Holiday booked for June...abroad

What is the likelihood of this going ahead? Does anyone know? It's not a country which is on the red list or whatever it is called!

Two weeks away which I booked before all this happened! All paid off... unsure if we should pay to move it for next year or go ahead and risk it!

@DavidsSchitt I think I’ll need to pay the dofsenxe in the new holiday price and my children will both be 16 by next June so they’ll be more expensive.
I’m not anniued that I agreed in 2019 to A price for a holiday that I’ve booked for 2020 that was cancelled and is now going to be 2 years later and a hugely inflated cost. Not what I signed up for and I’d rather just have my 2k back.

We have two weeks on a Greek island booked. It is a villa with a private pool and the beach is usually very quiet. We are very low down the vaccine list being late 30s so I'm not sure if it will go ahead I'm about 50:50. If they want to do tests on our young children that will be a deal breaker as it's not a holiday if they get poked and prodded on arrival imo.

There was an article today about Greece gearing up to open to the Uk as long as people have vaccine passports ..... hopefully you will get your vaccines before then

we were supposed to go in June 2020 moved to June 2021 and now moved to august 2021 and am not sure we'll be going tbh. What gives me a bit of hope is that being in our 40s we should both be vaccinated long before then (not the kids though).
Luckily I have up to two weeks before to change it (again).
I think after april 12th things will be clearer. The noises from government suggest that they do want us to get moving but that doesn't necessarily mean that wherever we are going will take us and if it's somewhere that necessitates masks outside everywhere I don't fancy it tbh

I'm not having the vaccination as I'm pregnant- personal choice but there hasn't been enough evidence for me to go ahead. It's taken me a long time and pain to now be in my second trimester!

We shall see then I guess... if it gets cancelled we will use the money to rebook for next year.

If you read the government guidance on gov.uk it’s all framed in terms of “not before” [relevant date]. I think there will be inevitable slippage
