How can I claim compensation for a holiday that has gone wrong?
If something went wrong with your holiday you might be able to get compensation from the company you booked with.
If you’re still on holiday, tell the company or travel agent about the problem as soon as possible. You might be able to get it sorted quicker – like if there’s a problem with the room. If you don’t say anything until you get home, you might get less compensation or none at all.
Read what to do if your flight was delayed.
Your legal rights depend on whether you:
- went on a package holiday
- went on a holiday with ‘linked travel arrangements’
- were an independent traveller
The web page linked below contains detailed advice.
- Check what type of holiday you’ve booked
- Write to the company and ask for compensation
- If you’re still unhappy
