Changing your travel plans without paying a penalty has never been easier than it s been in 2020.
The holiday period can be more rigid in terms of cancellation policies, but if you ve booked a holiday getaway and are having second thoughts about the trip, you may still be able to either get your money back or apply your investment to future travel. Thanks to the pandemic, the travel industry being flexible to the consumer is a theme that s here to stay, says Josh Alexander, a travel adviser with Protravel International in New York City.
Given the growing number of coronavirus cases around the country, Alexander says that he has a handful of clients who are getting cold feet about going on their holiday getaways. In the past, he says, hotels were rigid about their cancellation terms, especially during peak periods such as the week between Christmas and New Year s; they also had minimum night stay requirements.
