• Seven days (168 hours) or more: full refund.

• 24 hours to less than 72 hours: at least a 50% refund.
• Less than 24 hours, or a no show: normally no refund, subject to the loss limit below.

Cancellation charges are capped at our reasonable net loss. We take account of costs saved and replacement bookings, and refund more where our loss is lower. Your statutory rights are unaffected.
