Are we just right to assume they'll all be cancelled?

I'm booked to go to Greece end July first week Aug.

Two weeks in France at the start of July. I think we’ll get to go.

And that thought is all that is holding me together right now.

We were going to Disneyland Paris for my Mum's 60th. I assume it will be cancelled and aren't bothering ordering passports now.

BA flights and hotel booked and fully paid for Mallorca in July. I can't cancel the BA flights or I'll lose the money, and our travel insurance doesn't cover the Covid-19 pandemic.

I don't know what to do, as the hotel is now closed. I feel totally gutted. My only hope is that we can claim it back on our credit card under section 75.

Center parcs break moved from tomorrow to September but I'm not starting to worry we won't be allowed to go.
Butlins in May is definitely off, we are just waiting for them to cancel instead of us so we get a full refund instead of partial

Center Parcs in June for us. It's all paid for. I'm just waiting for them to get in touch to tell me to rebook or get a refund Sad

We're also due to go to Greece end July, the next bit of the deposit is due 1st April but hoping Tui will be in touch before then.

We have a once in a lifetime, 3 generation family safari holiday booked for end of July. I’m assuming it won’t go ahead, but won’t lose any more money on it until 5th June, so holding off cancelling in the expectation that FCO will extend the travel ban, therefore allowing us to claim on insurance.
I will rebook for next year, assuming that this is settling down by then, that we don’t get priced out, and that elderly MIL remains well enough for long haul travel. Which written down, is an awful lot of assumptions Sad.

If the worst that befalls us in this pandemic is a cancelled holiday, I will be very grateful. But I’m sad for DS, who was so excited to go, and for MIL, for whom safari has been a lifelong dream.

Got French holiday planned for August. 20 people going. Paid deposit and next payment due. Will keep paying.
Once government advises on travel then will have options - if still UK lock down then can cancel and get full refund, if return to normal then will go on holiday.

We’ve 2 weeks in France at the end of August. I think we’ll be able to go. We’ve also got a few days in Amsterdam in May - which is looking very unlikely.

We’ve paid £500 deposit for two weeks in France. Self catering book direct With the owners. Hadn’t organised insurance as we hadn’t finalised travel dates which insurers needed. We were waiting for confirmation of staying with family on our way through France. Balance isn’t usually asked for until end June / beginning of July but I actually think it won’t happen and we’ve lost that £500 deposit.

A week in Wales beginning of July, quite isolated.
