Direct booking Holiday advice: Thomson and First Choice direct holidays have introduced redundancy protection on holidays booked direct by the end of February.
When claiming a refund, customers need to show proof of two years employment and that it has been terminated. Those claiming will be entitled to a refund of their deposit and of the final balance up to one month before departure.
The measure has been brought in following the Chartered Institute of Personnel Development warning that a slower than expected recovery could threaten to raise peak unemployment to at least three million by the summer.
The offer is valid on all bookings for Thomson and First Choice package holidays made in Thomson or First Choice shops until February 28 for holidays departing between May 1 this year and April 30, 2011.
“In what is traditionally the busiest month for holiday bookings, customers who want to make the most of the many early booking offers available can do so, knowing that if they lose their job and can no longer afford the holiday, their money will be refunded without penalty,” a statement said.
