Cancelling flights

[oblio]

Folks

Has anyone had to cancel flights and other bookings for holidays before?

I am led to believe by my travel insurers that the airline will refund the air taxes on my flights booking. Is this correct in anyone's experience?

You should always have tax and AFS refunded but that's it. If your canx is within your travel insurance t's and c's, you can claim the rest back from them.

It's amazing how many times the airlines fee for processing the refund = the amount of tax due to be refunded....

I hope this isn't bad news about your upcoming trip?

Im afraid it is

My wife has MS which has come on really badly this week: she has lost the use of a leg and part use of an arm so cannot walk. It being MS means that she is totally bolluxed all the time as well plus can't do anything like dress herself, bathe etc

No Turkey for us...I feel crap as well letting our lad down as it was a post GCSE trip for him as well

Maybe next year
