Irish airline Aer Lingus is set to continue their flexible booking option for people planning on booking a foreign holiday this summer.
The pandemic has meant that holidays have become a thing of the past as all foreign travel has been advised against.
With cases surging across the globe people have been taking it upon themselves to stay at home in a bid to curb further spread of the virus.
However, there is hope on the horizon that we will be able to go on a sun holiday again with the arrival of a Covid-19 vaccine.
And Aer Lingus is now extending its flexible booking policy until September 30, 2021.
The policy means that people travelling with Aer Lingus on any fare type will be able to change their travel dates free of charge, and as many times as they wish, up to two hours before they travel.
Certain fares also include the option to exchange for a voucher up to 14 days before travel to any destination or within 14 days if a country’s travel guidance changes or customers decide they do not want to travel.
This includes if a country moves to red on the EU Travel Framework.
The vouchers can be used to book travel to / from any destination on the Aer Lingus network over the next five years.
A fare difference may apply however but unlimited changes can be made on all bookings until 30th September 2021.
Fare types include Plus, Smart, Advantage, Flex, Business or Business Flex fare.
David Shepherd, Aer Lingus Chief Commercial Officer, said: “We understand that planning ahead is challenging at the moment but equally we recognise the need for something to look forward to.
"We hope that with by extending our flexible booking options our customers can have the confidence to plan for their summer holiday knowing that their booking can be changed at no extra cost.”
