Flights no fuel!

…. Bear in mind, it’s not just fuel ex-UK. Most flights unless very short, refuel again at the destination. It IS possible to carry extra fuel for the return on shorter flights, but this obviously adds to the cost of the flight in terms of weight, fuel price, etc. So it will also depend on the country/destination also supplying the fuel for the way back…..

Act of trump 😂😂😂 like that …

Unfortunately, as it would be an Act of Trump, now officially equivalent to an Act of God, you'll have no comeback. :-)

Flippin2I already said its NOT a package holiday its to visit family in Gibraltar.

Quite worried for my daughter as she's flight to Germany in a few weeks and Tenerife later in the summer. Both for weddings so maybe weddings cancelled if no flights

Further to my comment I have googled and as it's a package holiday the airline is responsible if it's through lack of fuel,they should offer full refund or alternative holiday,not obliged to compensate any extra..

Airlines might not be responsible for lack of fuel but I'll be damned if I don't get my money back if we can't go...

I was able to get my flight money and my Air BnB share repaid when I couldn't go due to my brother dying. I should imagine if you can't go because of the fuel, you should be able to get your accommodation paid for.

🤞🤞🤞 thanks all

Yes, heard 6 weeks too so you’ll likely be ok.

Europe has around 6 weeks of jet fuel left so I think this will affect a lot of people who have booked holidays this summer.

Insurance companies do their very best NOT at pay out if they possibly can.
Try to have a Plan B.

Too true.

Ideally, if someone came up with an insurance policy designed to insure against all the caveats in the small print of policies they'd make a fortune overnight!

FGT2 any suggestions for plan B? I won't be driving there 😂

Maybe contact your insurance provider (in writing) tanith and get an answer from them direct in this eventuality?

Oh my doesnt sound hopeful, it wasn't a package and the hotel was really expensive too. Oh well it is what it is fingers crossed as it was a special trip with both my daughters to spend time with my son and family and wil be very sad not to go.

Good luck with travel insurance, we were caught up last September in a dreadful situation at Stansted, the airport was evacuated so we missed our flight.

Despite expensive insurance we didn’t get a penny back.

I would say your Travel Insurance. I don’t think the airline is responsible for lack of fuel.

I think you can only claim for accommodation if it was included in a package with your flight tanith.
