Coronavirus: What Should I Do If I Had A Honeymoon Planned This Summer?

‘In terms of the nature of the holiday, if you have booked a package holiday (where a tour operator organises and is responsible for linked parts of a holiday – so flights, transfer from airport and accommodation) you have enhanced consumer rights. If one part of the package cannot happen, all parts should be refunded. Also, package holidays are ATOL-protected so if the business goes down you are entitled to a refund. By contrast, those who are “independent” travellers may not be able to fly because it is cancelled but may still have to pay for the hotel – again unless travel insurance covers the loss.’
