    Thanks for the replies may have messed up as cancelled accommodation as booking.com were offering to pay most of the money back
    Wait? You came on here at 4:46PM to ask for advice?

    You were given good advice to go, enjoy and not to lose any money.

    And by 5:11PM you already have cancelled to get accommodation refunded and to lose flight costs??

     :s  :'(
    I would say there was a hint of panic....
    Perhaps? and also something else?  o:)

    Just didnt know as lockdown starts on Friday and not flying back until friday. Asked jet2 and they didn't seem to know but they are still flying
    No, Thursday (or midnight Wednesday to be precise).
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    Do think OP did not actually have a grasp about what lockdown actually meant?
    Perhaps thought they would not be allowed back in UK / country etc?

    Anyway OPs choice. LOL
    Wish I was going to Madeira on Monday. Lovely island.  Stayed at Funchal in 2019 great holiday!!

  • Sorry but just panicked and started phoning the companies involved and when I was offered some money back for the hotel took it quite early on this morning but just have had no information from jet2 on the flight so that was my question.
    Thanks for the replies  and apologies if I didn't make everything clear

    This morning??

     Ok no problem OP.

    As said the flights will go ahead.

    There is no restrictions against going.
    Hopefully you have not lost too much money? Enjoy your days off. B)

    You blinked first. I see no reason why your flight doesnt operate tomorrow and if you dont get on it....then thats it, you wont get any money back for them.

  • Id book another hotel. You won’t get any money back for the flights if they still operate.
