Easy money that. Charge double to bring people back through no?Not sure if previously mentioned but just having a look at Eurotunnel site ( we normally go to France in August though not booked yet)
They seem to be saying no refunds for normal tickets ( flexi plus are refundable) as they are running a full service..
HOWEVER when you get to France end you wonât be allowed in unless an essential worker or youâre French and returning home
How the fuck does that work ? Nee point in operating passenger service if passengers not being allowed off at the other end
I wouldnât fall for that line. Youâre then relying on a hell of a lot of factors. Only guaranteed way is to get the cash back in your bank.I heard a bloke on the radio this morning saying that it might be worth accepting vouchers as the price of a holiday might sky rocket next year or whenever the travel industry gets back on track. The voucher could offset the price increase (or at least some of it). Worth bearing in mind - although I agree that a refund could be preferable in the current climate - Iâm in a similar boat - got a holiday in July thatâs due to be paid off mid may that I know wonât happen so I stand to lose a deposit if I cancel myself before the deadline, although itâs a lot less to lose then a lot of others whoâve paid in full already.
Iâd go to the airport packed and ready.Meant to be flying today, still nothing from Jet2. If they don't contact you and you can't get through to the call centre, wtf are you meant to do?
I know it's f***ing disastrous for them but I'm sure it could have been handled better by the travel companies.Iâd go to the airport packed and ready.
100%. I said earlier that years of trying to avoid treating customers fairly as they know they have you over a barrel is coming back to bite them on the arse. That and the fact none of them have come out and stated their financial position and ability to weather this is also concerning.I know it's f***ing disastrous for them but I'm sure it could have been handled better by the travel companies.
They're just making it as hard as possible to get a refund. With Jet2 you can accept vouchers or amend a booking online, but you can't click a button to get a refund? Nowt stopping them from doing that, other than making it the difficult option.I know it's f***ing disastrous for them but I'm sure it could have been handled better by the travel companies.
I think that's exactly it. They are hoping people get anxious and just accept the vouchers.They're just making it as hard as possible to get a refund.

The time and effort they're taking to ring customers to offer a refund there must be a large percentage get bored of waiting and take one of the other options.
No TUI flights till June 11th, 16 of us fly to Mexico on the 12th for a wedding
Yeah Hays Travel rang me on Saturday, itâs all paid for, I can change the holiday but have to pay the difference if itâs dearer, or get money back if itâs cheaperHave it tried to contact them about it mate? We've got a fortnight in ibiza booked in late July and the balance of two grand needs to be paid off by next week. Tried ringing them yesterday and they basically just cut you off if you ask to speak to anyone...
It wasnât him mate (however he is actually giving loads of obvious answers on LBC as I type this ). Was just a caller. I only personally stand to lose ÂŁ180 which is still a fair wedge but not compared to most so Iâm not going to make issue if it gets problematic .I wouldnât fall for that line. Youâre then relying on a hell of a lot of factors. Only guaranteed way is to get the cash back in your bank.
Was it that Simon Calder, Mr state the obvious.
Haven't read through the thread yet so sorry if this has been covered, but does anyone know what would happen in this situation.
I've booked (Cyprus) for 11 nights in first week of August, say travel ban is lifted and FO say its ok and holiday could go ahead, but Cyprus say anyone entering have to Quarantine for 14 days. Just wondering if travel company would try and back out of a refund.
I mean about I can't quarantine for 14 days if I'm only going for 11.Flight will be operating , hotel will be open , holiday company can hardly be held responsible for quarantine issues surely ?
Quarantine in the hotel like they did in Tenerife, ie round the pool , jobs a good un.
Terms and conditions do not over ride the law.Spoken to Hoseasons about a uk cottage holiday booked for 3 weeks time. They are adamant that its in their T&C's that they do not offer a refund.
At first we were happy to swap the break to the same proprty for the same week on 2021, using their price promise - pay no extra. But after being on hold for some time, speaking to the cottage owner, she comes back and says the one we booked is not not going with hoseasons next year, and is not available.
They want us to choose a similar property and transfer to that. Or alternatively, they have included holiday insurance for us, which we didn't pay for. If we cancel through the insurance we'd lose approx 6.5% of what we paid.

If you go to the .Gov site on tinterweb the advice i checked the other day (i get weekly updates) is the ban for travel is indefinite world wide.. I'll try to dig the link upHaven't read through the thread yet so sorry if this has been covered, but does anyone know what would happen in this situation.
