THE CONTACTLESS TRAVEL AGENT My holiday was due to start on 16/03/20. Tried for a few days before to speak to them about cancelling the holiday but their lines were all down. So finally flew off to Kenya on the 16th to connect with flight to Mombasa in Istanbul. In Istanbul I was not allowed to board the next flight and was flown home the next day by Turkish Airlines. Tried to contact Travel Republic again without success. However I received an email from them telling me since I had a hotel only booking if I wanted repatriation to contact my airline. I had a package holiday with Travel Republic which they seem to have conveniently forgotten. Sent them a recorded letter which has never been answered. What they have been able to do - collect the hotel charges totalling £1475 from my MBNA card who warned me if I took steps to block payment they would put a black name against my name. So our £2502 holiday ended in Istanbul. That was the last I heard from Travel Republic. Will never use them again. TRAVELLERS BEWARE!!!!!
