@TUIUK hi, I paid to select my seats on my flight this Tuesday and everytime I log in to manage my booking, it says we have different seats chosen. I have tried to change them but it says ‘sorry, something went wrong’ - can you help please as I paid especially to choose them.

❗️LONG POST❗️
The response to Taylor Town worldwide has been amazing!!
We’re building on the Eurovision model which aims to engage local businesses in that city welcome, and make sure visitors have a great time and want to return.
The visitor economy is worth £5billion in our region and supports over 30,000 jobs. With covid and the staggering rise in the cost of living, we’ve seen businesses close in our city which has a huge impact on the amount of business rates we collect as a council, which is then spent on frontline services (Cleaning your street, fixing your potholes, providing care for adults and children etc). That’s why it’s important to make sure we support businesses in the city!
Perhaps something that is overlooked by many though is the fact that when we pay for commissions like Taylor Town, which will see 11 art installations in the city centre based on Taylor Swifts ‘eras’/albums, we’re actively supporting local artists and creatives to express their talents and earn a good wage and live!
For artists, this is their jobs and livlihoods, and they have suffered so much over the last 14 years with cuts nationally to culture budgets and a lack of support generally for the arts.
Out of the Culture Liverpool budget, we have spent £65k on Taylor Town. So far, our city has been featured on just about every media outlet worldwide, including the Today Show in the US. This is much needed PR the city needs to attract investment and visitors. It’s also supported in total 12 local artists.
Nice things don’t just happen in our city, behind them is an artist, a creative, a worker who is just trying to make a living doing what they love.
Support local artists, support the arts, and enjoy the amazing moments and things that happen in our city ❤️
Errr… I was featured on the USA Today show this morning with @makeCIC 😮 🤣
