Today we were supposed to fly to Indonesia for a LoB next week. Flights have been rescheduled last week, and again these days they were a mess (cancellations etc). Anyway, last night together with my wife we decided to cancel the trip.
Only some flights (to and from Indonesia) are refundable. The rest (local flights here and in Indonesia) are not. Scuba republic (LoB operator) refused to refund. According to them I still have plenty of time to make to Indonesia. Here is their reply:
"You have a week to recover before the liveaboard. Unfortunately we can not give a refund this last minute for this reason."
They don't seem to care about the (now) pandemic at all. When I asked them if it is possible at least to reschedule the trip for later this year they replied:
"No, I'm sorry. You have more than a week to the trip. I don't understand why you would need to reschedule."
The exponential grow of cases (doubling every 2 days or so) seems to have started in Indonesia. Only God knows (and I am not religious) how the situation will be there in 2 weeks time (when I was supposed to be finished with the LoB).
Here in Greece government closed all schools etc today. I am on leave for 2 weeks hence time for some quality time with kids and wife! I don't even care about the 2500euros loss anymore.
All the best.
