Travel question: Can we cancel our flights amid security concerns?
Have a question? Ask Simon Calder
Q I booked five flights to Sri Lanka in February for our family Christmas and new year holiday, at a cost of £4,200.
Then we heard about the terrorist attacks and understandably want to cancel. But the airline says it will not be able to say until November whether or not our flight will leave, and has not offered a refund. Meanwhile, we can’t book anything else as we need the money back. Please, could you shed any light on this situation for us?
