August 2021 Planning - Will we get there?

[Gelatoni]

Just had the cancellation email for the 22nd. Whoop whoop, I can claim a refund now 😀

Sad times but glad to be getting the money back tbh.

Yes I can still see it for 22nd august, it did say on the email the changes will take place over the weekend.

This is what it says for third party bookings:-

Tour operator, travel agent or other airline bookings
Please contact your travel provider directly to rebook on the next available flight or to discuss a refund.

We are unable to process changes on bookings made by a third party company, and we are not responsible for third party fees.

Wanted to change to September but it’s an extra £1k 😔

Yes I changed without cost to Easter and those flights were £1000pp more than my originals - we had 5 seats to move.

Booked direct with Virgin Atlantic. They did quote me for a move at first but I did point out that I thought I could change for free because they had cancelled the flight.

That’s amazing. I’m through a 3rd party provider but I’m hoping virgin move me to either next available flight or to a date in September with no additional charge, current prices are about £800 more than we paid for the September flights so I think they will just offer cancellation or pay difference to move date.

I believe biden is making some form of speech tonight, are there any rumours around this containing any news on travel?

Anybody else still have active flights to Miami?

What are you planning to do?

We’ve still got 7th August and will need to take a voucher soon. Everything else is already cancelled.

So had confirmation today that our 3rd time not so lucky booking was cancelled. Been busy all morning cancelling everything, DD12 is taking it better than me. Keeping my eye on October but after cancelling everything today I’m a bit wary of booking at the moment. Got a new countdown though that was booked last month so fingers crossed it goes ahead 🙏

Hi has anyone booked their flights with Dial A Flight? I booked Virgin KLM flights with them for 11th August, my outbound flight is showing as cancelled but Dial a Flight are saying I can only get a credit note, but I’m convinced they told me a full refund would be given if the flight was cancelled, when I booked.
Can anyone offer any advice? Thanks
