Going on holiday tomorrow but poorly kids!!!

[Asvan]

Hi everyone

We are due to go on holiday to Turkey tomorrow but two out of my three kids have fallen Ill today. They both have sore throats and temperatures and have not eaten or drank much today. One of them has just complained that he feels sick.

We have been looking forward to this holiday for six months but I really don't want to take them in this state. Our flights are at 2pm tomorrow and I really don't know what to do. I need to think of a plan b just incase we have to end up cancelling.

Our flights are booked with easyjet and we do have travel insurance, what could my options be if I do cancel? I have only paid for one nights hotel stay and the rest would be paid on arrival.

Will my insurance company pay out? I feel like they both have some kind of virus but the last thing I want to do is take them abroad and be stuck in a hotel room.

I'm immune suppressed, in fact a chest infection could take me out in hours. I always catch something snotty on a flight but carry a whole army of antibiotics wherever I go and have the proper travel insurance.

General illness doesn't bother me, I'll steer clear or try and swap seats with family if near someone with a cold etc. Its things like chicken pox and stuff that winds me up, things like that you shouldn't be on a flight with. Also things people can avoid without much impact, like sitting behind me in a cinema coughing and sneezing and snotting everywhere, stay at bloody home and watch it next week! Flights are difficult though, its not like you can just do it tomorrow when you have a bit of a cold no matter how much I worry about catching it. I fly a lot though so have probably gotten a bit immune to it (Ha)
