According to the BBC’s Norman Smith the mood music from Downing St points towards no more than a tweak to the current restrictions at the next review, not a significant relaxation.

He suggested the 12 weeks Boris proclaimed at the outset would be more realistic - and even then it’s not guaranteed that non-essential travel would be included in phase one of the relaxation. Plus, of course, the rest of the world has to open its borders and relax quarantine rules - and that’s a totally unknown timescale.

Grant Shapps got a lot of flak for saying last week he wouldn’t be booking a summer holiday but sadly too many people are still in denial.

c) that our villa owners themselves have managed to get into Greece from Dubai to open up

I on the other hand remain to be convinced that we’ll be going anywhere before Christmas

Agreed. Add to that the fact that your travel insurance probably now has massive exclusions in place...I have sadly told our family that in all likelihood we will be staying put this summer.

You're quite right. I’d completely forgotten about travel insurance. Luckily I’d held off booking car parking and car hire, so we’re only in for the deposit on the villa and the avios of the flights

The starting point these days is to understand that as Covid-19 is entirely known, both travel insurance and future waivers may be much less forgiving. E.g., if the flight operates but you do not fit the criteria for traveling at origin, connections or destination, you may well be SOL. This means that one must be prepared to accept 100% of the risk going forward.

With that said, if BA had an inkling of what June looked like, it would lock its schedule in. But, BA does not because nobody does. Moreover, even if the legal restrictions are relaxed, it may well be many months before many people are prepared to travel other than for essential reasons. Thus, demand may be "soft" for as long as 18-24 months.

One ought to book what one feels comfortable booking, whilst paying close attention to all aspects of risk, who bears it and what policies remain in effect.

It's HSBC Premier so I'd hope so. To be honest if the owners are stuck in Dubai, I'd see if they could hold over the deposit to the same dates next year first.

Around half of London has seen a significant drop in household income, and this fraction is going to be rising. When this starts to manifest itself, perhaps towards the end of the month, many might start to think it's not worth trying to "stop the spread".

Whislt that's wholly impractical and untrue, I can see this lockdown lasting longer than it should because of uninformed public outcry

This post is astonishing. Fully open early June. Wow.
This place is nuts at times.

After all, there's an influenza vaccine eeach year in the UK and we still get up to 10,000 deaths from it.

I can see the arguments on both sides, but ultimately there comes a point where people’s assessment of risk changes with time, and so plans and policies have to change. There appears to be broad support for the measures currently undertaken to help stop the spread. The question is ..for how long ? People are generally supportive, but ask them if they’d be willing to have most of the measures in place for another 6 months ....well I’m not sure what the response would be then.

I don’t think you can lock people in their homes indefinitely, or until a vaccine comes along...if it comes along.

I think some holidays will resume by September/October. If nobody flies or takes a holiday this year, the travel industry and economy will be hit so hard that they will be in tatters by 2021. We aren’t all going to wait for a vaccine because that could be mid to late 2021 and people will be travelling by then.
