With the current situation in the Middle East not improving and jet fuel set to run out in 6 weeks, what do you think are the chances of your summer holidays proceeding?

Family member has a significant event booked in Europe in September and I’m starting to wonder if even that will go ahead.

We have our first foreign holiday booked since 2019 so of course it’s going to get bloody cancelled. We have until mid day to cancel the hotel, hoping the situation is clearer by then.

Same here. Except it's been since 2014 for us (youngest has never been on a plane)

We had a holiday cancelled when Thomas Cook went bust, then another cancelled due to Covid so I'm not holding out much hope.

I'm just doing a couple of beach day trips like most other summers so my plans aren't changing this year.

Lake District probably fine.

Zurich - hmm.

I'm not thinking our holiday is likely to be cancelled. But holidays were cancelled in COVID and it wasn't the end of the word, so what will be will be.
