Emirates have burnt through 1.6 Billion just on refunds.

yes November 21 is the date being slung around currently......or until a " viable vaccine" is on the market.......sux balls imho.

Sensible decision. What's the point of locking down the country whilst importing cases?

Wish the UK would've shut down the airspace, until pre flight tests and 14 day quarantine in hotels are mandated. Would stop people feeling the selfish need to mince off unnecessarily to the canaries for a couple of weeks during a pandemic.

Now, it's not often I want to shout **** off at my computer screen, but on this occasion I will make an exception - **** off!



Please excuse the profanity, but come on, are you living in some sort of bubble, isolated from the rest of the world... you may not agree with the way things are being handled, but yes this IS a deadly pandemic!

mum & dad both dead .....2 brothers in their 60's neither of them in particularly good health one of them battling bone cancer , he's a chronic asthmatic he hasn't been out much since march and when he does he wears a mask and is careful about distancing and hygiene , the other has Silicosis so he is also being careful and wearing a mask and distancing .....i dare say neither of them would cope well with the virus.

You don't book a holiday in any serious expection of going anywhere anymore. You go thru the motions of using up some of your big batch of Easyjet credits on booking flights, you select your booking.com accomodation as much on the strength of its cancellation policy as anything else. Then you have to unravel the whole thing a couple of weeks or months later. I've been zapped twice in the past month alone. Some chums have been thru this circus five or six times this year. It's a sickener for all concerned. Feel really sorry for those service providers trying to provide a decent service under impossible circumstances

From what I have been told, this will smash the short haul companies - easyjet/ryan air - more than the lon haul companies - as they have calculated low numbers anyway.

We will see one big airline fail soon, if it is easyjet Gatwick may as well close.

You just have to hold the nerve and book a week max out from when you want to travel. I've had 5 trips abroad this year.

Looking to go to Mexico for a month in December and will try and travel to Peru and Belize while there.

On a side note i notice that there still quite a few flights going from Gatwick and Heathrow today !!!
