Not sure if this is known but today I tried to amend my tunnel booking which had to be changed due to FCO advice of non essential travel to France back in September this year.
The original booking was from Folkstone to Calais, however I wanted to change direction (Calais to Folkstone) and use it in June 2021 to return from our trip to Spain. We have a booking in place which was carried over from 2020 with BF Portsmouth to Bilbao.
However it would appear that Eurotunnel does not allow you to change direction of your booking. I've had a long conversation with the people at Eurotunnel and they have no explanation as to why this is not allowed, its just not.
We will now have to reconsider our trip (again) for 2021 and change to going out on the tunnel and possibly coming home via Caen - Portsmouth. The ferry company is far more amenable to making a change. This is not how we wanted to do the trip but its either that or write off the cost of the tunnel crossing.
Does anyone else know about this rule. The CAMC representative certainly didn't, he was as baffled as me as to why this is not allowed.
So folks you have been warned.
