I don't think flights are being "banned". Quarantine has never stopped Ryanair for example flying. It stops the holiday firms like Tui and Jet2 as they have customer charters offering refunds in those circumstances but some flights will operate enforced quarantine or not. There are no reasonable grounds to enforce quarantine for vaccinated people this summer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt i'll be vaccinated by then tbf, so if I want to plan anything in the medium term rather than wait till last minute, i'd have to do so based on the ludicrous nanny state BS coming from Scotgov 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael W Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Had my flights to Montenegro in May cancelled a couple of nights ago, but curiously the hotel booking itself (even though it was a package) seemed to still be live. Schedule has been scrubbed until June. Thankfully, this meant that a refund was due. Couldn't be arsed with an ongoing game of lift and shift whenever restrictions change so took the refund. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was their mail drop a few your a go....2022 ! it might still be possible but working in travel we always sell at least 18 months in advance, especially for family groups who need to plan and may need to use a savings plan to pay for their trip. We will have 2023 on sale in the next few months, it puts the pressure on those who book to come to the hotel each year to book as they know we sell out each year and there is a danger they will miss out. I cannot see anything wrong with them advertising a little in advance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot see anything wrong with them advertising a little in advance. Was going to say this. I usually book Florida flights well over a year in advance if available as I book everything separately, much to my own downfall as the last ever Thomas Cook flight into Glasgow in 2019 was supposed to be firing back out 5 hours later with me on it and of course, never left. Was some going getting flights to Miami via Heathrow for the next day booked and driving up to Orlando from there - try selling that to a family of 7 folk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madwullie Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 @Bairnardo, this is the thread I've finally re-stumbled on from the other day that describes the urgency and process for tweaking vaccines. It wasn't a video after all. It's v technical and miles beyond my in general, although I do get the gist - the bit about it not being an instantaneous process is in about tweet 17 onwards, but the rest is worth trying to get your head around. (c**t doesn't number his tweets, so will be amongst the first against the wall when I take charge) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly I do the same for Scotland games but do leave it late, but its just me and a mate Big groups need a lot of planning , we sold most of our 2021 rooms in 2020 and all the requests just now are for 2022 and 2023 (a few for Christmas this year) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1885 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Out of interest......In the foreseeable scenario that England open up reciprocal quarantine free travel with a few countries for summer, and Scotland do not, how many of you would be prepared to take a holiday by flying from/to England? Lets assume for the exercise that its July, and everyone over 50 is vaccinated. Nicola Sturgeon has told Scots they should not be doing this. I would.I wouldn't. I'm a lazy c**t and couldn't be arsed with the journey down for the outgoing flight or the return leg[emoji23][emoji23]I'd see absolutely nothing wrong with people doing it though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though as others have said, I just don't see how it would be a tenable position for the Scottish Government. 1 hour ago, Left Back said: More deaths in the second wave now than the first.

Mainly everyone and their granny who got cancelled in 2020 will be wanting to go and I don't fancy that level of crowd. Also, I'm outright refusing to go into that humidity and wear a mask all day in a theme park. No chance. So I'm now planning on September 2022 at the earliest, possibly as late as March or May 2023. Extend it out to 3 weeks and that will let us hit the Florida Keys for a week too. I'll book closer to home until then (Europe or Canaries) if circumstances allow us to go away without any fuss or risks of travel corridors or any of that pish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
