This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.

You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.

You may wish to sign these petitions instead:

Require travel companies & airlines to pay compensation if no refund in 14 days: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/317878

Create a fund to reimburse money lost due to covid-19 travel cancellations: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/304912

Arrangements for refunding, changing or rebooking travel are a civil matter between individual travellers and airlines or holiday operators, not the Government or Parliament.

The Civil Aviation Authority, which regulates the UK aviation industry, has provided guidance on passenger rights and how to make a claim: www.caa.co.uk/Passengers/Resolving-Travel-Problems/Delays-and-cancellations/
