davemclaren Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 We were due to go up north for a wee break in just over a week. Just phoned the hotels to cancel and they were very understanding. Told them that, if we and them see this out, we’ll be booking up with them later in the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericb Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I have a holiday booked with Jet2 in May, which I know isn't going to happen. I have not yet taken travel insurance out I've paid only a deposit (not on a CC) and The balance is due imminently. Do I cancel, thus losing my deposit. Or pay up in the assumption I get a refund if they cancel on me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malinga the Swinga Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) I played for Portnahaven in village match v Port Charlotte about 10 years ago and tore my groin after about 60'minutes. Tried to play second leg three days later after taking injection and went into tackle after a minute. Thought my leg was going to fall off and had to crawl off pitch. My wife just stood there shaking her head and not saying a word. Mind I was about 45 and should have known better. Was worth it though cause we won on penalties over the 2 legs.

I pick up my first group tomorrow for a run up the Applecross peninsular then around Torridon.....it’s a spectacular run 170mile loop. The thing is, no one will want to sit in a coach with a load of strangers now so, small private tours will do well. The public event things are shut like culloden battlefield, distillery tours etc but tbh......there are a huge number of scenic drives up here and, the thing about tourists from abroad, they will be replaced by tourists from down south who still want to go on holiday but be a wee bit isolated, private lodges, cottages, out of the way. I’ve lost a few bookings but, I guarantee once the dust settles down people will be heading north..... my place. www.alba-Inverness.co.uk Anyone fancy a wee break and tour, give me a shout. p.s.

No chance of getting it round those parts. Tourist season hasn't kicked off over there yet, but they're worried it's going to be very quiet as tourists can't fly into the UK to visit in the first place.

Quite a lot of people travel between Shetland and the Mainland that way. I think we interacted with a total of 5 people in 3 days on Skye, mostly kept to ourselves in self catering. Definitely in the hebridean islands, however not confirmed as there has only been 9 tests carried out on elderly patients with pneumonia symptoms. My mate and his girlfriend have definitely got it after he came back from Prague. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kids not keen on going back, they want heat and sun, but I would go back in a second. We used to stay in Burnside, the last house on the right in Port Wemyss as you head to Portnahaven. Big Lachlan Cameron is the same age as me and there was a crowd who used to run about together. Same age as me (50) and he's the owner of Ayr United. He still has the family home in Portnahaven. Halfway along the row of houses heading to the pub. Just as you leave Portnahaven, heading to Port Charlotte, there's a football pitch on your left. We used to go there every day and play footie. The farmer came along one day and saw us playing in the field so built goalposts for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malinga the Swinga Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 The pitch at Pottnahaven has unfortunately bitten the dust. Last village game I played was at that park. Ball kept going ointment fields next to it and the thistles were unreal. The best pitch now is Port Charlotte. They still have nets on goals and not vandalised. Spent many an afternoon playing there with son. Also played for Islay boys club there, with the issue of being mid 40's at the time. Was good to play in same side as my son though. Remember eating steak pie and chips and half an hour later, boys club were 2 players short so me and son played. Great times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart Lyon Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I was due to fly to Seville with easyJet on 23/4/2020 and was assured by the company via an email that I would get a refund if that's what I wanted. Got an email from them about 30 minutes ago to say the full refund had been approved and would be credited to my CC account in 3-5 days! Always wonder though why they take the cash off right away when you pay but a refund takes 3-5 days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t see a lot of leisure based foreign travel happening until the earlier of a vaccine, herd Immunity or the virus mutates to something less dangerous.

My balance is due to be paid this Sunday with Jet2, for our holiday in July. I'm not paying it, because 1) I don't want to go now, I can't take the risk. 2) Even if I did pay it then it got cancelled, I'd likely receive a credit note instead of my money back. So it's simplier to just keep the money in the bank, at least I know I've got the cash here, and if by some miracle there is a vaccine or something, I've got the cash to book something and leave pretty much within a week or two.

My daughter and granddaughter had planned to fly down to the Harry potter studio in March 2017, she booked the tickets in June 16.... my daughter was not very well and sadly she died in October 16. After a few weeks it was my granddaughters decision that she still wanted to go to the Harry Potter studio and I would take her. Ryan air refused to change the name on the ticket to my name unless I paid £250, I refused and booked new flights with easyJet. I will NEVER forgive them for that and I hope they go bust (I know it’s not their employees fault) their owner is an absolute snake.

I was meant to be away last week, I’m due to be away last week of June and 2nd week of August. First two are jet2 and last one is Ryanair I’m certain they will try to run that flight. Pretty much accepted no holidays this year but a voucher isn’t acceptable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
