.....anybody booking a holiday this year? Would this count as 'an act of dog' regarding insurance unless the FO bans travel to a particular country?

Going to Portugal, Spain and France this year. Hoping they can contain this beast. My insurance covers for any reason for cancellation, but not many would. A quick phone call should let you know.

I would think insurance covers this if you are unable to / prevented rather than you dont want to go.

...so looks like FO ban would be required....more generally I was wondering if people are having second thoughts on booking holidays all things considered.

Quite opposite. Was looking at taking the kids to Center Parcs around easter but flights to the Balearic's are getting cheaper by the day.

Mate of mine was due to go to HK last week and they phoned and offered him a full refund if he didn't want to go.

Funny thing is he went and stayed a couple of nights before going to Thailand - whereupon he got sunstroke and salmonella and ended up in hospital spewing and sh1tting everywhere. Not sure how many days he was in hospital but four or five I reckon, on leaving hospital he realised someone had nicked all his cash (£500)

Like your thinking....was looking at Mallorca in May...definitely worth waiting more last minute though. Aren't the Balearic's always cheaper than Center Parcs though ?

Watching this daily as due to fly out to Rome next tuesday. Unless FCO advise against travel or advise the airlines to suspend flights, will be heading there armed with hand gel.

We have no village green, or a shop. It's very, very quiet. I can walk to the pub.

Most travel insurance products - even quite expensive ones - are near worthless and the only reason to take one out is in case you need expensive medical treatment in the US. Some even have exclusion clauses over epidemics etc.

Most experts agree they don't really do that much and the small amount they may do it offset by people not using them properly anyway.

The most effective advice seems to be clean your hands regularly with soap or anti-bac.

Was meant to be going to SE Asia for work in a couple of weeks and I've cancelled it.

I know that was then, but it could be again..

I'm just talking to Mrs H about me and my middle son going away next month.

Grand Canaria. Prices are dirt cheap so I am tempted but......

Summer? We are going to wait for overseas but have already booked a glamping holiday in Dorset.

Later in the year we are looking at Oman but will wait and see what happens. If it gets super cheap but looks like it's under control we may pounce.

Presumably anyone booking a holiday going forward, or taking out insurance now on a holiday already booked is taking A chance as the risk of cancellation has risen.

We have our fingers crossed as have cruise booked, from Miami, in a months time. Know we wouldget money back but would prefer the holiday. Flower Power Cruise, not like any other cruise.

Already booked for 2021 same cabin, totally different line up.

From a work perspective I have had to speak to a few colleagues who have booked or are going to SE Asia.

Personally I did think about it, but just arranged to go out to Australia for the T20 Cricket World Cup so hope it all clams down before October!
