Customers who are booked with Goldtrail and wish to cancel in full and not rebook another flight/holiday

Your hotel/transfers - In our experience hotel/transfer providers are normally cooperative in these situations. Whilst we can’t make any guarantees that they will be able to amend or refund your booking, most will help as much as possible.
The most important thing is that if you now wish to cancel your hotel/transfer booking you tell us immediately. Please call us immediately on 0871 811 1281 to advise us of your intentions.
