Compensation cancelled flights

UK holidaymakers must keep EU rights after Brexit, says Abta

· April 4, 2017 ·

The British travel industry is urging the government to protect the many benefits currently enjoyed by UK holidaymakers under EU membership, including visa-free travel and free or reduced healthcare, in Brexit negotiations. The Association of British Travel Agents (Abta) wants ministers to maintain Britons’ ability to travel freely within Europe and beyond and protect existing consumer rights including compensation for delayed and cancelled flights. It is lobbying the government to secure the UK’s continued participation in the European Health Insurance Card scheme, which guarantees UK travellers reciprocal access to healthcare across Europe. In a new report, Making a Success of Brexit for Travel and Tourism, Abta sets out priorities for the negotiations that have implications for UK holidaymakers and the travel industry.

· March 31, 2016 ·

Strong demand among British holidaymakers for trips to Spain, Mexico and Jamaica has helped the owner of holiday brands Thomson and First Choice to compensate for reduced bookings to Turkey and north Africa. Tui Travel said revenues for the summer, when it makes all its profit, are up 3% and bookings are up 2%. Demand in the UK is strong with revenues up 8% and bookings registering a 9% rise, Tui said in a trading statement. The company said it moved quickly to switch customers to mainland Spain and the Spanish islands after a string of deadly terrorist attacks in Turkey, traditionally one of Tui’s most popular destinations. Flights to Sharm el-Sheikh have been cancelled since a Russian passenger plane was downed in October, probably by a bomb, after leaving the Egyptian resort. Tui said customers are also opting for long-haul trips to Mexico, Dominican Republic and Jamaica, and are booking cruises. It has sold 47% of summer holidays, in line with last year, beating its rival … [Read more...] about Tui Travel reports strong UK demand despite terrorism and weaker pound
