Best answer
They are mostly prioritising those travelling in the next 2 weeks. I'm sure you will hear but it will be closer to your departure date.

It is all getting done in strict date order. They will only deal with people travelling in next 2 weeks.

I work in travel beleive its been a night mare they are asking people not to call unless they are travelling in next 2 weeks either as there are so many people to sort out but there are still selfish people that are not travelling fir a few months blocking up phone libes making hard for people who are travelling next week to get through.

@unalterable7025 yeh i dont want to ring yet was just asking if anyone from any travel agents had heard anything about May travel dates. I need to travel by trains (×3) to get to the airport aswell and book in advance for the cheap tickets(costs a fortune on 1 wage on the day travel) . X

We were suppose to be going to turkey on 29th April with jet2. They cancelled everything and we were offered vouchers or amendment, but choose to have a full refund as I have a feeling they may go bust after all this. I hope they don’t but who knows

@exogamy I was supposed to be going to Menorca on Sunday, i had an email just over a week ago telling me they'd contact me before we're due to fly to sort out what I want to do so it may be a few weeks before you get any communication.

This is not for you personally, but people in the uk need to start taking it serious and stay indoors at the moment. We are not on full lockdown here in Spain for 15 days already with another 15 minimum to go for people coming from other countries that haven't been isolating and might well bring the virus back in when we are allowed out again. We all need our lives back so the sooner people start to isolate the better
