Holidaymakers holding about £30million in refund vouchers after their breaks were lost to Covid have been warned to act quickly to make sure they don't lose out.
If the vouchers are not used to book another trip by the end of next week, travellers risk losing their holiday if the operator they booked with goes bust. The warning from the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) was reported by the Daily Mail.
The regulator said the vouchers, given when trips were cancelled because of the pandemic, can be cashed in for a refund with the tour operator, or used to book another trip. But if that trip is not booked by September 30, the booking loses ATOL protection.That means that if the operator then goes bust, the travellers have no protection and will lose their holiday.
