Holidays Series 10: Episode 4
The Rip Off Britain team are here to help sort out your holiday hardships. Today, it’s all about trips that didn’t happen despite the best efforts of those involved, including the perils of booking online as experienced by a stag party left with nowhere to stay, and the problems of booking in person reported by families who found the pool at their luxury country house full of green algae. Also, how effective have the authorities been at keeping travel companies in line during the pandemic? There is expert advice for a father still waiting for a refund months after his flights were cancelled, and travel guru Simon Calder gives us his guide to a magical break on the River Fowey in Cornwall.
