FLIGHT INFORMATION
The airline industry is now heavily regulated and somewhat more accommodating than it was a few years ago, meaning that they are more willing to offer refunds, cancellations, changes & vouchers to passengers, knowing they may be heavily penalised if they do not do so, especially under the current C19 situation.
BA are currently reviewing policy on refunds and issuing of vouchers for bookings up until July 31st 2020. The airline is offering either a refund of the flights if passengers cannot take their flights due to C19 related issues, or will offer a voucher to the value of the flight booking for use on a later date.
At present, as our guest's flights are likely to be in early September, we will all have to wait to see what the airline decides to do moving forward and if they offer vouchers, then it will simply be a case of re-booking for th new dates in late September or October.
I will try to keep updated on when these options might become available and I will post updates here as and when i have that information available to pass on.As with all airline changes, any difference in cost from the original flights to the new ones, will either be payable by the passenger if it is higher or refunded by the airline if it is lower.
Currently, EasyJet are offering flight-changes with no admin charges if it is done online. They are offering a voucher system whereby a voucher for the cost of the flight is issued and is valid for 12 months, which is a little difficult as this would have to be arranged prior to the existing flight and then a rescheduled re-union would be more than 12 months ahead, however discussing this with EasyJet Customer Service via the telephone will probably be the best option to make suitable arrangements.
As with all airline changes, any difference in cost from the original flights to the new ones, will either be payable by teh passenegr if it is higher or refunded by the airline if it is lower.
TUI will begin operating again from June 20th.
As is the case with most airlines, TUI are currently only able to offer refunds, cancellations or changes for bookings made for flights up until the 31st August, however, this is a rolling date and as time goes on these dates will become available for September.
As with all airline changes, any difference in cost from the original flights to the new ones, will either be payable by the passenger if it is higher or refunded by the airline if it is lower.
