As the world begins to open its doors, our Travelbound team are doing everything they can to ensure schools can book, travel and explore with confidence. Our booking conditions allow for new bookings to benefit from even more peace of mind when planning their next educational experience.

Providing Schools with Peace of Mind
As a leading name in educational travel, we have provided support to all our groups through the COVID-19 pandemic along with providing refunds for those groups whose trips could no longer take place due to the FCDO advice. In addition, we have tailored our booking conditions to continue to provide memorable travel experiences without compromising safety and financial security.

Frequently Asked Questions
We have adapted our booking conditions to meet the evolving situation caused by COVID-19 and its impact on a global scale. Our flexibility allows Group Leaders, their schools and students to receive a full refund for their booking due to advice from the Department for Education or the FCDO.
The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) – the UN body responsible for aviation – has set out comprehensive recommendations for airlines and airports, intended to minimise infection risks at every stage of the journey. From check-in to baggage collection, airlines will be focused on encouraging passengers to maintain distancing wherever possible while there will also be enhanced and frequent deep cleaning of the cabin itself as stated by the International Air Transport Association (Iata).
As with all our accommodation options, stringent health and safety conditions must be met by our chosen partners. Many of our preferred accommodation options have sought and implemented strategies to increase the frequency of cleaning while limiting the day-to-day impact on schools and students.
As Group Leader, you will have 24/7 phone support with a member of our Travelbound team while you are away. Steps are in place which will guide Group Leaders should a member of the group become unwell while away.
