Listen now
Description
Almost 300,000 flights will take off over the summer months and whilst most holidays go without a hitch, others fail to get off the ground. Last year saw widespread disruption at airports, in August there was an exceptional IT failure at the UK’s main air traffic services provider NATS over a bank holiday Monday which affected around three quarters of a million people. Strikes and staff shortages also caused disruption. In this programme we'll discuss what your rights are if your trip is delayed or cancelled, as well as a Brexit passport rule which has been catching thousands of passengers out. Felicity Hannah is joined by consumer rights champion Jane Hawkes and Sean Tipton from ABTA, which is the association of travel agents and tour operators. Presenter: Felicity Hannah Producer: Sarah Rogers Editor: Jess Quayle (This episode was first broadcast on the 3rd of July 2024.)
