- 1. Can I change the destination / holiday package that I originally booked for?
One has the leeway to confirm/change their holiday destination. Ideally the departure date will be after 30 days post transfer of funds from respective banks to Thomas Cook or/and submission of necessary documents for Visa processing in case of International holidays, whichever happens last.
