Being offered no alternative other than paying my full holiday balance for something thats highly unlikely to happen or losing my full deposit.....:emoji_thinking:
We were due to go to Tanzania (holiday of a lifetime kinda thing) in July for my wife's 55th, and the final instalment was due sometime around now.
The tour company (Intrepid Travel, by the way - really good for off the beaten track stuff) cancelled that departure date about three weeks ago. Asked us what we want to do with the money - so we have rebooked for the same time next year, and they have given us 10% extra credit on our existing balance. So the final payment is now £200 less, and is due three weeks before we go, in June next year! All updated on our account page on their website. Amazing and efficient.
Were due to fly there with Qatar. They have yet to cancel the flight, meaning that we can only get a credit note (albeit valid for two years, and to 110% of the original value) unless we want to pay some hefty cancellation fees. But they aren't flying to any airports in Africa currently, so it's just a waiting game. If all else fails, we can move it to next year without incurring a charge.
