insurance policy as well. emma, you said there might be _ insurance policy as well. emma, you said there might be other _ insurance policy as well. emma, you said there might be other options i said there might be other options offered to passengers if they booked a package holiday, for example, to rhodes and that has now been cancelled. if they are unable to travel to that alternative destination, what do they do? if there isn't a suitable alternative then they would, and they booked a package holiday, then they would have the right to request a refund for the cost of that package holiday. that is why i am saying that if you booked a package holiday, you have a lot more protection there over the entire cost of that package holiday whereas if you booked things independently you will have to go through and look at your different booking agreements and find out the terms and conditions and it might be that your flight has been cancelled and you will be able to get your money back from that but it might be a different situation when you are looking at the arrangements that you've got around your hotel. unfortunately for those passengers, it will be a case of looking at the different agreements and arrangements that they have to understand what the circumstances means to their terms and conditions. thank you, emma for that information. the head of media for

flights and then you went on to book the hotel accommodation, then it really depends on the different terms conditions for your individual travel arrangements. as you said, some airlines are continuing to operate flights. however, they have also announced different policies in terms of whether passengers do or don't have to go on those flights if they wish to rebook, or move their flight to another date. so if you are due to travel and you booked everything separately, i would say, have a look at the information from your airline to find out if your flight is still going ahead and then discuss with them your options. if your flight has been cancelled, then you should be offered a chance to rebook for a later date or a chance to get you're a refund on the cost of that flight. and then you'll also need to look at what the policies are around your hotel accommodation, and i think i recommend checking out your travel insurance policies. 0k. and emma, you said that there might be other options offered to passengers if they've booked a package holiday, for example, to rhodes, and that's been now cancelled.
