After conducting their own investigations, both parties Love holiday with Teletext Has been ordered to return millions of pounds to hundreds of thousands of customers.

If the government simply moves it to the amber list, you are not entitled to a refund.

If you need to cancel your trip because you cannot self-quarantine when you are at home, you should lose all or part of your travel expenses.

This is because you decided not to go on vacation, not because of circumstances beyond your control to cancel the trip.

Martyn James, a consumer expert at the complaint site Resolver, said: “Remember, there is a big difference between canceling a holiday and simply not being able to go.”

“But, in fact, since you cannot travel, the company should allow you to change the travel date, get a voucher or even a full refund.”

Will my travel insurance cover me?

Which consumer group? Warning Not all travel insurance policies provide full coverage for holidays that cannot be continued due to Covid.

For example, if you are infected with the coronavirus, they may provide you with insurance, but if you are told by NHS Test and Trace to isolate you when you are about to leave, they may not provide you with insurance.

Mr. James said: “As a (very) universal rule, insurance covers you for unexpected events or things beyond your control, rather than changing your mind.”

“So if you want to take a vacation because it looks like your country is on the red list, you may not be able to apply for any fees.”

This is why it is important to check the small print before purchasing an insurance policy.

Vacationers should also be aware that if you decide to continue buying travel insurance for green list travel, travel insurance may no longer be valid, even though it has been moved to the amber or red list.

In particular, this will affect countries that FCDO recommends not to travel to.

Traveling to these countries in violation of FCDO’s recommendations will mean that if you have an accident, become ill or lose your luggage abroad, you will not be covered.

However, if the government has moved it to the amber list but has not implemented the FCDO travel ban, some travel insurance policies may still cover you.

You should check your insurance policy and talk to your provider to understand your insurance company’s position on this.

Mr. James said that it is important to find holiday providers with flexible Covid cancellation policies to book your trip.
