Hotel and flight bookings to be refunded due to corona cancellation

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Mr Johnson has urged Britons to avoid pubs, clubs and theatres and stop non-essential travel in an effort to reduce the impact of the coronavirus. Anyone living in a household with somebody who has either a persistent cough or fever must now also isolate themselves for 14 days.
Because millions of people are affected through no fault of their own, At the least if they dont want to refund us they should credit our account so that we can use it as credit for future plans

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

Individual airlines, hotels and travel companies are responsible for setting policies and making decisions about refunds.
