It won't. When and if it's declared safe to travel I will be booking straight away.
My in-laws live in Ireland. He hasn't seen his mum in 18 months. His mother has never met her great grand child. There will be lots of flights between here and Ireland from this household.
Then...I want to go, just the two of us. Somewhere relaxing and stress free.
I have 2 booked and paid for bobbi. The first is February and I know we won't be able to go - that was a biggy too :-(
Also for selfish reasons lack of foreign travel has hit me the hardest mentally during the pandemic and protecting the aviation industry would be near the top of my list.
We've written off foreign holidays for 2021 even tho we love them as we've had 4 holidays cancelled (2 abroad and 2 in England/Scotland) which has been a struggle to get money back in 2020 and think theres a strong chance it would happen again this year. We've so many friends & family visits here to catch up on we can manage until 2022 for flying.
I have now had three foreign holidays cancelled: in June, October and this coming February. I have received prompt refunds (in cash) for them all. The latest - for my abandoned trip next month - hit my bank account yesterday. I have another three booked and will be taking any of them I am allowed to. As well as that, as soon as things open up I shall be taking one or two extra trips to make up.
//It is a shame that some people are still reluctant to take up 'staycations' in support of the UK travel/hospitality first.//
Tell me where I can go in the middle of February, jack, for a couple of weeks relaxation in the UK? (OK , nowhere at present, but if there were no restrictions).
Pre pandemic and post pandemic there are loads of places in the UK judge. North Wales, South wales, Scottish highlands and islands, Lake District, Cotswolds, Northern Ireland coast...
I try to avoid staying north of where I live unless absolutely necessary (e.g. weddings, funerals or to visit a steam railway). And I certainly don't live north of Shetland! :-)
