Just to let you know the update .....

Following an email to the Flight Centre this week I had a phone call today to say that 6 out of the 10 people can have a full refund of all the flights as Lufthansa have cancelled our Return Frankfurt to London part of the flight deal and put us on a flight 1 hour later.. I had to ask him twice to make sure but it is the case but if any flight is cancelled you are entitled to a FULL refund of all flights within your travel - So good news for the 6 

Fingers crossed for the other 4 now 

Just waiting for the official Tour cancelation now which should be next week and then I will be putting in writing for the refund - I was told they are around 3 months from Lufthansa 

Why only 6 out of 10

The other 4 were on the 10am flight which is still running so keeping my fingers crossed on them 
6 were on the 9am which was cancelled and they moved us to the 10am which entitled us to a full refund of the whole trip

It did surprise me a little but the announcement does nothing for fans who have booked to travel independently. 
There is no guarantee of fans especially around 40,000 rugby fans who normally travel for this event 
It just keeps everyone in limbo again "Do you cancel?" "Do you keep the flights?" 
I have also got refundable accommodation to cancel with a cut off date so this is all ridiculous

I also read today that whilst the Tour may go ahead, there may not be any fans at the games ..........................
