Katie Warner, 31, had her trip to Scotland cancelled by Covid - but the budget airline refused to issue a refund
EasyJet has apologised to a terminally ill mum after they initially refused to refund her because she could not fly during chemotherapy. Katie Warner, 31, who has brain cancer, was wished a "speedy recovery" by the airline who previously told her issuing her a refund for her cancelled flights "would not be fair on other passengers".
However, she was informed by easyJet that she was still not able to receive a full refund for her trip despite her tragic circumstances and would be given a voucher. When the mum finally tried to use the voucher for a family holiday, she was told that it had expired and she would not be receiving her money back.
She continued: "In December, I was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer, the doctor told me ‘I had too many brain tumours to count’. As a family, we decided to book to go to Poland in January and have a fantastic time. But when my brother tried to use the voucher, [easyJet] said 'no' and that the voucher had expired."
