Company has cancelled outbound flights

4 replies

We booked in June for Feb half term, so just under 5 weeks before we are due to go. The company is offering a full refund for the outbound flights, but it will cost us over £800 to replace them. This is for 4 flights London-Geneva.

Has anyone got any advice?

For a start if it is an airline direct booking then they should offer you an alternative . If it is via a travel agency then again they should not be accepting the refund on your behalf but asking for you to be prerotected on another route / airline.
Don't just accept the full refund as I am sure you have passenger rights even if the booking is being cancelled over 2 weeks.

Thanks Rosa!

It was booked with Go To Gate (which I think must be Swedish given the email) via Sky Scanner on Darwin Airlines and the email says that unfortunately the airline can only offer a full refund at this time.

There are more on trip Advisor and other sites... if you can do a FULL cancellation even for the return and book elsewher they are a 3rd party company and don't have a good name.
