My holiday destination is locked down and my flights have been cancelled but not my hotel. The hotel is non refundable is there anything we can do? This is our honeymoon as we are due to get married in two weeks time and fly out two days after the wedding. We have already lost our venue and this honeymoon was the pick up we needed. Is the a chance the dates can be changed or something can be done otherwise we loose 600 pound

    Assuming this was booked as separate components and not a package, speak to whoever you booked the hotel with to ask about date changes etc. Also look at your travel insurance policy wording to see whether it may cover

    You say the destination is locked down... is the hotel open and accepting guests?  If it is closed, then you would be entitled to a full refund, as they cannot provide what you payed for.

    If it is open, then the above advice from Caz is correct.  Best you can hope for is a goodwill gesture of a date change or voucher (although keep in mind they don't have to on a non-refundable rate).
