Anyone taking a gamble and booking 2021 holidays ?

[Lardlizard]

If so where are you taking a gamble on ?

We’ve put a small deposit down for a March ski holiday in France. It’s where we were supposed to go this year. Let’s see 🤷‍♀️

We were just talking about this today. I want to go to specific hotel that I can’t seem to find as a package so am considering taking the risk of booking it

Same here, ski holiday in Austria in January.

We, like many others, looking at the prices 😳, transferred 2020 holiday over to 2021 to make sure we didn't lose deposits / flights completely.

Exact copy so flying from Gatwick for 2 weeks in static caravan on fab campsite on the Italian Lakes.

DC and I are now on 135 day streak learning Italian thanks to lockdown so we'll be like bloody natives by then if it does go ahead

We also moved this year's holiday to the same time in August 2021. Keeping our fingers crossed we will be able to go. Really missed sipping my lemoncello whilst gazing at Versuvius this year 😢

No as I’ve just had my December holiday cancelled. Once we have got over Xmas I would consider booking though.

We've rebooked a holiday to Portugal for the end of May next year. To be honest I think things will be relatively normal next summer simply because the alternative is something pretty close to economic collapse.

Booked the Italian lakes for next summer but own transport (either car or bike not sure yet). We'll take the tunnel so unless Europe is in full lockdown we will go (can wfh so quarantine isn't a big deal)

Fusion what campsite is the static van on and does it have air con ?
I wouldn’t mind Going to this area as we want to visit gardaland

Looking to book as have flight vouchers to use. Thinking AI in Portugal at Easter. Have found a hotel that for £200 extra (for four) would let us cancel up to a week before we go.

We had an amazing time in France (drove, self catering, before quarantine hit) this year so I am going to ride my luck (with precautions!).

I already had one booked for February before coronavirus arrived. I've also transferred this year's to next year. Bahamas and Madeira.

Looking at the Maldives for Easter, booking as soon as they get added to the exception list so at least my insurance would cover.
Hopefully Majorca next Aug if allowed by then, that will be a relatively last minute booking.

Who did you book the Bahamas with?

I’m not going to risk going away until Easter at the earliest I think. I’ll see how winter goes.

Booked flights and a villa for Greek islands jn August next year. Can cancel the villa up to a month beforehand. Desperately wanted something to look forward to and glad we did it.... fingers crossed.

Transferred this year's flights to a different country next year in August. Booked a villa but can cancel up till the end of May.

I was determined not to book anything then realised how much I need something to look forward to so have booked a very cheap package holiday for June. It was only a £60 pp deposit and I don't have to pay remainder until April. I weighed up that I could afford to lose £180 if things were still as bad. I won't be paying the balance until the very last day though.

Not yet. It was a pain waiting on this years cancellation and refund. Happy to wait until travelling isnt stressful with possible last minute cancellation, changes or quarantine

Seems liek most peopel have just transferred this years holiday rather than biking something. A new if you know what I mean

I've booked for March but it's a UK holiday so feel like it might be a safer bet

DD2 was getting married in the UK in June this year, and we had booked a beautiful big country house for the weekend where family could stay and local friends/relatives could visit.

That was all off, obv, & luckily we were able to rebook at no loss or increase for the same weekend next year.

That’s as far as we’ve got

We are going to Del Garda village and yes the caravan has air con

Not yet. Lost money this year and can't take the risk again. Will wait and see. Plus I am worried about our jobs, so keeping things frugal atm.

Should be in Greece at the moment but that was cancelled by Tui. Got our money back and we have rebooked the same holiday for next year.
