Esco Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 No holiday plans. Have plenty of days off saved but no point in taking any in the foreseeable future. We were planning to go Italy in summer safe to say that's cancelled. Let's just ride this one out 1st and see what's next 2nd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJSP Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Our Cyprus trip next week is off😩. Had to cancel Venice on Boxing Day as I f***d my back up Christmas Day so I’m not very popular at home !! thinking of changing our July trip to thailand to Christmas instead if I can get it switched with Thai Air. School finishes 11th December and returns 7th Jan so can get a decent trip in ( not really trying to think about December really...as that’s depressing).

Popular Post Mr. Smooth Posted March 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 25, 2020 On self quarantine now at the recommendation of my doctors office upon returning from Kenya with Emirates, and jumping through a few hoops to finally get back. The highway running past the San Francisco Airport was maybe 5% of normal traffic, very eerie to see, so I guess the "stay at home" mandate from the governor of California is being obeyed by the people for the most part. I had a scheduled trip to the DomRep in May, that will be cancelled. A trip to Belize in late July is most likely going to be cancelled. I think I'm done with travel this year until I retire, which I'm looking at doing at the end of November. I'm looking at a 4 week trip to Thailand, with short trips to other spots in the region, just after Christmas, as long as things are back to normal then, or as close to normal as possible. I have no doubt that the travel industry will need a lot of time to get all ramped up again, and more important, regain the customers trust in being able to deliver the service they are promising. And also the governments of the countries we all love to go, what sort of protocols they will institute, if any, that we will need to adhere too. Just too much to worry about now, like family, as has been mentioned earlier. My biggest concern is for my dad, he's 78 has a heart condition and respiratory problems, emphyzema being one of them. If this thing got a hold of him, it's curtains for sure. It's up to all of us to make smart decisions in our personal lives to do our part in leveling off this virus. But make no mistake, the way of the world these days will be to politicize this thing at some point, and the cable news will only be too eager to go down that road. It's funny though, how all these problems and concerns and protests about this or that, how we are killing the planet, etc....all that nonsense has gone by the wayside in lieu of the virus taking the lion's share of broadcast and cable news. Lets love and care about our fellow man now folks. One day we will return to normal and get back to hating our fellow man and stabbing him in the back. And it will be all right there as the lead story on Sean or Rachel or Morning Joe or Anderson or the BBC. When that happens, we will all know were back to normal again. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thumper63 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Just got a call from the GF. She got a notice on her Apple phone that the state of Colorado is going on lock down tomorrow.

Stillearly Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Looks like Qatar have now cancelled the flights on 30th ... but I have had no correspondence from them ... I've just sent an email to ask for a full refund .. will see what happens Bangkok Airways sent an email today to advise that their domestic flight from UTP to Samui has been cancelled, so sent a request for a full refund there hopefully they will both come back , if not will contact the credit card companies and raise a dispute 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its virtually impossible to get through to anyone ... Stick with it the whole world is in the same situation at the moment.. I still want my money back for my flight with Qatar , but being July I will have to wait.

KhunDon Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 (edited) August trip to Thailand for the wife and kid is out, place in Italy is out, would have liked to go to the Lake District to visit family, but that’s out now, as police are stopping people traveling (wife got stopped and questioned by the cops on her way to the shops yesterday) so it’s time to dig out the tent the wife bought last year and trample some grass on the lawn. ☹️ Ryan Air has grounded its entire fleet, so we can’t even fly to an airport miles from a city, for £5. 🤣 Edited March 30, 2020 by KhunDon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
