Bad news Rod, seems TUI not waiting to see what he next traffic light announcement is.
I wonder how many passengers are on the flights from UK at the moment, bearing in mind the current advice and restrictions. We were due to arrive today flying with BA, we were not going owing to the requirement for isolation on return and current amber status. BA cancelled our return flight a couple of weeks ago, consolidating to one flight on the Saturday so we had a refund on that one. We waited to see if the outbound flight was cancelled, which it wasn’t so had to cancel myself and take a voucher for that flight. I can’t imagine these flights from UK are anywhere near full. My wife has got a bit fed up with me today saying; we should have been at The airport now, we’d have been in the air now, we should be on the transfer now etc. At least it’s sunny here and I poured us Chocolate tequila after dinner as a consolation! She is still sulking though.
TUI simply said "holiday cancelled" (even though it was flight only) with no alternative. Ironically I then booked flights from Manchester for Friday 11th June with TUI. It's a bit of a hassle travelling from Newcastle to Manchester but we are desperate to get away. I informed Fedra Mare and job done. Fingers crossed that there is not another cancellation.
As a footnote, I am being refunded my cancelled holiday but I am pursuing a compensation claim as the notice Tui gave me was 14 days. I think I'm entitled to £110 per person.
