Vaccination Update from ABD

[CaliforniaGirl09]

So trips to Japan into early June, 2022, have been officially cancelled already? That's good to know. Their web site still shows May 15 as an upcoming trip, but that's something I guess they just didn't update yet. We're really on edge for what to do about money we have down on October, 2022. When we called ABD a few months ago, and they were not going to give us a refund. Maybe it's time for another call. We don't even care if they hold the money for a future trip, but at this point, we'd prefer to not have to make very expensive last-minute arrangements to travel to Asia in the event they open their borders and ABD 'forces' a trip in with reduced experiences. Thanks for this info - it's helpful.

Sorry to pop in here, but is there a reason you can't take care of the vaccination requirement refund? From my understanding--maybe someone can clarify--all you need to do is tell them you'd like a refund due to the vaccine requirement for trips. You don't have to give them any medical information.

Just to follow-up that my deposit refund hit my credit card this morning for my July trip that I cancelled last week by leveraging the vaccination email. Very happy to have those funds back.

I got mine on the 22nd, so 6 days from when ABD agreed to the refund.

Thanks for the info in this thread. The experiences you shared helped us with our decision to request (and receive) a refund on our trip to Japan. Just don't see it happening, and now that we have a refund, we can regroup and begin the planning for 2023, or more likely 2024, when the world is a bit more back to normal - HOPEFULLY!! There is often a great deal of helpful info on these boards. This post was helpful to us.
