easyJet help
A colleague of mine had a holiday booked for last year, and had paid over £240 deposit. Obviously it got cancelled, but they said they would give him the money back by means of a voucher in his online account.

Irish Ferries would only offer a credit note for use up to the end of 2021. The trip was booked pre March 2020. It has become apparent that we are unlikely to use this credit in 2021…
