A man is warning others to be careful when booking flights having found out that they can no longer embark on the trip of a lifetime.
Donal and his wife Dominika were heading to Japan for their tenth wedding anniversary in September. However, as the trip became closer they received a message from a Japanese train company wondering what they wanted to do with their tickets.
This was the first time that Donal realised that their trip would no longer be possible, due to a change in Covid-19 regulations. Independent tourists are currently not allowed into the country, with the rules expected to stay the same until Autumn.
