Since they announced on 9th April information up to 23rd June (almost 10 weeks) – then I would imagine we’ll find out in the middle of May what’s happening with flights in the middle of July.

All flights suspended until 16 May 2021 – updates for flights after this date to be provided nearer the time – click here for more info
Customers that had their flights cancelled up until 16th May have received a full refund.

So that’s good news if flights get cancelled, but remember our holiday isn’t a package holiday, flights and villa have been booked separately – therefore in the scenario that we can travel but other restrictions prevent us from going into the villa then we either need to find another villa or we don’t travel. This is very unlikely though – if Spain allow us to enter the country then I can’t see why there would be any reason that the villa would be a problem – but you all just need to remember that flights / villa are two separate bookings.
Entry requirements
Last updated: 26 February 2021, 14.30
Following the release of the government’s roadmap, our flights are due to restart from 17 May 2021. We don’t have the specific details around country entry requirements yet, but we’ll make sure all the information is available on this page 14 days before our flights are due to restart.
Check the entry requirements of the destination you’re travelling to below, as you may need to fill in a form and take a COVID-19 test before you travel and/or self-isolate on return to the UK. Please check these regularly, as they can change at short notice.

Imagine the scenario:
Fourteen people turn up at the airport and everyone is required to take a Covid test and one person shows symptoms. What next, does that person go home and everyone else goes on holiday? Do they get a refund (probably not).
I don’t even want to think about it but at the same time we need to prepare for it and plan it and if you haven’t done so already, better start thinking about insurance.
Anyway, we need to keep checking the links after 17th May to see what the latest updates are with regards to flights and if they go ahead, then what the entry requirements are – can everyone save the following links and keep checking please?

My email to Panoramic Villas
Hi,
I just want to see if you have any info regarding bookings made for this year in Spain.
We still very much want to go ahead with this but we’re starting to get the feeling it might not happen due to circumstances outwith our control. Hope i’m wrong though.
If our flights get cancelled, then we won’t be able to travel. Are we protected in terms of getting our deposit back or is this in the hands of the villa owner? We need to pay the balance by end of May – but what if there’s still uncertainty about flights – can we wait until nearer the time before paying the balance?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks, Peter.

Hello Mr McCluskey,
I hope you and your family are well.
These are of course very difficult and uncertain times and we fully appreciate the questions this raises for travel in the future.
As we know the situation regarding Covid 19 can change so it is incredibly difficult in January to predict what we will be facing in July 2021. With the vaccine and other measures surrounding testing, travel may well be very possible. Of course we may also face a situation where travel is still prohibited.
We are really having to wait until we are presented with more details of what restrictions will or will not be in place for July 2021. Until this time we are unable to make any offers covering booking alterations. At this precise moment there are no official directives covering travel for July 2021 and until these are made available the property rental and its services do remain fully available for the booked period. Like yourselves we hope travel will be possible but will of course be here to help if travel is banned due to Covid 19 rulings.
We would of course delay the balance due date as the time draws closer in order to provide further time to better assess the situation.
If I can be of any assistance please let me know.
Kind regards,
Andy Lea

Although there is some uncertainty about the holiday, please remember the flights have been paid up front and I need the balance paid by end of January so I can clear my credit card. Check your individual page for your balance – if you have any questions, let me know.
VILLA
Balance: £2761.25 due before May 29 2021. I received communication from Panoramic Villas that they might be able to extend the balance due date if things are still uncertain as we approach the end of May.
