To ask whether you foresee your summer travel plans proceeding?

[holidaysoff]

With the current situation in the Middle East not improving and jet fuel set to run out in 6 weeks, what do you think are the chances of your summer holidays proceeding?

Our big abroad travel holiday is in December (off to Japan) so not going to worry yet about that. However, I have flights France to visit my 94 year old gran in the summer as she is not in the best of health.

Have you a list of any good ones.

Was thinking London/ Edinburgh. They haven't been. But other places would be good for future trips as well. 8 and 12 year olds

Sorry.

If i offended you.

Not laughing at your post.

Just think you meant pragmatic.

Phlegm means sputum/ spit.

But not laughing at you.

I’m planning alternative train routes just in case - very doable as we need to get to Milan, and we’re going for 2 weeks so it’s worth the extra travel time if necessary. I will have my usual summer hols come hell or high water!

Maybe check the definition (I did!).

Europe/Uk there's fuel ATM and should be for at least, maybe, 6 weeks...estimates vary.

Currently flights aren't being cancelled due fuel shortages in the Uk/Europe and the airlines hope the fuel situation will improve PDQ, so they're going to keep selling pretty much as normal, right up to the point where cancellations/consolidations become inevitable, if that happens.

Where this ends up depends on how quickly the Straits.of Hormuz blocade gets lifted.

Yes, I’d imagine it’s a bit like a business going into receivership, just carrying on regardless right up until they slap a sign on the door saying “Closed for Good”.

We're going to a campsite about 20 minutes away. So should be business as usual.

You clearly aren't aware of the moods or personality types based on the humours - phlegmatic, choleric, sanguine etc. If you're not familiar with a word, it helps to look it up rather than to assume that the poster has made a mistake. The answer is literally at one's fingertips.

Booked to take DS to Croatia for a few days after GCSEs, am keeping everything crossed 🤞

That’s devastating news for you all, I’m so very sorry for you.

News like that puts all this debacle into perspective doesn’t it..

I’m not thinking about it. It’s not in my control. It will be what it will be. But I do expect it will be fine.

We have a week in June. I’m not thinking about it at all, what will be will be.

We have two lots of long haul flights booked for July and October. I’d be gutted if the July one is affected as it’s for us, our kids and their partners. The October flights are for a wedding. I’d be delighted if we had to cancel, tbh.

No. I meant phlegmatic.

It means unemotional and stolid. Accepting of what is coming my way.

We are going to wales, always were. I’m worried it is going to be super busy! We were considering popping out to the family apartment in Marbella, that’s super flexible but probably won’t go this year.

I just bought a house so my days of affording holidays are gone. I am supposed to be flying on a Year 8 trip abroad in June. They're a challenging year group. I can't say I'd be heartbroken not to go! But I hope for most people's sakes that there are no issues.

I think prebooked holidays may be ok but I’m not booking anything else until this war is over

I have just got back from a 2 week holiday in Malaysia

We did have some flights via Dubai cancelled for some of us but we sorted it out. My friends even spent 2 weeks of their month long holiday actually in Dubai. They flew there about 3 weeks weeks after the war started. Apparently it was lovely, quiet and cheap ( dont ask me I would not have gone but they chose to and it actually worked out fine for them)

As to flight cancellation of internal flights within Malaysia, that happened to some flights but luckily not to ours

Asian airlines are definitely already being affected by the fuel issue but it wasn't stopping most flights, not sure about in Europe and hopefully hhe fuel issue may resolve before the summer

Ive just booked a trip to Japan for this time next year, so I am obviously hoping things improve

Ill wait and see what the travel company says.
I feel very sorry for civilians suffering because Trump is trigger happy.

I don’t think I would book flights now knowing it’s possibly going to be cancelled as why would an airline have any reason to compensate you? However our flights were booked in January so the airline does have some responsibility.

My DS is getting married in Spain in June so I'm hoping that we'll all be able to get there! I honestly wouldn't mind driving down if we have to though.

This is my take on it too, we’ll do something else if our overseas holiday is cancelled. But I have faith it won’t get to that stage.
