Holidaymakers beware! This Friday, “Rip Off Britain” returns to BBC One, tackling the travel nightmares that can turn dream vacations into debacles. From gastric infections to refund refusals and costly booking errors, the team explores the pitfalls that can plague unsuspecting travelers.
This episode examines a wave of gastric infections suffered by holidaymakers in Cape Verde, highlighting a law firm currently handling claims related to these illnesses. For those considering a trip to the islands, this segment might offer some food for thought (pun reluctantly intended).
Meanwhile, closer to home, the ever-vigilant Gloria Hunniford, Julia Somerville, and Louise Minchin take up the cases of customers denied refunds after the death of loved ones, a situation that underscores the often-inflexible policies of some travel companies. And in a cautionary tale for those booking their own travel online, the team investigates a booking error that left one unlucky passenger £4,000 out of pocket.
Tune in to BBC One this Friday, April 25th at 9:30 AM GMT for a dose of consumer advocacy.
