Flight Cost	N/A	If the FCDO advises “all but essential travel” leading to your flight being cancelled you will receive a full refund. If you have booked with Icelandair, British Airways or Jet2, you will only be charged a small cancellation fee (£25pp for Icelandair, £40pp for BA, £75 for Norwegian, £30 Play, £30 for Wizz and £30pp for Jet2) if you are cancelling for a reason that falls under our COVID assurance scheme. If you have booked with a low budget airline, we may have to offer less flexibility as we have to commit to the full cost of the flight at the time of booking, which is non-refundable to us. Therefore if you have selected this option, you may not get a refund on the cost of your flights.	At this point it is likely that your flight ticket will already have been issued, therefore the flexibility of refund will depend on the airline, reason for cancelling and the destination you are travelling to.
