Cancelling holiday

Hi all quick question regarding cancelling online purchases.
Correct me if wrong but can't you have a full refund within 7 days when making purchases online?

If this is true does this include holidays?


Thanks in advance

    DSRs don't apply to travel bookings.

    Stand corrected, this does not apply to holidays and other similar services.

    It depends on why you have to cancel and who the flights are with. If it is a lowcost carrier then the flights would have been paid at the time of booking, but the Travel Agent may refund the hotel cost minus a deposit. If it is travelling within 8 weeks then I wouldn't think you would get anything back.

    Best to claim on your travel insurance.
