Holiday bookings & Coronavirus...how are we affected?

[fossyant]

We are hoping to go to Italy in August, so we will have to see. Rhyl looks likely !

MrsP , myself and the kids are off to Sri Lanka in just over a weeks time, at the moment the foreign office, and the Sri Lankan government have nothing on their web sites against going, at the moment anyway.

My neighbours are due to fly to Sri Lanka then take a 3 week cruise around SE Asia In March.
if one case of the virus is reported then the ship will get quarantined. they are getting daily emails from the tour company, anyone with any signs of a cold or flu are being offered refunds. I think i would be doing everything possible to get a cold between now and then.

NOT another Coronavirus thread.
We booked 2 weeks in Majorca and paid in full. I also paid for insurance.
This morning Italy seems to be facing melt down with severe restriction on movement.
I have a strong feeling this is just starting.
So......were do we stand re holiday cancellations? Who decides when they can be cancelled with full repayment ?
I assume that I cannot just decide 'no thankyou' and cancel?
Any thoughts?

Am I allowed to say, Majorca is not in Italy?

Isn't it?? Bl**dy hell I never knew that
My point is ITS SPREADING.... and spreading fast. China one month, Europe a month later.

Don't worry too much, you might not be allowed out of outer Warrington soon.

Sorry... could not resist...

It reminded me of an incident with my youngest daughter, a few years ago, when a volcano in Iceland erupted and caused flights to be grounded, in various places.

I forget exact details now, but.......

Daughter was on holiday, with a group of her partying friends, in Ibiza.

News said that flights from South of mainland Spain were grounded.

Daughter rang me to ask "what do I do, Dad?"

I said to her "you do realise, you on an island, off the coast of Spain, in the Mediterranean, not in Southern Spain?"

"Oh, are we?" came the reply.

I've got Japan booked for Easter.

I have a feeling that may not happen.

I must admit, coming back recently from Africa I was surprised by the lack of checks or controls and the first time I saw anyone wearing a mask was on the London to Glasgow flight.

I try to encourage a degree of responsibility, she was 34 at the time!

I have not been terribly successful in my endeavours, I may add, now, 44 and little has changed
