One wonders how many Thomas Cook customers paid with debit cards (or other means of payment) because they were unable to qualify for a credit card......or perhaps they had secured credit cards that don't carry any insurance benefit.

I would think that anyone with good travel insurance is trying to book a flight home on a regular airline flight of their choice rather than taking the repatriation flight to which they're assigned.

BTW, what happens if someone misses their repatriation flight? Would they be rebooked onto the next one or forced to make their own way home, at their own expense?
