    Have to laugh when folk returning from Spain and having to isolate and saying this is gonna cost us £2K in earnings and won't be able to pay mortgage...FFS if you are struggling to make your mortgage payments why the hell are you flying off to another country especially when there is a pandemic sweeping the planet...?

    Anyone going abroad unless they are so rich that they can afford to stay indefinitely or if they come home are able to afford to isolate for two weeks needs their heads checked. If people want to go away it should be in the UK and even then I would say only under certain conditions such as being somewhere you can travel in your own private car and ideally only staying in single group residences rather than say a small B&B

    You just know though people will keep flying off to Spain, ignoring all the guidelines for social distancing and then when just a single one of them gets it and gets on the plane infect everyone else. Then get home and not actually isolate for 14 days as required and the R rate which is already back over 1 in some places is just going to keep rising.

    I live in the lake district , 20 min drive to Windemere etc , so really no need to travel far for a break etc . I know other people dont have the same options i have , but i would'nt consider travel outside the UK in the current situation .

    I couldn't think of a worse idea than to go on holiday to a foreign country whilst there is a threat of a second wave and there is no viable vaccine.

    Travel firms haven't been offering refunds unless the flights cancelled

    And as with Spain right now a lot are still flying empty as cheaper than refunding folk

    There’s 5 of us. £450 to change flights + £60 to transfer 2 x cases that I’ve added on. Absolute scandal. I had no issue paying the difference and moving flights, they won’t hear of it. Ryanair, that’s me done with them.

    Got a week in a cottage booked in Purbeck, Dorset in September. Self catering and lots of walking in superb countryside near the sea. It's got a second bedroom so my daughter and partner may join us for a few socially distanced days.
    No way I'll be going anywhere near a plane until this madness is over.

    Nope, just a ordered mini keg of Saltaire Blonde, my 4x4 slab garden and beer will do me reet.

    The annoying thing was that she spent 40 minutes on the phone with me checking the details of the 4 of us travelling on the booking. It wasn't until she confirmed that it had all been changed that she asked for £160. She said it was £40 per person. I would have been prepared to perhaps pay £40 to amend the booking but £40 per person on same booking was outrageous. I told her I had booked with them for the passed 10 years and that's the loyalty you are showing me. I told her I would be travelling with someone else next year, didnt seem to care to be honest. I submitted an online complaint almost 8 weeks ago now, and apart from an initial acknowledgment of the complaint, I have heard nothing since

    I would be more worried about the midges up in Scotland than Covid.
