I personally can’t see us flying on 25/06, has anyone heard about any pending Jet2 announcements or an extension to the date on them resuming flights from 17/06 or any other ideas? We do have good insurance. Sit tight, almost certain you'll not be flying anywhere in June so you'll get the offer of a credit voucher to use when the time is right or a full refund. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do agree, I cannot see the Spanish just ‘opening up’ since we could essentially bring the virus into their country.Heartened to read that they were good with you regarding your refund!! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't find anything indicating that Spain will be willing to look at tourism from abroad opening up anytime for ANY other countries. Jet2 are certainly acting in a pretty decent manner, TUI, on the other hand, are not as far as I'm aware. Keep us updated. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They have been going through bookings in date order, a surprisingly logical approach. Pleasant telephone call, we made it clear we'd prefer a refund rather than a holiday voucher, within 2 minutes a confirmation e-mail came through that a full refund was agreed. They have been excellent throughout, although this hasn't been enough for some people, pouring out the usual nonsense on Facebook. This level of customer service goes a long way with us, when the green light is given for foreign holidays we will definitely be using them again. Well done. PS Money ALREADY transferred back through PayPal, can't ask for any more. Efficient, one person deals with the whole process, not passed onto another department where it could get lost in a sea of paperwork. My wife had a holiday booked with Jet2 and she was called yesterday and everything was settled relatively easy. She was asked the Tipping Point question a number of times mind you......... “Do you want to take the trade or the money?” Thankfully she took the money. When you get good customer service you remember that. Well done Jet2. I hope they get through this. We’d book with them again. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A lot of firms will go bust soon, and the voucher will be useless. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shull 2 Report post Posted May 10, 2020 (edited) My favourite Chinese Takeaway,the Golden Dragon in Crookston Road reopens today at 4-30 pm I am so looking forward to purchasing my Sunday dinner from there. The Yulan House has been a decent alternative in the past few weeks for me, so will give them 7/10 and say thanks. Hopefully the Golden Dragon will be their usual excellent 9/10 self. Cannae fecking wait. I must be addicted. Edited May 10, 2020 by shull 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
