Sue Radford posted on Instagram about her cancelled holiday to Dubai, which was a gift from her daughter and son for her and her husband Noel. They were planning to fly on Wednesday. The holiday was disrupted due to conflict in the Middle East, with Israel and Iran launching new strikes.
Sue Radford said she has since heard back from the travel company, but the specific travel company she was dealing with has not been identified. " She added, "Phone line's dead so guessing they have turned them off and no response from them to emails I have commented on their Insta page but all of our comments have been deleted... " It is unknown whether Sue Radford received a refund or compensation for her cancelled trip.
Anyway hands up who's been having a nightmare with travelup1 because I think there's going to be lots of you.
Commenters on Sue Radford's post were horrified, criticizing her for being insensitive during a war. One commenter said, "And the rest are stranded with many fearing for their lives. " In the past year alone, Sue and her family enjoyed at least eight holidays to Lapland, Italy, the Caribbean, Florida, Paris, and Dubai.
Meanwhile, British nationals were delayed from returning home when the UK's first evacuation flight failed to take off from Oman. The exact reasons why that flight failed to take off are not clear. Terrified passengers were said to be smashing on windows and having panic attacks.
Phone line's dead so guessing they have turned them off and no response from them to emails I have commented on their Insta page but all of our comments have been deleted... and there been lots from very unhappy customers.
How many British nationals are currently stranded in the Middle East due to the conflict remains unknown.
And the rest are stranded with many fearing for their lives. Your holiday dues not matter right now.
People have died, a war is going on and you're moaning because you can't book a holiday to Dubai??
