Book your UK holiday with our Covid refund guarantee, despite Grant Shapps

Today, transport secretary Grant Shapps has advised people not to book summer holidays in the UK or abroad. We believe this is the wrong advice, and are therefore issuing our own. The advice should not be, ‘do not book a holiday,’ but ‘do not book a holiday unless it has package protection and a full Covid refund guarantee’. We have both.

Of course you can’t hang all your hopes on getting away (who knows where we’ll be in terms of restrictions and vaccines). However, there’s a good bet that, like last year, you’ll be able to explore the remote parts of UK we know so well here at Byway, on off-peak trains away from the crowds. If you wait until Grant Shapps says it’s ok, it’s entirely possible the best stays will be sold out on the dates you’re after. We’ve seen a surge in bookings in January and February as holiday hopefuls look to beat the post-lockdown rush (we wrote about it here), and our 100% Covid refund guarantee provides full protection and reassurance if the trip isn’t possible in the end.

If Covid restrictions mean your trip can’t go ahead we’ll issue an immediate and complete refund or move your dates for free. We’re bonded by ABTA, which means your holiday is financially protected and regulated. You can read more about our Covid guarantee here.
