Flights and accommodation
It’s up to individual tour operators whether they offer refunds, credits or nothing. Standard travel insurance policies are unlikely to cover cancellations as a result of the coronavirus outbreak.
The airlines have updated policies regarding cancellations and refunds, and major travel agents are also helping customers with changes or refunds.
You are advised to check with an airline or a hotel if they give credit for canceling the travel booking
Most major hotel chains have special policies during the outbreak to make it easier for guests to change or cancel reservations. Smaller hotels may be more restrictive with their policies, especially for reservations that have been booked as “non-refundable”. You are advised to check with an airline or a hotel if they give credit for canceling the travel booking.
The latest update on Australian airlines and travel operators:
- Qantas is automatically converting all canceled flights to a travel credit. It can be redeemed for travel for up to 12 months from the original booking.
- Jetstar gives the option to receive travel credit if you cancel flights. Travel credit can be redeemed for travel for up to 6 months from the original booking.
- Virgin Australia gives the option to receive travel credit if you cancel flights. There is also an option to change their flight to a later date and/or to a different destination, without incurring a change fee.
- Tigerair allows date or destination change without incurring a change fee. Travelers can also request a Flight Credit which will be valid for 6 months.
- Rex customers have an option to place the ticket value in credit. Booking change fees are waived, too.
- Airbnb updated its cancellation policy - guests who cancel reservations anywhere in the world will receive a full refund
