What do you think my chances are of going abroad at May half term ?

EasyJet flights ?

We had an email yesterday cancelling our flight booked for 25th May to Spain. I reckon you'll hear soon.

You would not want to go to Spain for months. We cant go out at all unless food or drugs...by ourselves, one to a car. No exercise etc . I'm worried about a holiday departing 15 th December. I wouldn't book anything , anywhere until it's all been declared safe....think 12 to 18 months.

Zero

I am optimistic that UK holidays may go ahead in the summer holidays. But not holding my breath!
Overseas, unlikely before next winter.

I think flights will start up, but not for holidays.

I don’t think July/August holidays will even happen. My Mother has one booked for July and I’ve told her it’ll probably be cancelled but she doesn’t believe me.

Dh wants to book a long haul trip in Oct, as thinks we should book it now, because he thinks holidays will be the first thing that people rush to book

That might be the case, but it's a hell of a risk with the money. A lot of the tour operators are dragging their feet over refunds because they're probably struggling with cashflow.

Does he really want to commit to thousands of pounds for a holiday that you've no idea whether or not will happen and then have to hope they'll give you your money back if it doesn't? You should get your holiday or your money back eventually but what if something like a job loss happens in the meantime and you need the money to buy food, pay bills etc?

Lol

Zero.

It’s not Spain it’s Switzerland

They must be tearing their hair out with people ringing up asking the same stupid questions despite being asked not to.

OP you knew they were asking you not to ring but ploughed away anyway. That's why other people that need to can't get through!

My flights home to Ireland in May half term have been cancelled.

Probably got more chance of an alien invasion.

We have 2 holidays booked in July and October.
Hoping they will be cancelled by the airlines so we can get refunds.
I am tentatively hoping that we will be able to travel in 2021 but won’t book anything unless we have to do a rebook rather than a cancel of our 2020 holidays.
I am optimistic of a vaccine by this time next year.

What do you think my chances are of going abroad at May half term ?

😅😅😅

Do you have your own plane?

Zero would be a high estimate of probability

We've been refunded for an overseas school trip in September without actually asking, the travel company cancelled it. May or summer aren't looking likely.

You'll be lucky if you're able to go to Droitwich in May, let alone abroad

What a funny place to choose, am I missing an in joke ?

0%.

I'm only giving myself a 10% chance of going abroad in October & it think that's an extremely optimistic % but it gives me something to think about. I'm resigned to the fact that I won't be going away in July.

More chance of winning the lottery without a ticket.

Sorry OP

Which parent are you living on op Cos on the one I'm living on there's a world-wise lockdown because of the pandemic - you not heard of it yet on your planet?

Absolutely zero.

I was hoping to get to Devon for whit half term. But pretty sure it won't be allowed.
Not that confident about London in late July either.

We have already had a refund for our May half term holiday. Nothing is going to change that significantly in a month.
For once my procrastination has served me well. I didn't get round to booking anything for the Summer. I would love it if we were able to visit our family in Scotland in the Summer holidays but realistically even that is unlikely. I will be more than happy if the situation has improved to the point that we can go on local days out by then.

Well I’m not actually hoping it goes ahead, hence me cancelling the accommodation ages ago, just ideally live the cost of the flights returned
