Normal call centre volume is about 30,000 calls per day. At present it is somewhere between 300,000 and 1,000,000. The travel shops are still closed so they cannot help out. The call centres are open but unable to accommodate the same number of workers. The number of people able to work at home is ramping up all the time. Online bookings are easier to deal with and an automatic process for the issue of vouchers and cash refunds if required has been developed. Holidays booked through the shops are more difficult to deal with. So far over one million bookings have been affected. Holidays until 18th June have been cancelled and in time I am sure this date will be pushed back. However, each week that date is pushed back and we approach peak season the number of holidays affected will increase massively and the company is probably just trying to manage the workload. It will all work out in the end.
