My friends and I are due to go to Benidorm in July - we have been paying off via instalments, last one is due 2 weeks before we go... does anyone know if we are able to move the date due to COVID-19. Has anyone had any dealings with them regarding this please?

    What does your contract say? Is the original holiday still being offered?
    Does your holiday insurance cover you if you cancel? 
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    It is still 6-8 weeks to then, so a lot can change between now and then.

    Spain have announced they will be allowing overseas tourists from the 1st July along with the 2 week quarantine apparently....

    OTB may allow you to change it but I would imagine it will be very expensive to do so.

    You need to speak to OTB, they have no obligation to move the dates if travel is allowed then - but only they will know for sure.
