    I assume you mean non-essential travel? They don't have to give you any notice at all, but if they give you less than 14 days notice (assuming that his holiday commences with a flight from a UK or EU airport), then you are entitled to compensation of up to €600 under EU 261/2004. This would be in addition to a refund or rebooking.
    What do Sunmaster offer in their own T&C's? WE can't see your contract.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    There is absolutely zero chance of EU compensation being due, the EU have come out and said it doesnt apply, so why mention it?
  • If I change my package holiday to next year then the company go bust can I still do a section 75 claim
