The evolving coronavirus situation is extraordinary and the Foreign and Commonwealth (FCO) advice in relation to specific destinations is changing rapidly, so it is very important that anyone due to travel imminently checks the FCO advice for their specific destination and liaises with their travel provider.
Travel companies are working around the clock to support customers, their decisions will be guided by the operational situation and Government advice.
Given the extraordinary volume of enquiries, and the rapidly changing situation, the best course of action for travellers with future bookings is to monitor and follow FCO advice for the destination they are travelling to, and wait for their travel provider to contact them if the situation changes in regards to their booking.
Many travel companies are doing all they can to offer flexible booking policies at this time, such as giving customers the option to change their departure dates without charge, so we’d recommend talking to them about the options that are open to you.
ABTA’s advice page also includes the specific destinations the FCO is advising against all but essential travel to along with supporting information: abta.com/coronavirus.
