I lost £1,300 after making easy flight booking mistake – simple check you must do to avoid it happening to you

RETIREE Alan Straughan battled with TUI for weeks to get a simple error with his flight changed.

Alan couldn’t wait for his summer holiday to Tenerife in the Canary Islands with his wife in June.

But when he came to book the £1,340 flights, a tiny error left him running round in circles for weeks with TUI.

Alan had intended to book return flights from Newcastle Airport to Tenerife, leaving on June 11 and returning on June 22 at midday.
