In January I booked flights for May this year with Qatar and received notification during Easter weekend that my flights were cancelled. I successfully got a refund for the flights, despite them being non-refundable. If you booked online it needs to be done by going through a thing called Zendesk.

Looks like they are working on burying a cable.... probably an afterthought!!!

Was once stopping down in Twickenham and decided to go for a wander alongside the Thames heading eastward.... Didn't fancy walking all the way back from the centre of London, so I caught the tube from Victoria to Kew Garden and walked back from there...

Can't really make any plans at the moment, but probably won't book a trip until the end of any quarantine requirement on arrival.... The only plan that seems to be set in stone is I'm retiring in 21 months time....

https://www.tatnews.org/category/thailand-tourism-updates/ Probably the best website to keep an eye on for travel information for Thailand.... Situation updates posted every day and includes updates on airports and travel restrictions.

How about this for a comprehensive list of those exempt from Quarantine.... https://immigrationbarrister.co.uk/who-is-exempt-from-the-14-day-coronavirus-quarantine-period/ I come under 2 of those categories....

The bigger question is how long will it be before Thailand permits travellers from the UK to enter? And to enter without quarantine!!! Was watching a TV show this morning and it seems a lot of people are willing to accept quarantine on return as long as they get their 2 weeks holiday in Benidorm!!!!

No quarantine for me!!! I've just been through that list and I'm in 2 of those categories.....

Oh dear...... and the cabin door was open on that 787..... wonder how much foam got inside???

Apparently punks can also write classical music.... Jaz Coleman.... singer with Killing Joke... And classical composer...

Got a little bit of a surprise..... when I book flights I always link through to airline pages through topcashback.co.uk..... After my flights got cancelled was expecting the transaction to go down as a rejected cashback claim..... Interestingly it changed from pending to confirmed, and then shockingly had become payable when I checked today...... that £31.36 cashback is now heading towards my bank account...

9 days after submitting my refund request and I have had a full refund paid back into my account....

3 days after submitting my refund request online and I've had a result..... my refund has been authorised and should be credited back to my credit card account shortly.... Looks like quoting their own T & C's has helped.... along with threatening a charge-back....

5 days ago contacted QR support via twitter (@qrsupprt) to ask how my refund request was progressing..... yesterday was informed there was no refund request in the system and vouchers had been issued against my booking... My reply to them was I was entitled to a full refund under their own T & C's and failure to refund me quickly would result in me contacting my credit card company to initiate a charge-back..... @qrsupport replied I was entitled to a full refund but needed to submit a refund request online, which I submitted yesterday. Reply received this morning saying my

Within 4 days of requesting a refund off Bangkok Airways the refund is showing in my account...... Impressed.... No sign of a refund off Qatar yet!!!

On Friday received an email from Bangkok Airways informing me that our flight from BKK to CNX on May 28th was now cancelled.... Sent an email to them at the address shown on the email requesting a refund..... result was just an automated reply acknowledging my email.... Did a little research and found a hidden web-page for doing refunds via an online form, but it also had an email address for refund inquiries...... fired off an email to that email account and in less that 24 hours I've had a reply saying a full refund has been authourised...... this was for a non-refundable ticket. Impres

Looks like the ban on passenger flights will be extended for a longer period.... Couple of days ago was notified by Bangkok Airways that a domestic flight from BKK to CNX on May 28th is now cancelled...

Yep...... when I booked I checked the likes of skyscanner and booking direct with QR was amongst the cheapest for the flight times I wanted ... Sometimes traveltrolley comes up cheapest but this time Qatar came in at the same price..... I also tend to go via topcashback.co.uk when booking flight as it also helps reduce the total cost..... my Qatar transaction for this trip was showing confirmed at £31 with them but probably will lose that now I've gone for a refund.

Managed to get through to the Qatar office a LHR this morning and requested them to issue a full refund of my tickets as they had cancelled my flights. Was promised the full refund should be made within 4 to 6 weeks.... I would have been quite happy with the voucher, but nobody knows when international air travel will return to normal so a full refund looked the better option.

Another email off Qatar today..... now giving me the option of a refund instead of the vouchers....

Email off Qatar this morning informing me my flights for May/June trip have now been cancelled and I've been issued with vouchers to the value of those flights +10% Voucher validity is for 12 months....

Be prepared for your June trip not to happen....

Haven't yet done anything with regards to the Domestic flights I booked with Bangkok Airways and Thai Airways..... booked at the Cheap Charlie non-refundable price so am still waiting to see if those flights get cancelled and refunded..... If they don't get cancelled I'll claim on my travel insurance for them.... I'll be opting for vouchers with Qatar for my MAN-BKK flights..... I'm waiting for nearer my departure date before I do that....

£3.10...... so about 120 baht Checked the cc account last night..... wasn't showing the refund..... just checked again now and surprisingly it's now showing!!! So it's took 18 days...

I had a room booked in June via Expedia and opted for the price with "cancellation and full refund" option"..... Cancelled 18 days ago..... The customer service "chatbot" responded with "could take up to 28 days to be refunded to my account"..... So far no sign of the refund....... but my Expedia points have been credited back to my Expedia account.
