Allow people to cancel holidays abroad this year. Refund/rebook within 12 months
Ask Airlines & travel companies to allow for refund or re-book with no charges within a 12 month period.
There are many people who booked their holidays abroad for 2020 before knowing the situation we would ever be in due to Covid-19. There are many people now with health concerns & concerns of further spreads of Covid-19 & do not feel continuing with their holiday this year is the safe thing to do. We are asking that anyone who has a holiday booked this year & does not feel safe to go be either given a refund or a transfer to a date within 12 months charge free.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Arrangements for refunding, changing or rebooking travel are a civil matter between individual travellers and holiday operators, not the Government or Parliament.
We have published the following petitions, which you might like to sign:
