Latest Travel Updates

It has been brought to our attention that a small number of individuals in select Eastern Mediterranean resorts have been falsely impersonating reputable online travel agencies, including On the Beach. These individuals often wear On the Beach branded t-shirts and claim to be in-resort holiday representatives working on our behalf.

On the Beach is an online travel agency, which means that we don’t have high street stores or any in-resort reps – which is one of the reasons we’re able to keep our costs so low. We are continuing to monitor the situation with our resort partners, and provide an in-resort support team during office hours and a 24/7 support service for emergencies

All electronic devices larger than mobile phones should be carried in hold luggage when travelling from Turkey, Egypt, Morocco or Tunisia. For full information about luggage restrictions for UK airports, visit gov.uk.

We recommend checking each airlines websites for the latest information.

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office have updated their advice for travel to Egypt and are advising against all but essential travel by air to or from Sharm el Sheikh Airport while they investigate security arrangements at the airport.

With the on-going situation for travel to and from Sharm el Sheikh, we wanted to update our customers. Each airline has a slightly different cancellation policy and dates that their flights are cancelled up to; here's a summary for each airline:

Thomson - flights are cancelled up to and including the 30th September, 2017.

Thomas Cook - all flights are cancelled for the foreseeable future.

*Please note that this information is subject to change as and when the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and/or airlines update their policies.

We will continue to update this page as soon as there is further information from our airline partners or the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.

For customers who are due to fly to Sharm el Sheikh and are paying by our low deposit scheme: If your flight is due to fly after the latest cancellation dates, at this moment (and until further communications from the FCO and/or airlines), your holiday is due to take place as planned. The payments, as agreed in your holiday payment schedule, will still need to be made. If you want to check the payment schedule, the details are available in either your Booking Confirmation email (sent to you shortly after you booked with us) or in your Manage Your Booking account. If the advice for travel to Sharm El Sheikh and your holiday is later cancelled, you will be due a refund and it will be processed as per the information below.

Please note that cancellations and/or refunds can only be issued once your outbound flight (e.g. from the UK to Sharm el Sheikh) and inbound flight (e.g. from Sharm el Sheikh to UK) have both been cancelled by the airline(s). If you are due to fly on different airlines, please refer to the individual airline cancellation policy and date.

If you are due a refund, we will send you an email with all the information you need to collect it from your Manage Your Booking. Please bear with us as we process these refunds. We're working through them as quickly as we can so that you can make alternative arrangements. We apologise for any disruption.

If you are unsure who you are flying with, you can check in your Manage Your Booking account. You'll need your Lead Passenger's surname and Order number(s) - starting with MYB, which will be on your original email confirmation.
