  • I completely get it but just find it so unfair that we can’t go because the rules have changed since booking not because we have decided not to go!

    It's unfair but nothing about the pandemic has been fair. You made a booking in the full knowledge that entry requirements are constantly changing during a pandemic.

    Hopefully entry requirements change but if they don't you took the risk and subsequently you have to accept the consequences for that risk not paying off.

    It's even more unfair to expect TUI to change it's refund policies to suit you.

  • For the record, I have never said I expect any company to change their policies to suit me! 
    Luckily we can move the holiday to a summer holiday just for the 4 of us, it’s just extended elderly family who are disappointed that we cannot all go together. It’s the upset more than anything. I thought this was a supportive forum?

    Can the elderly extended family not also change their booking date? 
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    You have my sympathy.
    why can the elderly not change their dates? Surely they don’t have to fit around work leave?

    its unfortunate (I have a similar situation myself) but I think people are being helpful and supportive by giving you the truth about liability even if it’s not “fair”.
