Coronavirus cancellation information
If your trip was cancelled by an airline due to Coronavirus, please see
the following information regarding cancellation, refund policies and processing times
Flight only refunds
As a booking agent for the airlines, your money is sent to the airline after you book. When you request a refund we then need to await the return of monies from the airline before the funds can be returned to you.
- As your airline ticketing agent, we passed the monies you paid us to the airline as soon as your flight was ticketed.
- Refunds due on any flight only bookings are dependent on the airlines’ own refund policy.
- Please ensure you have completed this request form for us to respond to you.
- If we have received the refund from the airline we aim to refund the monies to the original form of payment shortly afterwards. Please understand that some airlines are taking many months to process refunds, but this does vary by airline. We cannot pass the refund to you until we have it from the airline.
- To view individual airline refund policies and the approximate time it is taking to process, please see 'Airline policies' below.
If you are due to travel outside the next two months, please do not contact us yet as we are prioritising customers with imminent travel dates.
