Yes, I knew about them not allowing flights in till at least the 15th. It wasn't long ago they were allowing flights from the 1st, but looked at our present infection rate & got concerned. But, again this could be extended past the 15th, there's no guarantee. It's a 'live' situation changing almost daily. You can't make any definite plans. Regards travel insurance, I should be okay there, I took out an annual policy before Corona kicked off. | |||

"whats it going to be like when you get to your hotel. the social distancing.spa conditions. restaurants ?? cost of insurance.what if you become ill where do you stay ???? how do you get home etc " I think these places are geared up for this, it will just be a different experience. There are insurance companies that will cover you,just check online | |||

"whats it going to be like when you get to your hotel. the social distancing.spa conditions. restaurants ?? cost of insurance.what if you become ill where do you stay ???? how do you get home etc " The hotel will be bliss. I've always liked personal space, other people following suit works in out favour. I'll visit restaurants with my offspring and sit with them, as I normally would. I have annual world wide travel insurance with my bank account. I upgraded it many years ago when I started travelling as a solo adult with my children. The premium or coverage hasn't changed. The spa in my destination has ample space so I expect the staff to wear face shields but no other world altering changes. If I become ill, or one of my offspring do, we will stay in our room, hydrate and take paracetamol (if appropriate) it's All inclusive, I'm sure the staff will bring some food up to our door so we don't starve or I'll fork out for room service. I plan to get on the plane to come home, with our face coverings, pyjamas and slippers. I should probably add I don't drink alcohol so I'm not usually in some crowded bar/club with thousands of Brits or d*unks anyway | |||

"Don't see the point going abroad for sun in the UK summer. We have great countryside here and only a few months of the year when the weather is great. So we'll be staying UK breaks until at least October and then we'll see how the travel looks" If we hadn’t booked our holiday months ago (pre-coronavirus), we would have stayed here as well. If only we could book a villa in the British countryside somewhere with an outdoor hot tub... | |||

"..I think I'll not sit cheek to jowl on a plane to sit in my room as the facilities are limited. Exactly this " We have a place over in Spain so a little different than staying in a hotel but I can’t see people being tied to their rooms in a hotel abroad as they won’t be in this country and kind of think there will be more facilities to use abroad than the UK, just need to stay safe on the plane which I imagine will be no different than going to a pub/restaurant for a few hours or into a shopping centre or using public transport in this country. | |||

"Not just about ‘staying safe in the plane’ as you need to consider both the outward and return flights. Being in bars/restaurants at your destination with a whole mix of other nationalities, some who may be more relaxed than yourself about wearing masks. No thank you, I’d prefer to keep close to home for the foreseeable future." Pretty much my thinking. Four of us go away each year either in January or September. We're in our 50s/60s, three of us with medical conditions. We rent a four bed, four bath villa and hire a car. As we travel off season and don't head for popular tourist destinations, social distancing whilst there wouldn't be a problem...it's the getting there! | |||

"Booked for 2 sites for the Motorhome.... not heading across the channel now until at least December,even though the motorhome is self contained....after seeing the Pubs and lack of respect for the guidelines yesterday...I fear for the worst" Are you sure the footage that you saw was of yesterday as the real reports say otherwise.

We are now trapped and I’d like to share our experience to other people. I understand the security concerns to protect the local people, but they should inform about all possible scenarios in advance. We thought everything is fine, if you can leave the airport directly but that’s sadly not true. Country, resort, hotel ? Crete. It’s all over TA on the forums. The guy who wrote this arrived in Hersonissos with his family, now he’s been transported to a government facility/hotel In Heraklion where he’s having to quarantine. " I guess it MUST be true then lol | |||

Private medical will do their best to spend all the money they think you have access to. | |||

"I always go in winter.. its cheaper and better I think" Depends where you go..guaranteed winter sun is more expensive during those months. Better in what way? Many resorts close their restaurants & bars during the winter. | |||

"Will be on a cruise ship at the end of the month ...or not. Are the Foreign office allowing us to go on cruises?" Current FO advice is not to holiday on any cruise ship. If you decide to go against official advice you won't be insured and will probably not receive any consular help if anything went tits up while you were there. | |||

"Off to Rhodes beginning of Aug,can't wait." I’m looking to go there, but, there’s talk of a second lockdown being imminent due to a spike in cases over the last 24 hrs. Greece averaged just 13 new infections a day throughout June. They’ve just had 60 in a day, 40 of which are imported. It’s touch and go as to whether they’ll extend the flight ban for U.K. nationals beyond the 15th July. Playing it by ear at the moment.. | |||

"I checked several insurance companies yesterday and all had pretty much the same thing to say You are not covered for cancellation due to Covid, so if you have local lockdown or actually contract Covid you're insurance won't refund your holiday unless you booked before March 2021 (ie before Covid) If you travel against the advice of the foreign office you're not covered for anyyhing they advise against travel so if you currently travel to the USA you're not covered if you catch Covid but you are ok if you fall and break a leg If you contract Covid on your holiday you're fully covered for treatment and repatriation for countries on the green list. Advice can change on a daily basis and you should check with your travel agent if in doubt and confirm with your insurer. Personally I think that if you don't have an existing annual policy it would be worthwhile taking the insurance offered by the travel agent or tour operator and if you have to claim it might make things easier because if you book by Jet2 and take their insurance then they know exactly what they are selling. All in my recent experience so do check for yourself but it could be totally different by the time you go. " Good info | |||

Yes, Greece have been very strict, I do wonder what will happen. They are randomly testing at the airports already , they may up that, in the circumstances. | |||

I wish they would test everyone at the airports. 20 minute results, people not allowed to travel if they test positive. Safer in theory than temperature checks. | |||

People are just grabbing onto anything that brings back a sense of normality so we feel that its unfair to berate them. | |||

Very fucking sad" You don't know anyone else's circumstances and have no right to judge. A lot of us have worked all the way through lockdown, some with vulnerable people so having to miss even socially distanced visits to family and friends. It's not unreasonable for people to want to take a break and get a change of scenery, whilst supporting the local economies of tourist areas which will otherwise suffer. | |||

"Just booked a long weekend in Prague , looking to book another in italy, can’t decide between Verona, Bologna or Perugia." Verona is a beautiful city and only an hour or so on the (surprisingly punctual) train to Venice or even closer to Lake Garda. We have been many times and still find something new to see and do. Hopefully we will be in Venice for a week in September. | |||
