Make travel companies refund the total cost of a package holiday due to COVID-19
Get companies like On The Beach to refund customers in full for holidays affected by COVID-19 rather than use their T & C’s as a get out clause.
We, like many others, booked our holiday for 2020 before COVID-19 was around. We were due to go in mid-August but the FCO advised against all but essential travel to a number of counties including Spain. On The Beach have stated that if the flight goes ahead we cannot get any money back. We booked the holiday as a package and I don’t believe it’s fair to penalise customers where they have no choice in what carrier they use
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not responsible for.
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:
