Yeah, 2 so far. Went to New York mid March just before the world went crazy. Had a lucky escape by the sounds of it.

Always book late anyway so nothing booked, but I think that I will end up cancelling the week I have booked for the end of May.

Hoping to make the trip booked for mid June, but it's not looking good.

Was meant to be in Abu Dhabi and then Ibiza.

Have got two weeks in July planned but going to cancel when we get nearer and if the situation hasn’t changed.

They are still flying four flights a week to my sunshine bolt hole so it’s still possible.

Still looking to get refunds for the 2 we've missed out on. Insurance are saying they won't if we get offered a voucher from the companies. Just not sure we want to travel, or how soon we can travel. Think we'd prefer a refund tbh.

We had spent 6 of the previous 12 weeks before lockdown away. Glad we had opportunity while we did and we were lucky that we got home right at the end of feb so didn’t have any issues getting home etc

Got an itchy finger to book some more trips for this summer but like everyone just having to hang fire right now. Saying that seen some good flight prices for Xmas so may book that while the deal is there

Hi is there a reason you do that, does it work out more cheaper for you or just more flexible?

Have just always done it. We don’t book package holidays as we like to travel in business class. We book the flight with the airline that has the best service/deal and then choose the hotels we want to stay at.

BA removed the option to take a flight refund off their website. It would only allow you a voucher. And then told people not to call unless you were flying within 72 hours. So I had to call and spend about 2 hours on the phone to get the refund i was legally entitled to. I thought that was a little bit of foul play. I understand the refunds are bleeding out their cash flow and people are being encouraged to take a voucher to help the airlines. But I’m sorry, these are the same airlines that don’t give a shit if you want to cancel a previously booked flight usually and refuse to refund. Yet all of a sudden I’m meant to be trying to help THEIR cash reserves ?!? £7500 back in my account rather than theirs.

Yeah bit of a pain the Russian visas as u have to physically go to an office and submit biometric etc. Think u would need 4 weeks minimum to allow yourself to obtain the visa. Interesting city though, worth the effort

Good to see so many have rescheduled their holiday! So much stuff over the media saying people are cancelling and will cause places to go bust! I'm due to go away mid July but my travel company are doing it on a 2 week basis so will be a while before I can reschedule!

My brother is also due to get married abroad in September, no idea what will happen with that as it's cost them a lot of money!
