Are you worried about Coronavirus in relation to any holidays that you have booked in 2020?

Coronavirus is constantly in the news, and there is much uncertainty about how far and wide it will spread.


Many of us have travel plans in the near future and perhaps the Far East is/was on our agenda.


Have you got any holidays booked to the Far East? Are you now wishing to change your plans? What are your views?

We planned on a cruise in late March. As we watch the Corona virus updates it appears we won't be going. We were headed to Europe. Alas as we are older and a bit health hampered, we think boarding a ship now is just courting disaster.

Personally, I’m putting off travel until this is under control. We have a lady at either who has a cruise booked which is due to go to China, not sure what she will fo, but work may impose 2wk barrier if she goes

Travel seems full of uncertainty at the moment ... my daughter is due to go to Vietnam at Easter via Hong Kong ... her boyfriend's company say he will need to go into 14 days home quarantine when they return and they are now trying to change their flights and holiday plans and go west instead of east, but they are having a challenging time trying to rebook.

I dont think I would go to Hong Kong at the moment!

The virus is moving so fast and seems to have moved from the Far East to Europe, so travel advice seems to be changing each day. It's very difficult to keep up!

Yes, you're right Sally

I see today that the large airlines like Easyjets shares have fallen significantly and also the FTSE 100 as a whole is down a few percent. We have no holidays booked but have to say I would be having second thoughts if I was going on cruise for example

We are similar Lionel and most of the time we only go in the local vicinity. The only problem in Blighty is the weather! I havent seen the sun this year!

I agree with you both and as we have so much beautiful scenery in the UK why would we want to travel further afield? I wilt in the hot weather so our climate suits me fine. Wilf, might you be exaggerating just a little re our weather? 🙂 The forecast for my area (North Yorkshire) was for heavy snow today - I woke up to blue skies and sunshine although it was rather chilly! Not a snowflake in sight although I believe there were heavy snowfalls in some areas.
