Accommodation reimburse flight costs in case of cancellation?

Questioner

I recently booked a theme week/package online at a hotel in Italy, but the hotel cancelled the trip a month later. This was a choice made by the hotel itself. Unfortunately I had already paid for the plane tickets and the hotel gave me the choice to come on the planned date without the arrangement or to come on a different date, but we do not want to make use of this option. I asked the hotel to reimburse the costs incurred for the plane tickets, but the hotel refused to cooperate. What are my rights in this case? I have no insurance for this, etc.

Lawyer

Since I can't get a specific case about your situation, I can give you general information about the rights you have if someone breaks a contract. If the hotel cancels the package you have booked, the hotel should normally compensate you. This should be any reasonable costs you have incurred as a result of the cancellation, which may include your flight tickets. It will be very important to check the terms and conditions of the booking with the hotel. These terms and conditions may include provisions on what happens in the event of a cancellation by the hotel. In addition, if you have booked through a travel portal or company, their terms and conditions may also apply. If you are considering taking legal action, it may be wise to seek legal advice first. For example, you could consult a specialist contract lawyer to assess whether you have a strong case and what your options are. It may also be useful to contact a consumer organisation such as Consuwijzer. They may be able to give you further advice on your rights as a consumer in this situation and advise you on the steps to follow. However, please note that your rights and possible compensation may vary depending on the specific circumstances of your situation. A concrete and detailed analysis of your case is always necessary to fully understand your rights and obligations. ---------------- Stichting Rechtswinkel.nl is a national organization with students and volunteers.
