Virgin Flight Only - Canx Advice Aug 2020

Hi All
Just after some advice. We bought flights with Net flights for a Virgin flight in August this year, paid in full by credit card, 10 months ago. We are now, given the circumstances we are in, going to be struggling to afford the holiday, as partner may lose his job soon. We are not in a position to use and move next year as we have our wedding to pay for next year. 
I am asking if I was to cancel now would I get any kind of refund on the tickets or would we lose 100% of the money?
Thanks in advance.
Rachel

    Yes you would lose it all unless the operator cancels the flights first.

    And even then, for some reason you used a third party operator to book the flights.  I have no idea why you used this company but I strongly suggest you go and read their terms and conditions. 
  • Thank you, so nothing to lose by waiting and seeing if flight gets cancelled then anyway, rather than cancelling now??

    Exactly. Let them cancel. If you do, you'll lose whatever your contract with NetFlights says you'll lose.
