Travel to Europe June half term - which travel agent is offering fully refundable holidays now?

Hi, we are a family with children who would like to go abroad to Morocco/Turkey/Egypt in June half term. Does anyone know if there is a travel company (like TUI Travel or Virgin) that offers fully refundable holidays now, in case you can't go due to quarantine restrictions or not being allowed to travel for another Covid-related reason? Thanks.

    TUI are offering a promise https://www.tui.co.uk/destinations/info/our-promise but you may want to avoid their B737 MAX aircraft.
    Posts are not advice and must not be relied upon.

    From the big boys I would look at TUI, Jet2Holidays or British Airways Holidays. For each look online at their Coronavirus related travel polices.

    I don't think there is anyone who will guarantee a refund if travel is permitted but you choose not to go because of a UK quarantine requirement.

    read any conditions  for a refund very carefully.
    Unable to travel may be due to FCO advice which is usually covered.
     Or  local government advice meaning only certain areas are restricted. That  may not  covered.
    Not able to go because  of covid infection, isolation or quarantine on arrival or when returning would not normally be the airline's concern.
    Remember, the situation can change at very short notice.


  • Thanks very much for your replies. We will look at TUI, BA holidays and Jet 2 Holidays.
