Barcelona. Spain banned gatherings over 1k. DH was going to an event. Can he get flight refunded?

And hotel?

There's no point in him going now.

Can he get flights and hotel refunded as the government have banned the event?

I doubt it but someone had said he could

No. Unless fco day don't go to spain. They may do that eventually but is probably at least a couple of weeks away.

I wouldn't think so - travel insurance doesn't take in to account the reason you are going, only if you actually can't go.

If he booked flight & event as a package, yes.

If not then no, sorry

SassyBrassyBitch · 12/03/2020 00:05

No. Not a package :(

Great. What a waste :(

My DH is in a similar situation. He’s supposed to be going to Germany this weekend for a football match but it’s now being played behind closed doors. Flights, hotel, ticket all paid for. He will get his ticket refunded but that’s about it.
As far as I’m aware, flight costs would only be refunded if they (the company providing the flight) cancel the flights. The only way I can see that happening is if Germany go into lockdown and stop flights in and out. I don’t see a that happening yet. Maybe a few weeks down the line but not by this weekend.
