We've free cancellation on our hotel for aug until the day before we fly so we should be ok, just need the Spaniards to drop quarantine

I got a refund 13 days after, they said 2 weeks so spot on for me.
Mine was a package holiday I know someone waited 6 weeks for a flight refund.

You have to book within 12 months, but your flight can be later

They won't do anything for October yet, they are only dealing with people up until end of August.

Ah shite. I’ve said it a few times on here but they’re going to draw the line somewhere and some people are going to end up shafted. Either with a flight they don’t want or to a destination where there’s nothing happening.
My brother flew to Krakow the weekend of the Polish lockdown. Jet2 had fulfilled their obligation but there was literally nothing open for them. A waste.

Yeah that's a real possibility, in that case I reckon we'd just hire a villa for two weeks and just chill. Hopefully there will still be flexibility from the airlines but as you say they're will be a cut off.
Absolute worst case is I'm £2k down for 4 flights, it wouldn't ruin me so as long as we're still healthy that's the most important thing.
It's paid on credit cards, got long standing travel insurance but God knows if they would help at that point.
We shall see

I think it depends on your insurance. Some insurance covers you if the FCO advise against travel however if the airline offers a voucher then the travel insurance won't pay out. In terms of credit cards then if the flight is going ahead then you can't claim as the airline have fulfilled their obligation.

Chargeback with bank is the best option if flight has been cancelled, Halifax seem to be doing them no bother.

Just had an email from Loveholidays confirming I will be getting a refund and I am now in the queue.
Once this money goes back onto my credit card, are the credit card company obliged to deduct any interest that was charged on this transaction? It happened with the flights just not sure if it is required.

Just got my £177 back from cottages.com. They are completely useless the cottage owner phoned me & told me they had cancelled all her bookings as she told them she was gonna stop using them next year.
I spent 85 mins waiting on phone 4 them then they said she had cancelled.
On a plus point my holiday would of been £707 but owners just give me same week at £560.

My sons and his mates meant to be going to Benidorm tonight. Flights refunded/rebooked a while back but accommodation/booking.com still not budging on refund - hotel offered a voucher for 12 months but the lads won’t be able to use it. Have started the chargeback process with the Credit Card we used to book it for them - assuming for now that we won’t get anything back but worth a go

Got my refund the day after my update above, feared a long wait but in the end they were very efficient. I have £2700 on my credit card now, does anyone know if there's a free way to get it back in my bank account?

I had the same with the flights I’d booked for lads. Had paid on credit card and refunded to credit card so I had to find the cash. I’m not worse off obviously but just a pain.
You can use PayPal but not sure about an amount of that size.

Just ring them and ask for it transferred to your bank account
If you’re in debt on the credit card you’ll not get one if it’s in credit then they should auto refund when you have a payment date

It will only take a phone call to the credit card company who will refund it to your bank account.

I`m booked with Love Holidays to go on the 23rd July. I guess it might happen, it might not but i`ve got a £1200 payment to make on the 9th july which i`d rather not make if i wasnt going anyway
Looked at re-arranging my flights (Ryan Air) as when i was rooting about on the love holidays site it said that you had to change flights direct with the airline and then go back on there to sort accommodation. Found that if i was to go at a similar time next year the flights are around £100 cheaper. Result ! I thought get in....however all the bloody fees for changing mean I`d have to tip up 500 odd quid extra
when were you due to go away mate ?
