The signs that TC were in trouble have been there for months. They've been cutting their choice of long haul destinations since the beginning of the year. They were the only travel company with direct flights from Gatwick to Holguin in Cuba but warned us months ago that this was ending in November. Some flights to other Caribbean destinations were also under threat.
I've been looking at their website over the last couple of months and it was fairly obvious that they were desperate for bookings. The price for an identical holiday was dropping from one day to the next. £300pp less than the same dates two years ago.
