Selling A Holiday

I've got to cancel a 13 night holiday due to leave within 2 weeks. Has anybody done this, how and how much did it cost?

Depending on your reason for cancellation, your travel insurance should cover the cost.

No idea how you would sell it on, sorry.

There is a sliding scale of compensation based on the date of notice of cancellation reference the date of travel.

It's in Thomsons brochures

28-15 days = 90% loss

14-0 days = 100% loss

Your travel insurance may not cover all circumstances - for example I elected to cancel a week in Spain 2000 when the local hospital flagged up a late cancellation slot for a gall bladder operation. Had to bear the full loss, however health comes first.

Didn't your travel insurance cover a medical cancellation? Weecountryman

I had the condition prior to booking the holiday, and was advised that travel insurance would be void if I elected to take a cancellation when the holiday was scheduled.

Sorry to hear that Hope it's resolved now

17 years ago, it wasn't an issue for me, health comes first.

It was only a week in Ibiza at a complex focused at entertaining late teenagers, in order to keep our 17 year old son onside - he had been in Harry Enfield's "Kevin" mode the previous summer holiday !!!

Doh!! Lol!!
