What is everyone planning for 2021 holidays?

Exactly that, what are you planning for 2021 travels?

I'm intrigued as a friend mentioned they have booked several trips abroad from March onwards, which did surprise me.

Planning to stay in the UK. Perhaps I am being overcautious, but can't see us even being able to travel around the UK by Easter.

Just a week a cottage in Cornwall at the start of May booked that’s a carry over from last May. I’m not sure at the moment if that’ll go ahead and certainly not tempting fate by booking anything else at the moment

We have Center parcs in September (postponed from New Years). I'd like to take my DD to see her grandparents in Spain at some point as she hasn't seen them now for 18 months, but I won't be booking that until they are vaccinated and we are allowed to travel. We would normally do a package holiday too but I think we'll leave it this year more because of cost than worries it won't happen.

Booked Florida for November this year, thinking we'd be through this by then! Booked as a package so can move if needed.

Nothing planned but was hoping to do New York at some point for my 50th. I think I have to resign myself to the fact that it won’t be this year.

We’ve booked a week in Northumberland for the start of June which I hope will be okay. Was contemplating France for august but don’t think will bother. Will wait and hopefully get another uk break & plan overseas for next year.

Literally nothing. If it's allowed I'll go and see my Mum in France.

Our expectations have to change, I believe.

-Carried-over trip to Norfolk in May.

  • Carried over swimming weekend in Slovenia in July (fingers crossed).


  • 2 weeks in Pembrokeshire at the end of July.


  • I’ve managed to book October half term off for once. I’d really like to take DS to Rome then but would book it much closer to the time.


  • 2 weekends in England but accommodation only booked and easy to cancel.

Portugal booked for late July.

I don't see why we won't be able to go by then. A lot of people will be vaccinated, and holidays went ahead last summer so no reason to think they won't this summer.

We booked Disneyland Paris last March for May half term but doubtful.

Other than that, nothing. Similar to pp's, I'd usually have three or four planned by now.

Hoping things are a bit more back to normal by 2022 holiday wise.

Wales Haven site booked for Easter, big extended family week in Somerset in May, Florida booked for August. Everything crossed for us being able to do them and good weather for all three too.

Nothing. But keeping an open mind for two weeks somewhere warm in Oct/Nov.

IOW in June, worried its going to get cancelled. Cornwall in August, hopefully be able to go there as we went last year. Wales in October. I figure by October we could feasibly go abroad but my friends are going to Wales so I will go with the crowd.

I miss my overseas breaks but I'd rather get in on UK holidays whilst theres lots of availability for the nice family rooms rather than have to wait to book overseas and then not being able to go anywhere.

I do have an option to book abroad last minute at start of the school holidays but I might just go to the lakes for a few days then.

Have made no firm plans whatsoever. Tentatively going to stay in a friend’s Highland cottage in May. If it happens, it happens.

Would love to make it to Cyprus later this year.
We have a house there. Can't wait to get to the beach, drink in hand.

We have Lisbon flights on ice from last year for a girls trip. We were hoping for May but I'm now thinking September might be more feasible. I am currently eyeing up a trip to Italy but won't book anything just yet. Would love to see my family in U.K. but the way things are at the mo, it's the last place I want to go.

I have a holiday booked at Duinrell in August which was moved from last year. I really hope it goes ahead. It will be a nice treat for DD after she has finished her non-GCSEs (or whatever Ofqual are planning for Y11!) it's been a stressful year for her.

Tentatively planning Hawaii end of March for DH’s 40th but we live on the west coast of the US so not as big a deal as coming from the U.K.

Otherwise I imagine much like last year it will be the odd in-state weekend away and some camping

None. DD is 3 months (DS is 2) and 2bh unless its close I find going on holiday with small children more stress than it's worth so I suspect we wont actually bother this year.

Holiday to New York booked for December. Fingers crossed.

Booked cornwall for Easter and June and overseas holiday in August. All being well we will both be vaccinated by then.

I am hopeful! Much more hopeful than I was last year.

I would not be keen to travel before then, the stress would probably kill me if covid doesn't.

Booked a week in Cornwall in May and a week in September. We go to the same house every year and you have to book with the owner in the first week of Jan so we thought it was worth the risk. They'll refund us if we can't go due to restrictions.

Normally I wouldn't book anything as I'm flexible with when I take holiday from work, but I'm due in July so don't want to wind up with lots of holiday and not having used it to enjoy my last baby-free months, so may try and do some more last-minute UK breaks. I'm not optimistic about being able to go abroad without a vaccination or before I'm too pregnant. Although flights are still running even if they're advised against, I know people who have travelled in the last 3-4 weeks so it is possible even now.
