Personally I don’t think there will be travel this year, especially any on flights. I watched something on this morning that said there won’t be any until there is a vaccine due to the social distancing not being met on the flights. I hope it’s all over soon. X

I just don't see how you can safely socially distance on an aircraft. I know there's talk of screens between seats etc but it's such a confined space to be in. No travel insurance will cover Covid and the thought of being ill abroad horrifies me. I'm staying in the garden this year

Holiday booked 3rd October to Egypt. At this point I'm neither hopeful nor pessimistic. If there's flights going to Egypt and the hotels are open I'll be there, but if not it's money towards another trip and I'll save the annual leave from work and take an even longer trip next time.

Are any companies going to insure anyone until there is a vaccine? Scientists have already said there will be further waves of the virus, so I can't see travel insurance companies being willing to issue policies when theres a risk of people being stuck on a ventilator for weeks in a foreign country and having to pay £100, 000 + . If they do, then they'll be charging an absolute fortune.

I'm insured I got an email saying I'll be insured for everything bar covid
by (1.4k points)
@heighho Thats exactly my point, youre not covered for anything covid related, so you're not fully insured like you would normally be. So if you go on holiday and need any treatment related to covid, then you have to pay yourself. Or if you get sick with something else, and they test you for covid and it comes back positive even though you have no symptoms and its not related to the illness that you have on holiday, then you still have to pay for your treatment because you're classed as having covid 19, even if youve really been admitted with food poisioning or a broken leg. Or if you go on holiday and theres a second wave, which there will be, and the country youre in announces a lockdown and you have to come home, then who covers the cost? Or they lockdown and you cant fly home, then who covers the cost of you staying there until theres a repatriation flight? Or if you cant obtain your 'health passport' which you'll need to be able to board a flight, because youve tested positive or havent yet got the antibodies, then you just lose all the money you've paid because youre not covered ? Would you book a holiday under normal circumstances with an insurance policy with all sorts of loopholes that wouldnt cover you for all sorts of things? I definitely wouldnt . I 100% wouldnt in the middle of a worldwide pandemic ‍♀️ . Its not really worth the paper its written on because it doesnt cover you under all sorts of circumstances.

Countries. Including UK realise tourism creates a massive revenue and are changing / adapting fast to the changing global needs. EG Malaga beach are talking about measuring out squares on the beach. This is just one very small adaption. We will see more to ensure the economy has a kick start.
