My friends and I paid nearly £8000 for a special holiday in Thailand for March 2022. Due to Thai restrictions we would not have been able to go to our first 3 night stop over in Bangkok, as had to have covid test on arrival at airport then go to a designated hotel till results come through, then no domestic flights from Bangkok to Phuket, who are doing the sandbucket scheme, so couldn't go outside Phuket. Oh and forgot to mention that at the time the Thai government had stopped issuing passes into the country.. curfew on opening times etc etc, list goes on. So we asked to transfer to 2023, this was supposed to be the dream holiday, they came back and said it would be an extra £500 each, for flights that have not even been released yet ??? Of course we refused and decided to cancel because we had the Hays Promise, which incidentally is one of the main reasons we booked with them, meaning all money would be refunded if holiday affected by covid in anyway. So imagine my shock when I've been emailed to say that I can expect the refund of £3222, in the next few days... no explanation about what's happened to the over £4000 that's missing. This is going to be an interesting next few days, trust me. National papers, Facebook, Instagram, ABTA, governing bodies, if we don't get the full refund 😡
