This complicated things somewhat, but presumably we can just get it all back if we pay up as normal? Not sure mate, like casino says maybe @Traf may know something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Casino Posted April 7, 2020 Moderators Share Posted April 7, 2020 I'm due to go a few days earlier, with an airline that I'd expect to be the first up and running However, unless the govt allows a big release on the restrictions, jet2 UK can't make such a statement Unless they're playing games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very odd Be interesting to hear Trafs take on the timing of the announcement I have a holiday booked to Majorca going from Munich to Palma on 8th May. TUI hotel, but flight booked seperately with Lufthansa. So, TUI are saying you can move any holiday booked up till end of June to a new date, but they aren't cancelling them (yet). Lufthansa saying the same, but aren't cancelling the Flight (yet) despite my last three Lufthansa Flights (travelling to/from work) getting cancelled. Strange thing is, I went on the TUI website and entered the exact same dates from 8th May, and it comes up that I can book a holiday. I don't get it. Spain is in lockdown and the Hotels in Majorca have said it will be July before they can open again because they still need to be completely disinfected, and they have no idea about getting staff now.

Belgium has just over 2000 deaths, with a population of 11 million, That's a really gruesome amount considering.. To put it into context by scaling up, UK has 66 million, with 5400, If you use a scale factor of 6 to make the numbers level, Belgium would have 12,000 deaths Horrid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence we may be at the same level. Plus we're not looking at non-hospital deaths. It is why the comparison of daily deaths directly is discouraged because everyone is reporting in a different way.
