Holiday advice

Another positive experience for jet 2 here no issues with a full refund. Certainly will use them for the next holiday when finances are sorted.
 
Royal Caribbean had 10k of my money.
They've given us a third in cash and the rest in cruise credits.
Wanted full cash.

I've just read an article saying that they're on the verge of bankruptcy.
So I lose my credits ?
Twats.
 
I really can't see any holidays abroad taking place until at least October.

Should be going to Bali in June but flight has already been cancelled (obviously). Booked Emirates flights but through an agent (on skyscanner), Emirates won't speak to us until we've gone beyond the 22nd June, and can only speak to the agent.

I thought about rebooking flights with the agent for late September but my fear is that passengers will be screened on entry and there's the risk of being turned away. I think places may be a little tense with precautions in place, will probably suck any enjoyment out of holidays. Also not sure what cover there is on rebooked flights. Agent is coming across as a cowboy outfit, wanted a chunk of money for the refund on flights.

Think I'm going to wait past 22nd June and obtain an open 24 month flexi return ticket from Emirates. Happy to go in 2021 and actually enjoy the trip when things have calmed down.
 
We booked a VW camper van and plan to take a couple of weeks camping in Switzerland. We're always putting off camping trips to go abroad so only logical to spend some time enjoying our countryside

Too late now, obviously. And sounds like you've already realised this, but never book through those agents on SkyScanner. You'll have plenty of people tell you that they had no problems, but the cowboy outfits on SkyScanner are almost universally a nightmare to deal with when you need to.

Use SkyScanner to search for flight options, but always then go direct with the airline that you choose. You may pay a small amount more, but that comes with far greater peace of mind should circumstances change.

Cheers pal, completely agree. I've learnt my lesson and will be booking directly with the airline in future. I used an agent on skyscanner before for a trip to Japan which was fine but as you say, should circumstances change, you need that flexibility and is worth it for a few extra quid.

Yes, you’ll lose the lot if they go under.
 
Banks remove credit card sec 75 protection for flights not booked directly with an airline or part of a package holiday.
 
Ive 2 weeks booked of mid July that I cant really move and we were hoping to go to Croatia/Greece.Hoping there will at least be places open in UK/Ireland by then but if pubs and restaurants are shut not sure there is much point.

They have to give you cash refund by law, but this is the reason I wouldn’t take voucher, did you pay by credit card? Do a charge back.
