Booking flights in March 2021
Every year we attend an event in South Africa flying in Club to JNB with a 2-4-1 and Avios. Tomorrow is T-355 for next years dates.
Should we book now or hold off or just not book anything until all this is over - my gut instinct is to book and plan as normal but need to convince other half that this is a sensible (or not) decision.
Appreciate that noone knows what will happen anywhere but what are other people thinking and doing about booking flights that far in the future?
Thoughts?

I am also tempted, in the hope that the small hotels we use in the Western Cape are still in existence ... and all the restaurants and bars we use. A tricky call.
EDIT = Damn ... all Jan/Feb J redemptions gone already! OK, pay cash using the refunds from BA for this year’s non-travel!!
