My son's Spanish festival initially moved from may to September, but has now cancelled for this year.

Even if some countries open for tourism, they're unlikely to be letting us in, just people from grown up countries.

Re: Holidays, trips & travel 2020
That's exactly what we were saying today. I think we're going to put any holiday money we have saved and put it into the house. I just can't see any country letting us in any time soon and who can blame them?Mountain Goat wrote: ↑Wed May 13, 2020 9:34 pm Even if some countries open for tourism, they're unlikely to be letting us in, just people from grown up countries.

Sorry for all the messed up plans. So disappointing.
We are half seriously looking at camper vans/trailers. It's about the only way we can think of to comfortably go anywhere this year, and possibly next year.

Has anyone been able to figure out the process of getting hold of a voucher from Easyjet?

Has your flight been cancelled yet, Hazey? If so you can manage your booking on their website and request credit / a refund through there.Hazey_Jane wrote: ↑Fri May 15, 2020 5:27 pm Has anyone been able to figure out the process of getting hold of a voucher from Easyjet?

Ah, okay. I am still waiting for a refund from our March flights. It could take a while!

Re: Holidays, trips & travel 2020
Virgin Atlantic will let us rebook the flights but because the schedule is only released 11months in advance the earliest we could rebook for aug 2021 is September. We could change for free but subject to any difference in flight costs (which could be massive I guess). They let you keep the rebooking open in the meantime. What I wondered is- if Virgin went bust whilst we had a open booking with them would we be able to claim either from travel insurance (I don't know if ours would cover it anyway given we arranged it shortly after booking) or credit card?
Theres no advantage to us doing it yet because we might as well hold on and see if it gets cancelled anyway, but I want to try and figure out our options in advance

We didn't cancel our booked camping in late July (in Dorset), so I'm hoping we can still get away. The owner feels it would be straightforward to distance there. (Basic facilities, no shop, plenty of space etc)

Re: Holidays, trips & travel 2020
Here camp sites etc can re-open now, (well, on Tuesday) with distancing and providing they're not in a "red zone" for infection rates. Oh, just checked, it's gone over to orange or green zones now, no more red

Re: Holidays, trips & travel 2020
The EU are going to make a decision on internal borders for 15th June - I'd guess that intra-EU travel for holidays will be allowed either then or for July. No help for people from the UK to make decisions obviously though, especially with the quarantine measures that were announced.

Re: Holidays, trips & travel 2020
Campsites here is 12 June (pending stage 1 going well, which it seems to be so far), as long as your group is smaller than 10. But they will limit capacity to ensure that social distancing can occur. The place I want to book for July school holiday isn’t taking bookings until the state confirms stage 2 is going ahead as planned though. I’ll use the site toilets but I’m not going to use showers (we have an en-suite in the van now).

Campsites are open here - a friend went to one last week and said she's never seen it so busy. Communal showers, toilets and cooking areas were still shut though.

Re: Holidays, trips & travel 2020
How are people supposed to go to the toilet?
That's the issue with parks here. The govt is like "Crack on, get to the park, spend all day" but then there is no where to go to the loo. Apparently Finsbury park is ringed with wee and worse!

Thanks Beatrix. It's made more difficult because my friend made our bookings so is dealing with it. When I say dealing with it I mean doing nothing so I have spurred her on with your titbit of info.

She has a camper van - not sure if that was true for everyone or if it's the bushes! So grim with the parks.
