I was meant to be going to Fuerteventura at the start of July but doubt it will go ahead but still not heard anything from Jet 2, anyone else in a similar situation?

They wont cancel mate till last minute, then I might be wrong but they are trying to band out vouchers...might be worth you cancelling yourself at losing the booking fee for cash.

We were due to fly out to GC earlier this week with Jet2. They cancelled the flights and did refund the full cost at our request. We have now re-booked for January next year. Using a credit card.

By the sounds of your experiences to date I’m resigned to the fact that it will soon be cancelled. I reckon even if travel restrictions were lifted I really wouldn’t be to keen to travel with my kids and parents. Roll on 2021!

Keep safe

Do employers have to allow you to carry your 2020 holiday entitlement into 2021 - I am sure that has been mentioned recently

"Do employers have to allow you to carry your 2020 holiday entitlement into 2021 - I am sure that has been mentioned recently "

If you’re furloughed you’ll still accrue holidays as normal. If you’re due on holiday whilst furloughed you’ll still be on holiday

If you’re currently working you will still need to take your holidays.

this is to prevent a backlog of holiday entitlement building up.

Some employers may allow carry over to next year.

This is how my employer are dealing with holidays.

Usually go on holiday May/June time, so that's obviously shelved this year, so it looks as if it'll be Christmas/New Year before I get away!

One benefit is that I have never been able to book Florida any further forward than 1 and a half years in advance. Just ready to book up for October 2022 at really good prices.

Hoping to hit Malta later in the year too. I’m in a Kik group and have a couple of friends over there and they still have the 14day isolation for anyone returning home so it’s not looking likely unfortunately

glasgow west

buy a tent or a motor home as that might be the only type of holiday that you can get .

hotels and hostels ect. might stay closed until the end of the year if they survive.

camp sites might open as they can social distance better but as for going abroad that looks like a no go till next year

The tax man has allowed it (holidays are technically a staff benefit) but its up to companies wether they want to offer you that flexibility. I know my company are encouraging people still to take holidays so we don't app have 4 weeks to take at once when we get back to the office

We are actually quite happy our holiday will be cancelled. Meant to be spending two weeks in Tunisia at the end of June but we really just can’t be arsed now.

Getting married next year so the £4k, if and when we get it back, can go to that instead.

Hope everyone is keeping well

I was suppossed to be going to china last August but the unrest in the area meant i had to cancel a couple of weeks before i was supposed to leave & lost most of my flight money. The day i was meant to fly there were riots in hongkong airport so i wouldnt have got anyway. This year im meant to be going to gran canaria. I doubt that will be going ahead. I feel like a jinx
