Travel Plans

Ronk,

Never let anyone else decide the risk that you alone are prepared to take. The ferries may well run on your intended travel date, but you might not want to travel then because you don't want to expose yourself to an unacceptable perceived level of risk. In the greater scheme of your finances, losing a £100 deposit is no worse than getting a puncture and buying a new tyre. Don't give it a further thought.

Had a bike trip to lake Como in July. The Chunnel won’t refund, only defer crossings for 12 months from booking day ( Jan 2020) so they’ll only honour until jan 2021..there’s no chance we can rebook this year. The 2 hotels we booked on the way in France (Lille and Dijon) have not refunded and looks like they’ve gone bust as they haven’t been replying to messages and emails.
I’ll base these experiences on wether I’ll ever use them in the future.

Another company, Travel Republic have given us a credit note until next year( we where due to go to Mykonos last week). We had the offer of a full refund, but decided the cash was best left with them to help keep them afloat, but if the flight company goes bust, then it’s game over.

Another hol is booked in Sept to Amalfi coast, and upto now, it’s still open, but we’ll see....
