Book confidently thanks to our enhanced protection* option for your exchange holiday booking and our refundable extra holidays cancellation policy.

You can now add enhanced protection at the time of booking (or up to 30 days after booking) for exchange holidays starting more than 14 days away and with return travel dates up to and including 30.06.22.

This will safeguard both your trading power or points AND your exchange fee – meaning you can change your booking for ANY reason up to five days before check-in.

Find out more about enhanced protection here.

For any new extra holidays booked from 01.04.21 onwards, you’ll have the flexibility to change or make a fully-refundable cancellation up to 46 days before check-in. Plus you will also only lose 15% of the price paid if you cancel within 31-45 days of check-in. Terms apply – read our revised extra holidays cancellation policy here.

If you have a credit on your account from an exchange holiday you were unable to enjoy, you are welcome to use this towards an extra holiday booking.

Don’t forget to ask about flexible booking options when speaking with our guides about hotel exchange and hotel bookings. Each hotel will have its own booking terms and cancellation policies which will apply.

For existing exchange holiday bookings made from 01.10.20 onwards:

i) If you have purchased enhanced protection* you’ll have the flexibility to modify your exchange booking and rebook a future exchange holiday, provided you rebook within six months of the date you choose to cancel your original exchange booking.
