I was planning to take most of the summer off travel since Victoria is such a nice place to be. Then I was going to purchase another UFP in September. That's probably not gonna happen but we'll see.
I would have gone to YUY at the end of March and that was cancelled. I'm missing an NYC trip next week and the YHZ do. I also like to do a summer driving trip through the Alps which is not going to happen. I had a spring trip to LHR which has been cancelled or postponed.
I have some business travel to YEG area which I've paused but I think I'll go soon. I have to go to Tallahassee in July and LIT or DFW sometime this summer too hopefully.

Most trips below were for meetings and have been postponed until next year (or will be or will be held virtually I suspect)
2 trips to Quebec City (May)
Marseille(s), France (June)
St. Petersburg, Russia with combined visit to Finland to visit family (June--now rescheduled to September but doubt it will materialize now)
Denver (August--large meeting now going virtual)
Nairobi, Kenya -- October
Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia - October
in addition to all my usual back and forth Calgary-Edmonton, Calgary-Grande Prairie, Calgary-Fort McMurray
will assess situation -- missed our usual late winter/spring trips to Tucson so hoping to go August or September but looking less likely even with "opening up" under less than ideal conditions
Have three flight passes that thankfully have been suspended (unlimited type) or extended well into 2021.

Trips not taken: CDG, TLS, LHR, IAH, DFW, GCM, YEG, YYC, YYZ, HNL (leisure)
But I'm enjoying actually not doing any of the above...being grounded for awhile is fine with me.
Soon enough it will back to the "salt mine".....

Just cancelled another YYZ and a Japan trip, but I replaced them with LHR and VIE, so it's not really COVID related.

Had to cancel a few trips that were planned.
Whistler for early April skiing was cancelled.
I had a ticket home from school (YYZ-YHZ) in April that I ended up moving to March 18th as my university and flight school closed, and have been living in YHZ ever since.
Had to cancel a round trip back to YYZ for a wedding in late April, and my flights back to YYZ for school in early May.
Trip to Boston in June for a family event is also cancelled as well.
I was also planning to travel to Europe this summer but it had not been booked yet when the pandemic started, so that’s one less thing to worry about. My bimonthly trips home from school aren’t happening either as I’m just hanging out at home anyways.

Cancelled:
Japan for Easter (with a non-AC side trip to Hanoi for inaugural Vietnamese F1 race)
YVR Do (although no travel required, it was AC related)
SYD-BNE (non-AC side trip to CBR)
YHZ-DUB
Nothing else booked to cancel, though there were ideas. I would love to book for fall or winter, but the required optimism has been snuffed out. It's the quarantine that makes it unviable.

Usually fly to MAD twice a month so that’s not happening any time soon.
Otherwise was needing to book separately:
- ARN
- PER
- AKL (for next year’s Americas Cup, not sure if NZ will open up to intl tourists by then)
Luckily most of my other trips are booked close to departure, still bummed nonetheless!

We are currently scheduled to fly AC into FCO in September, but who knows what will be going in Italy then. So we have a plan B, which is to go to Tofino. The place we would be staying at took our booking, but again who knows what the situation will be at that time.
But as CZAMFlyer points out, AC may get you there, but where you are going could nix those plans. I suspect this could be true for some other destinations, which may add more posts to this thread.

Of course, to make the trip work as currently planned, we also need Pacific Coastal to be flying. Or else we're going to have to fly AC to YQQ or YCD on AC and drive the rest of the way, which I'd rather not do.

MEL x 2, YYT, FRA (to Bonn), and half a dozen other European trips that didn't even get to the planning stages. In fact, since Jan and Feb were spent on other matters, I haven't flown a single AQM this year.

Since Mar 15th 2020, Cancelled:
- YVR
- YXE
- HAJ
- DUB (Vacation)
- YVR
- YYZ
I'd like to travel YYC-YXU in August but it seems like the smart thing to do is quarantine when I'm there and again when I get home, seems like a hassle.
