thing is
people pat themselves on the back with glee when they save £100 by buying online. which is understandable for the individual, but fucks over the travel agencies - and they employ so many people and have so many premises rented on the high street etc.

would be a massive problem for landlords and employees if TC went down.

I'm not going to feel sorry for companies with outmoded business models though.

Travel Agents tend to fuck over the hotels and apartments as well, though.
The people who's apartments we stay in on Kos were with Airtours, until they realised that they were being paid the same flat rate per night all season, but that Airtours were hiking up the cost of a package holiday to ridiculous levels depending on when the peak bookings hit (i.e. school holidays), and they weren't benefiting from it.
