Anyone cancelled due to Covid?

Should have been in Chicago and Indiana this week.

Monies transferred back into the bank this morning by Jet2. Lost £120 deposit because we cancelled before the 70 day deadline but no problem.
Respect to Jet2, theyve been efficient, havnt put up barriers, played silly games or delay tactics. We've used them before, we'll use them again, unlike TUI, a complete shower, the last two times we used them, nothing but disappointment and aggro.

Interesting comments from Martin Lewis re refunds.
A) in most standard cases you are entitled to a full refund.
B) if you accept a voucher and then the company goes bust it is unlikely that you will be covered by ABTA or by your credit card.
My thoughts are.....get your money back and think about a holiday when this lot is over. Money back voucher plus 20% is worth zilch if they go bust on you.

It's more complicated than that. See https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/n...ravel-help-and-your-rights/#voucherprotection

I realise that (to some extent).....I was merely advising fellow CCrs to be careful about accepting vouchers as they could turn out to be worthless.

Had to laugh at this in our local rag, should be better quoted for Ryanair. Read it carefully.

Hold onto your flight

EasyJet advises review their lying program every seven days and says customers should wait until that time frame to be able to choose all available options given to them. If your flight is not cancelled we are unable to process any refund requests.

I should be just getting on a ferry in Hull right now. Would have been an interesting ride there - with today's 50mph tail wind!
Sad face.

We would have been on our way back from Turkey, if I have the dates right.

Picked up a bike from Ellis Briggs (this morning) and have never cycled uphill so fast in my life.

I think the travel industry pressure will build along with doubts that the lockdown was a the right path to take. I'd be surprised if I am not cycling across Spain this autumn.

Not sure that European countries are going to want plague ridden Brits setting off their second wave.
We could probably set up one of these “air corridors “ and all go holiday in Sweden though!

The Welsh don't want us

The Welsh don't want us

No hotels, guest houses, holiday lets, campsites, caravan sites in the UK want you currently. Other than that you'll be fine.

The Welsh don't even want the Welsh on holiday at the moment, until the roolz relax.

We'll see...........I think I'll be there, a lot more data will be available by that time regarding a "second wave".

I’m hoping so too. I have the remnants of a summer holiday in Germany/Austria/Italy booked. Though bits of my summer holiday have already cancelled on us, it would be great if we can salvage some of it.

Me too, had a load of plans for 2020 and had carried holidays forward and booked unpaid leave. Yep, if I can salvage a bit then it'd be great.
