Jet2 cancels flights to popular destination

Jet2 has cancelled all flights to Austria between November 22 and December 1, 2021.

This comes after the country went into a lockdown after an increase in covid cases.

The lockdown will see all of the country's restaurants, bars, hairdressers, theatres and non-essential shops close for at least 10 days.

Jet2 have released a statement, which said: "Due to the Austrian government imposing a national lockdown, we have taken the decision to suspend flights and holidays to Vienna up to and including December 1.

"Where customers are affected by any programme changes, we have been repeatedly recognised by independent travel agents for how we have handled this, and all affected trade bookings will be cancelled with a relevant refund.

"For bookings due to travel to Vienna after December 1, we will provide a further update ahead of then."

Austria’s official travel website states that overseas tourists, including those from the UK, are banned during the lockdown, with only specific exemptions.

Since the country has popular skiing destinations and impressive Christmas markets, the news will leave many customers disappointed as they miss out on their winter holidays.
