We had booked our christmas ski holiday with Neilson but they've just told us they are cancelling their Swiss and North American ski programmes for the 2014/2015 seasons as they "won't make any money"... After initially saying they'd transfer our holiday to another operator at no cost it transpires that they can't and will only refund our deposit or charge us £800 for the flights and leave us to try and book land arrangements independently with no ABTA protection. Given it's Christmas week we can't find a similar holiday to book without incurring substantial extra expense - so have two very upset children...We'd deliberately chosen to book with a (supposedly) reputable large operator for peace of mind but have found out to our cost that doesn't mean much.
