should cancel your direct debits on Tuesday to avoid any unexpected bills. If you paid with a credit card, you should be able to claim any money you’ve paid towards your holiday through the Atol scheme. If you paid with a debit or credit card, you should apply to your credit card issuer for a full refund. If you paid with a credit card, your gift cards may be worthless.
