Rejected
21 signatures
What the petition asks
Speak about the treatment of customers from Virgin holidays and other airlines and travel agents about refunds to customers. I am a customer of Virgin Holidays and cancelled my holiday on 18th March
It states in the terms and conditions 14 days. I am now at day 83 and still waiting. We are having no correspondence from virgin. I habe tried various emails. Phone lines have been switched off. No replies on whatsapp and now virgin are not responding to tweets or Direct Messages
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
Arrangements for refunding, changing or rebooking travel are a civil matter between individual travellers and holiday operators, not the Government or Parliament.
