Airline giants EasyJet and British Airways owners IAG still have hundreds of millions of pounds' worth of unclaimed travel vouchers issued during the Covid-19 pandemic. Figures suggest EasyJet had £110m in unclaimed vouchers.
IAG, which also owns the likes of Iberia and Air Lingus, said it had about €600m (£533m) in vouchers. There are fears that thousands of passengers could miss out on flights they have already paid for.
Both companies have extended the expiry date of their vouchers a number of times. EasyJet said no vouchers had expired yet, while British Airways' run out in September 2023 - although the airline said it was constantly reviewing the deadline.
