All such bookings where the cancellation may be permitted must be cancelled prior to the scheduled departure time of the first flight segment by calling our customer service agent. We do not guarantee any cancellation. A cancellation fee of POUND 50 per person per ticket must be paid to us at the time of canceling the booking. We retain this fee. The credit will be held for a limited time period, please ask the customer service agent for the specific date by when you must use this credit or you will lose the credit amount. When you are ready to make the new booking, you will have to pay fare difference (if any), applicable airline penalties for that fare and travel-performance exchange fees.

CANCEL AND REFUND

All of our Airline tickets, vacation packages and our service fees are NON-REFUNDABLE. Trip protection insurance is refundable within 10 days of purchase if travel has not commenced and you have called our customer service center to cancel. All cancellations must be done over the phone only.

  3. If we are able to secure waivers from suppliers to process this cancellation and refund

Once you have provided our customer service agent with your cancellation request, we will then send you an email notification that your request has been received. This notification does not automatically qualify you for a refund. This only provides you with an acknowledgement of your request and provides you with a tracking number. Upon receipt of your request we will work with the suppliers' such as airlines, hotels, car-rental companies to generate a waiver based on airline and other supplier rules and we will then notify you of the supplier decision. Please note that we are dependent on the suppliers for receiving the refunds. Once the refund has been approved by the supplier it may take additional time for this to appear on your credit card statement. Generally, all suppliers will charge a penalty for refund. This entire process may take 60-90 days from receipt of your request to receiving credit on your statement. Apart from the airlines and other suppliers refund penalties, travel-performance will charge a fee for processing this refund ranging from POUND 50.00 – POUND 300.00 (POUND Fifty to POUND Three Hundred). All refund fees are charged on per-passenger, per-ticket basis. These fees will only be assessed if a refund has been authorized by the supplier or a waiver has been received and when the airline/supplier rules permit such refunds. If such refund is not processed by the supplier, we will refund you our fees that may have been charged to you for such processing.

  3. When you submit your credit or debit card for a purchase, we request an authorization for the amount of your anticipated transaction (placing a temporary "hold" on the funds).

Complaints and Disputes:

ABTA (Association of British Travel Agents) is an industry body that represents travel agents and tour operators in the UK. ABTA has a Code of Conduct that its members must adhere to, which includes rules on handling customer complaints and disputes.

If a customer has a complaint about a travel agent or tour operator that is an ABTA member, they should first raise the issue with the company directly. If the customer is not satisfied with the response from the company, they can then escalate the complaint to ABTA.

ABTA has a complaints handling process in place to deal with such complaints. The process involves the following steps:

  • The customer should submit their complaint in writing to ABTA within 12 months of the incident occurring.
  • ABTA will acknowledge receipt of the complaint within 7 days.
  • ABTA will then investigate the complaint and request a response from the travel agent or tour operator involved.
  • Once ABTA has received a response from the travel agent or tour operator, it will assess whether the response is satisfactory.
  • If ABTA finds that the response is unsatisfactory, it will ask the travel agent or tour operator to provide further information.
  • ABTA may also refer the complaint to its Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) scheme. ADR is an independent process that aims to resolve complaints between consumers and businesses without the need for legal action.
  • If the complaint is referred to ADR, the customer will need to provide evidence to support their claim, and the travel agent or tour operator will need to provide evidence to support their defence.
  • ADR will then make a decision on the complaint and provide a binding resolution.

It's worth noting that ABTA's complaints handling process is only available to customers who have booked their holiday through an ABTA member. If the customer has booked their holiday independently, they may need to pursue their complaint through a different route, such as through the small claims court.

By implementing this ABTA policy, Traveljunction.co.uk aims to provide customers with peace of mind and high-quality service throughout their holiday experience.
