My brother flew out to Cyprus yesterday - I’m sure he’ll not be devastated if he’s stuck out there fur a few weeks in the sun

Sit tight and wait. If needed, travel guidance will come out for the govt.

PurpleLovecats · 28/02/2026 16:32

Nah don’t be daft. I remember last year people were posting on here cancelling trips to Cyprus and my daughter was out there merrily sending me pictures and it was fine!

if it is unsafe to go, they’ll let you know.

Ridiculous

It's the best part of 1200 miles from Cyprus to Tehran. Do you expect somebody to avoid travelling to Leicester from Newcastle because there's a volcano erupting outside Reykjavik or problems with rush hour traffic in Moscow?

It's about 240 to Israel (please try and use autocorrect if you aren't able to spell the country's name). Best cancel that Leicester visit if Plymouth Argyle are playing at home and getting a bit rowdy next week, too.

No. We went last year when the bombs could be seen flying across to each other but it was fine (for us). We didn’t see any bombs and had a lovely holiday. Cyprus is gorgeous

Yikes. I’m going to Jordan in a few weeks and am not planning on cancelling.

If you cancel you will lose your money.
Just wait.
If the FCO put out advice advising against non-essential travel the company will refund you.

Going to Cyprus too and no not cancelling

Thechaseison71 · 28/02/2026 16:24

Id nor even consider cancelling. Just why? Months away yet and anything could happen

Sassylovesbooks · 28/02/2026 16:23

No. Just wait and see.

BMW6 · 28/02/2026 16:22

No! Wait and see!

ThatThisThatYou · 28/02/2026 16:22

That’s weeks away! I’d just sit tight for now

I cancelled one April last year same reasons. Rebooked for turkey had fab time. Apparently pilots could see rockets as they were landing in Cyprus!
