EasyJet adds: ‘We’re processing refund requests within 7 days, and they may take a few extra days to come through to your bank account.’

Can I get a refund from Tui?

Tui will send you a Refund Credit by email, if you are eligible for one.

Then when you receive it, you need to fill out the following online form here.

Tui’s website says: ‘Each refund needs to be processed manually and can take up to 14 days.’

You will be refunded the full amount you originally paid for your booking.

However Tui warns: ‘Please note that any incentive associated with your booking will automatically expire once you submit your refund request and cannot be redeemed as cash as part of your refund.’

The Refund Credit can also be used to book future travel.

Tui adds: ‘Plus, if your original booking was for a package holiday, you'll get a separate booking incentive.’

How to get a refund from BA?

If your flight is delayed for 5 hours or more, you can get a refund for the parts of your journey you did not fly.

If you're delayed at your final destination by more than 3 hours and that delay arises from causes within BA’s control (rather than extraordinary circumstances which could not have been avoided by all reasonable measures) you can claim compensation.

If your flight has been cancelled you can claim a refund.
