Money savers don't book early very expensive Mark Warner holidays.
It's a non story.Posts are not advice and must not be relied upon.0 -
Any firm citing "Brexit" as a reason to fleece the customer needs to be wholly avoided and contracts terminated with when viably possibe. By ALL consumers who voted LEAVE.
How come wages aren't going up due to Brexit? Funny that.0 -
I would be interested to know if Mark Warner specifically mentioned a "Brexit" surcharge in their correspondence to customers or if this is MSE journalistic hype.
A surcharge because of currency exchange differences. "Brexit" surcharge I doubt.0 -
Another travel co. in difficulty perhaps ?? Short term cash flow problems ??0

i do feel sorry for those that have been stung by thins though!0 -

Without knowing the details its hard to know but currency fluctuates all the time and they should have hedged against it.
It appears they have applied this charge knowing that the majority of people would lose their holiday if they do not pay it. That is more of the issue.0 -
This is apparently not the first travel company to increase their charges, at various times for various reasons:

I wonder if they are only applying this to bookings made before brexit or if it also applies to those made after the fall in sterling - ie for bookings made when sterling was not at least 2% higher than it was now?!I think....0

You never hear about refunds after a favourable change in currency rates.
That's why this sort of thing stinks.0 -
A travel company of a certain size should be able to hedge their currency exchange exposures. When Mark Warner gets it wrong (or even if they haven't, but want to make a bit of extra cash), they blackmail their customers into making up their losses. Talk about having your cake and eating it!0
