However customers who have booked flights and holidays with various airlines are finding it incredibly difficult to secure cash refunds.
Tui, the UK's biggest tour operator, has extended the suspension of its holidays for subsequent six weeks.
The company said all trips would be cancelled up to and including June 11, and warned customers wanting cash refunds that its call centres are 'incredibly busy'.
It had previously suspended its operations up to May 14.
