I already have a holiday booked for June; I booked this before corona was even an issue!

It's protected etc; curious if people are bothering to book or not though? I kinda hope it doesn't get cancelled but who knows!

We've booked UK for Easter weekend and May, booked in lockdown 1 to have something to look forward to. Also booked Florida for August, Disney is refundable 7 days before and balance not payable until June, booked flights with BA, flydrive so only deposit paid at this point, they're offering free changes to booking, was worried that flights would get expensive if I waited, they have gone up in price already.
I'm swinging between being really optimistic that we'll go and thinking we'll probably cancel.

I had a UK holiday this year, the same as all years booked last year.
I rebooked as soon as I got home for next summer.
6 weeks ago when I looked, I was the only booking for the whole summer holidays yet when I looked last week Hoseasons had upped the prices by an extra £400 a week and upped the prices from mid June instead of the normal 2oth ish of July.

Looked today and all weeks are now booked. This is in a quiet, nothing for children to do in the middle of the countryside non tourist area.

Defininitely. Virgin are having a Upper Class sale where tickets to the East and West Coast of US are £996 return. I wont holiday in this country due to the rip off prices after the first lockdown that Cornwall were trying to charge. That and the weather....

Have just booked the US for mid next year. We can shift the date if we are still in this state (but we wont be!).

Ive booked a uk cottage for £450. (Couldnt go abroad for that!) And hoping it will all go ahead!

Yes I’ve booked a villa in France. I’m hoping we can fly, but we could drive if we needed to.

Or we can cancel until July.

The holiday we were supposed to be having in the Netherlands last April is moved to next April. I'm assuming it'll be fine to go, given that the vaccines should have been given to all the vunerable and elderly by then.

We had been planning to go away this Christmas, but that's not happened, so will probably book a week somewhere hot in the school summer holidays.

The UK will be expensive and cramped, full of everyone who either rebooked this summer convinced we'll still be locked down next summer, or who have to stay self catering in the UK due to the lockdown puppy they bought...

I haven’t yet but I will be booking 2 holidays in December for next year. One to see my family and the other for a special birthday.

Definitely. I have booked two flights for 2021 so far. I am going to Santiago, Chile in February & Mexico City in October. I paid using British Airways air miles so it’s completely refundable. I plan to book a flight for December 2021 somewhere but will see how that goes. However if I had to part with non refundable cash - I’d be book last minute.
