Thomson the ugly duckling over online consumer protection notice

Thomson Holidays has admitted responsibility for what it says is a website error which saw its Build-Your-Own package holidays sold against incorrect insurance protection notices.
Online Terms and Conditions for the TUI-owned brand’s BYO holidays indicated that products were not covered by Thomson’s ATOL bond when in fact, the company says now, they were.
The error comes against an unfortunate backdrop of the ongoing war-of-words against online travel agency TravelRepublic, which won a court case against the UK’s Civil Aviation Authority in November 2009 over its own decision not to ATOL-protect customers who build their own holidays.

News this morning that UK-based online travel agency TravelRepublic did not fall foul of guidelines over the selling of package holidays has the potential to unlock a raft of innovation in the online travel space and finally break the status quo.
The case was brought about the Civil Aviation Authority after it argued TravelRepublic should have purchased an ATOL bond – a system for financial protection in the event of a travel company going bust – when customers bought flight+hotel package products on the site.
TravelRepublic, a relatively new player on the UK travel scene which has leapfrogged into a strong position in recent years ahead of the likes of Ebookers and Opodo in terms of web traffic, stuck its heels in and told the CAA it would meet them in court.
