Travel to NY in April - would Brexit affect this?

[Quassia]

Planning to fly with DH and DC to New York City for a couple of weeks in early April, coming home Easter Monday or so. We'll be leaving our much loved cat at home with cat sitters coming in daily. We live in a city in East Anglia, and will be flying out of and back into Heathrow.

Do you think Brexit will affect anything badly? I don't believe air travel to and from the US will be affected, and riots affecting cat care are unlikely (right?) but not sure if there are other things I need to take into account.

Well air travel is the biggest issue. It's all governed by EU agreements, even for flights outside the EU.

US-UK flights cross EU airspace (Ireland)

We just don’t know! Nobody knows! It’s insane!

Sooooo, is it better to stay home, hunker down and watch the start of the new season of Game of Thrones do you think?

It's a shame as I've booked the time off and I need to use up annual leave days; also it coincides with the school's Easter break.

What would you do/where would you travel to if you did have a couple of weeks off at the start of April?

(Sorry phone slipped from my hand with earlier post)

They have reached a deal on air travel in event of no deal so flights will be running. Might be delays at airport or getting to airport so would allow plenty of time. Exchange rate could worsen but otherwise would go and have a great time.

We have booked to go to Florida in April. Booked over a year ago! I'm just ignoring it and assuming it will all be fine. La, la, la!!

Penguinpandas. They have reached an agreement but the agreement is limited flights! www.independent.co.uk/travel/brexit-no-deal-travel-flights-eu-uk-cancelled-departures-cost-a8691686.html?amp&__twitter_impression=true

There's a separate deal with US.

Ah OK.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-46380463 has details. Only noticed it as we have booked very cheap flights with Ryanair to Sweden and out of Norway so watching flight stories, not worried for our flights now, just exchange rate.

Thank you PenguinPandas, GD12 and PPs.

toomuch hope you have a great time in Florida, fingers crossed for your travel!

We'll be flying with Virgin Atlantic. Will think about plans some more...

Agree the exchange rate will be horrible, but we hope to see family we've not seen in a decade or more, plus we've never been to NYC.

We booked a cruise a while ago which leaves on the 7th April from Italy....It was really well priced when we booked it and the flights were also cheap £86 return including luggage - I see it has a good opportunity to make the most of cheaper travel whilst others ponder...agree currency could go either way but not expecting to spend too many euros with a cruise that includes food and drink.

Well we are going to NYC /Boston at the start of April for 2 weeks, so it’d better be ok! Flights and accommodation already paid for ages ago. We’re now trying to pay for other stuff now, in case the exchange rate gets even worse (statue of liberty, Broadway tickets, might book top of the rock now too). Got travel insurance of course.

I really really hope it’s all going to be fine!

Nobody really knows. Terrifying, isn't it.

I wouldn't assume planes won't fly, they might be fine. The situation should be clear within a day or so.

A day or so of 29th March, I mean. Politicians are on holiday now.

I suspect that the transatlantic air route will be one of the safest to book as its SO business oriented
and NYC is wonderful

but everything else Brexit related is an omnishambles
