CORONAVIRUS UPDATE – May 1st, 2020
The Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO) has advised British citizens against all non-essential travel worldwide. The advisory was initially established up until April 17th, and has now been extended to an indeterminate date. It could be removed at any time with no notice.
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to unprecedented international border closures and other restrictions. All countries may restrict travel without notice. As the global situation around CV-19 develops, we are working quickly and diligently to assist our clients. Since the rapid closure of many borders in March, our immediate efforts to relocate and repatriate clients outside of the UK were successful. Everyone is sheltered safely at home.
If you are travelling in the next 4-8 weeks, we will be in touch with you as a priority to evaluate your options.
Please consider a future date to reschedule your travel. Re-booking your holiday is the best option and Odyssey World are waiving any amendment fees to rearrange your bespoke travel itineraries. We are working with airlines and suppliers to minimise extra costs for you. Airline policies are changing frequently and rolling forward to reflect the current travel restrictions.
If you are travelling after June 30, please be patient. We are monitoring the situation closely and already considering options for your trip. We will be in touch shortly to discuss these with you. If there is no current Foreign Office advice against travel to a region, cancellation will be subject to our regular terms and conditions. We are being as flexible as possible to reschedule holidays on a case by case basis, where required.
We are only responding to and following official government advice.
