Frequently Asked Questions

First Choice Flex gives you the flexibility to cancel and refund your holiday right up until 48 hours before your flight is due to depart – we’ll just hold on to your First Choice Flex fee*.

If you need to cancel, and it’s more than 48 hours before your flight is due to depart, your total holiday cost will be refunded back to you. The price you paid for First Choice Flex is non-refundable, so you won’t get that part back. If you cancel within 48 hours of travel, normal T&Cs apply.

First Choice Flex can be added to most of our holidays. At the moment, you can’t apply it to flight-free holidays, hotel-only bookings or trips that depart within the next 72 hours.

Adding First Choice Flex is super easy – pick your perfect holiday then add First Choice Flex to your booking on the options page before you confirm and pay. If you’re making your booking with a member of our lovely team, they’ll be able to add it on for you. Remember to include it when you book, as you can’t add it on later.
