Hi, we purchased some flight tickets with KLM online using a Halifax debit card. The total was £2,117
We had to cancel our flights of our own accord because the destination (Iran) has UK travel restrictions on the foreign office website - advising against all but essential travel to Iran.
We were scheduled to fly yesterday (18th December 2011)
We stand to lose the whole amount because KLM won't cough up saying that the flight is still operable and no travel restrictions are in place for neither their company nor Dutch passengers.
Would I be able to claim this money back from Halifax?
Thanks,
