As above. Have had a really horrible year with doing IVF for 7 months of it, with numerous fails, which have really worn us down, despite the fact that I am pregnant now. Had a holiday postponed from Feb half term 21 to 22, but couldn't go due to the fact I would be too far along, so moved it to the week after Xmas and DH, DS and I were all excited. Last holiday as a 3.

I'd been relaxed about not catching covid as we'd avoided it til now and things were looking really positive, but now Omicron has come along! All I was worried about was that the holiday wasn't going to go ahead until yesterday, when it suddenly hit me that if we test positive abroad we'd be moved to some horrible hotel for 10 days! Of course I've already checked in to the flights 😫

I'd like to think we still have good odds of not catching it, but that's a big gamble. Especially with meeting friends and family over Xmas, even if everyone does lateral flow tests. Insurance won't cover us being afraid to go now, so that'd be £5k down the drain unless Jet2 miraculously agree to amend it for us.

Best to just give up on the holiday or try and go ahead despite the huge worry?

What is your priority - seeing family on 25/26 December or going on holiday? If holiday I would not see others at all from here on in.

Ugh it feels like an impossible choice... I guess Christmas is the priority but they are such different things for different reasons. also if Omicon is as bad as they say we could catch it at the airport or at the shops as we need to get food in now anyway...

Ok well for anyone reading this thread in a similar situation, I managed to get through with hardly any holding and spoke to a really nice woman who said we can change the hol for a reduced admin fee due to the issues going on at the moment. So that's amazing, just need to make the decision now.

Wow OP, amazing that they showed so much understanding, what did you decide?
