"The cruise ship Industry is in great danger as well"
Also the shops in ports such as Greenock and Invergordon where they dock, and the coach companies who transport the passengers. Each year Scotland gains £108 million from the cruise industry. Zero since March. |

"Yes, health has to take priority over travel, but airlines were already on the brink
Will Ryanair, jet2, easyJet etc pull the plug on the UK or worse go into administration ?"
I suspect not the end of it. But it will hopefully lead to more responsible travel at an appropriate cost. Travel is wonderful but its become an every day experience rather than a luxury and perhaps less travel is a good thing in the long run. |

I believe most will survive, although with much reduced route availability 
I won't fly ryan air. I don't even price check to include them.
I do think Emirates will capitalise here in the longer term, I have nothing against Emirates though. (I've got 5 flights booked with them in December)
I do think the prices and incentive tui and such, have on offer right now won't last though, it is silly cheap 
I won't stop travelling, I'll obviously slow down if prices rise massively |

You dont need to price check Ryanair, all the other airlines do it for you it's called competitive pricing.
If they aren't there then guess what ? |

P&O are suspended till October as well, its looking pretty grim for all involved |

If Emirates are doing it for me  Seriously though, I still won't use ryan air.
Even if I'm looking for a cheap European get away I untick any ryan air option in searches.
Predominantly my flights are to Dubai and out or over to the U.S (Kenya/Gambi is next on the list) so unless Ryan air expanded recently they don't come up on my radar  |

Yes it was supposed to go last week but delayed to positive crew tests. German Aida cruises start test cruising in August going to only german ports as long as their crew stop testing positive, will P&O and cunard do only uk ports I wonder if they decide to test sail |

This just the beginning. Soon it will be France, Germany, Italy, Belgium. Pretty soon the whole of Europe will be a 2 week quarantine zone. Then Dom Cummings will slide out from behind the scenes and openly display his control over BoJo, announcing that he is now sole dictator over the Democratic People's Republic of Lesser America, with Donald "The Magnificent" Trump nodding sagely in the background. Bend down and worship the true leaders of the free world...mwahhhhh ha ha ha ha.

I got 2 holidays booked and I feel I may lose out.
If both holidays get cancelled I will have lost £6,000
Not booking anything more until summer next year at the earliest even if a cheap deal comes up.

Aye that will be right.
Let's stop the working class from enjoying holidays abroad.
Maybe you want a return to Victorian times when only the rich traveled the world .
Please sir can I have some ffs |

I am not an idiot.

Hopefully it will be lifted for the canarys by December. |

If a major part of the industry is trashed, it won't recover easily and it will cost us all dearly. It's not just about us leaving the UK to travel but also the income the UK gains normally from tourism inwards. £billions.
Thousands of people are also employed here in the industry, so we do have a responsibility to help it to survive and stay away from mere survival |

Comeuppance for the travel industry for helping spread the virus it seems.
Acted too slowly. At least the cruisers made an attempt with quarantine ships.
Only after they did a few drop offs to let passengers mingle with unsupecting locals. The tourist became the perfect spreader for the virus.

Can relate, Blackpool is marmite but always a great bit of escapism  More valuable to us now than ever as its accesible |

I think the ability of Joe soaps like us to travel the world will be impacted. Foreign holidays will be every few years if the industry collapses...which it might. |

They will survive , as with retail the ones failing had bad business models it was only a matter of time.
Agreed emirates will capitalise, I’ve been flying economy with them and if you book a twin seat in the nice bit upstairs it’s as good as VA/BA Prem and 1/3 of the price plus they fly from Birmingham. The only downside is they don’t have the lounges or rewards of VA/BA.
There’s no need to use Ryan Air unless you’re on a majorly tight budget , for an extra £30 you can have a proper flight with Norwigen or KLM or something like that. Even Wizz or Easy Jet is better, Ryan Air have lost the plot in recent years. |

I automatically just add the £69 per seat when I look at Emirates economy now  25k is my favourite |

Agree I would never fly Ryanair given a choice, but the reason a decent flight is 30 more is because they are competing against Ryanair.
Ryanair gone means the others out prices up simple |

some of us don't have a choice.. for me most of my destinations would involve a lot more expense if I didnt use Ryan air.. and a lot more travel. Flying from east midlands to Italy I'm somewhat limited. Saying that the only time I've had an issue with a flight was on a Thomas cook one last year .
If going from London I tend to fly Alitalia x |

Have you actually checked on Skyscanner.net ? You might be surprised.
Plus Birmingham, Manchester even stansted and luton are all easy to get with public transport you don’t have to use EMids. Only Gatwick and Heathrow are a trek.
For Italy Jet2.com fly Pisa and Verona from Notts and easy hey do Naples from Birmingham. |

if I go to Birmingham or Manchester it adds a lot more to my flights. Stansted is 2 hours away. I can get a family to drop me at east mids. Plus it's not like I'm travelling luxury if I go from other places. I only ever take hand luggage too. In fact next trip it's a rucksack only. So why should I pay more than i have to. I got to milan for 9.99 last time I went. |
