Is anybody due to be going away in the next couple of weeks? Are you still intending to go? Has the travel agent been in touch cancel or rebook? Are you worried about travelling during this current Corona virus outbreak? It's all a bit chaotic at the moment... |

"Glasgow in 2 weeks then Manchester the month after all being well. As long as the flights are on or there's not lockdown in place then I'll be going  "
Likewise Birmingham and then Manchester, unless a lockdown comes in which I personally can’t see happening |

Supposed to be going to morrocco in may. Accommodation can be cancelled so only looking at losing on flights if we cant go but to be honest if in 8 weeks time this is still going on then I think there will be more to worry about than the loss of a couple of hundred quid. Other than that not away till September by which point we'll all be well and truly fucked if restrictions are still in place

I’ve had to have that conversation with my lad and warn him CP might not happen in a couple of weeks or our two weeks away in July. All we can do is play it be ear. It’s heartbreaking |

I should have gone to Amsterdam Friday and came home at 16:40 this afternoon. Both myself and my other friend who also has a child decided that it was best not to go. The hotel has refunded us but not the flights. |

I’ve cancelled my Italy holiday - it will be at least 6 months before it’s even clear in Europe - it’s not worth the risk
** there will be NO VACCINE available for at least 12 months - it needs to go through stringent testing BEFORE it can be considered for human use. Especially on a mass scale ** |

We've cancelled booking a hol! Was about to book for Spain but holding off now. Work has stated they will be flexible with leave requests, so going to ask for the time off and either book something last minute or scrap the leave till later in the year. |

I wanted to go to Naples/Sorrento area in July. I’m hoping that could still be on.
I was due to go to Singapore but cancelled that because of Corona. Switching to perhaps Mexico when I get the word as to how long I can work from home.
I will go mad without Vit D |

I'm hoping mine will go ahead as it's not until August.
What are the odds of the same holiday being cancelled by Thomas cook going out of business and then after rebooking with Virgin a world wide virus cancelling it 
As with the TC situation, I'm fully covered by insurance and I have all the atol paperwork etc. |

See I’d have to cancel it altogether and think fate is trying to tell me not to go, but I’m suspicious as fuck! |

Then mid may Manchester, end of may Cornwall. Here's hoping |

going on a stag do to ibiza in june, had an email this week saying we'd get all our money back if it gets cancelled, I'm sure it will be fine in central Europe by then, but some "experts" are saying it won't hit Britain hard till june, so I don't see any country letting us fly into them any time soon |

One of my best friends actually said to me, if it gets cancelled again, to leave the funds in my bank account because the universe is telling me something!
We always go away for August. We need the sun and down time but watch this space  |

My kids are going to Dubai in may with their dad, don’t know what will happen there. My daughter is due to go to salou with the school in July, which I haven’t fully paid yet and school are saying keep on paying as it’s not until July , but £700 is a lot of money for me to loose. |

There have been a few other threads about Butlins recently. Is it still business as usual there? Was thinking about going with the kids in the big hols. |

I don't think the risk of travelling is necessarily any higher than staying local. The issue us more whether the operators will honour departures and whether countries will accept visitors from the UK.
Last week, there was a two week departure window. Today this has changed to 48-hours.
If you're flexible, it could work in your favour as some are offering desks to transfer to a later date rather than cancel. |

"Thailand in 12 days. So far I’m going x"
Dont forget your medical certificate to say you are corona free...of you will not even get on the departure plane. Then you will have to have a app on your phone to use every day while there,or report to a medical centre each day to be tested... |

I've decided to cancel my cruise and my trip to Prague is cancelled. It's so upsetting and I'm losing a lot of money but I would rather not risk it for the sake of enjoyment. I'll spoil myself with a great big Easter Egg  |

Hoping things settled by June. Paid for my lil one to go with my parents and brother to Florida, as have family over there and I can’t go because of my other daughters disability. It’s an extra surprise pressie for her birthday and she’s going to see the Star Wars stuff at Disney, so really hope she can go.
Holiday insurance in place anyway, but fingers crossed x

Yeah that’s what we are doing. Even the company we’ve booked with said the same thing |

This is going to keep rattling around the world until an effective vaccine is developed. Things might come a bit more normal within countries in a few months, but travel for foreign holidays is fucked until at least the end of the year. The only people going anywhere will be doing it for vital work purposes, and they are going to be held in quarantine every time they cross a country border. You remember how hard it used to be to take a dog to france and bring it back? That's going to be people.
Most of the airlines are going to go bust anyway. Sitting in a tin can in the air, squeezed up with 200 other people, breathing each others air for hours? It's a thing of the past folks. |

I’m supposed to be going to Longleat CP’s on 27th March. 8 of us going for a surprise 40th birthday celebration.
I’ve been quite confident that it’ll go ahead until today’s latest developments but I’m not so sure now  |

We were supposed to be going to Euricamp in the South of France for Easter. No word from Eurocamp yet, but given Euro borders will be closed I'm sure we'll hear soon enough.
We also were supposed to do a cruise from Venice, spoken to the company and can swap to any other cruise in th next 2 years so I'm happy with that. |

We were due to hit the Costa first week of April. We haven't cancelled but knew a couple of weeks ago we wouldn't be going. We have put it down to bad luck, written the cost off and have put our other holidays later in the year on hold too. We will just save up what we would of spent and maybe treat ourselves to a once in a lifetime holiday in a couple of years when the world is back to normal. |

"How long can they keep a country on lockdown before it ruins its economy? Spain relies on tourism, maybe it will lift for easter? Just a theory but if not its no big deal "
To be fair I didnt think China would peak and resume normal business as quickly as they have. I think easter is too soon to be saved but August/September is a real possibility. |
