the mid/late-July conference I had been planning to attend in CPT has just been converted to a virtual event
fortunately I booked our long-haul flights (SEA-LAS-LHR-JNB-LVI; JNB-SIN/HKG-SEA) with miles, and the hotel in CPT on points, but I had engaged a TA for the internal flights (VFA-CPT on KQ; CPT-ULX and HDS-JNB on SA Airlink) and various accommodations (Vic Falls, Franschhoek, Sabi Sands, Timbavati)
final payment isn't due for another three weeks, but I have to wonder how much of the supposedly nonrefundable deposit I'll be able to recoup before invoking the "cancel-for-any-reason" clause in the travel insurance policy
