Sandy, if you paid for your trip with a credit card, just
ask to have the amount refunded. If not, did you purchase
trip cancellation insurance. If so, you should be covered
for default, unless you purchased Far & Wide's own
insurance. In that case, there is no coverage for their
'default'. But first contact the travel agent who made the
reservation. They have been getting messages from many
other tour operators who are making offers to help travelers
caught in this problem, by allowing them to book a similar
trip with their company, often crediting them for the
deposit they have made. Your travel agent should have this
information for you. Some of those companies are Brendan
Tours, CIE, Globus & Cosmos, Trafalgar, Insight, Tauck Tours
and Tourism Ireland. Globus has an 800 number just for this
situation. 800 372 1761. But start with your travel agent.
Good luck, and please let other Ziners know how you come out. Rosemary |
