I wouldn't have, as I was arriving 17 days before the wedding, but they have locked down France now, as of yesterday, so I have no choice!

It's my wife's 40th this year and had booked to take her away for a long weekend to Rome. That's gone straight down the tubes 
We have flights booked to Romania in July for a holiday, hadn't booked the Hotels yet, at what point are we eligible to get the money back?
ie: Does the flight have to be cancelled by the Airline and/or all travel is banned by the Govt etc ?

Dubai is still booked for next month although I am now wanting to cancel and get a refund. My mrs is cabin crew so having to take 8 weeks minimum unpaid leave which puts an extra strain on our holiday plans. We also had Milan booked in June so I doubt that's going to happen now.

Booked up for Orlando at end of May, doesn't look like I'll be going as Disney have closed parks and hotels.

Yeah it's shocking how people don't seem to get this.
My dads reluctantly cancelled a flight to Singapore on Saturday and then went and booked a flight to Papa New Guinea in about a months time. He doesn't seem to realise how long this is all going to last!

sneakysnail is moving to Thailand not going on holiday there, so slightly different.

Easter soon, hoping for better weather (dry is fine I’m not fussy), looking forward to lots of dog walks/bike rides with picnics in the fresh air with wife + kids.
Stay positive people and stay safe.

HEADRAT (yes I may have had a number of glasses of red wine, everything doesn’t seem quite so bad now)

i guess the flights will still be cancelled.
Cancelled by the airline and/or FCO. You'll just have to wait and see.
To be honest, it may be alright by July but who knows. We had been organised and booked a week off in the middle of June, was just thinking of where to go when this all hit. I'm still debating booking somewhere in case we still can go -- but doing it as a package so it's relatively straightforward to get a refund.

Just cancelled my trip to Columbia: it was going to be from 4th-16th April. Most of the hotels and the hire car was free cancellation, so I've only lost £60 on that. I doubt I'll see a penny back from the flights though, particularly as they were booked through eDreams and not directly with the airline, so that's about £1k down the drain
Also had a US road trip planned for the summer, but luckily nothing had been booked for it yet.

Absolute shambles. I think I said it in another thread. This will be a lost year. ):
Trip below postponed. Cancelled on Monday, Ba refunded miles and taxes minus a fee.
Was due to fly tomorrow but
a.) The whole area is locking down so will be dead
b.) Indonesia was rumoured to start locking down (they are, just came out but not doing much until Friday)

Yeh edreams lost their atol status a while back. You may have a chance of recovering some of it but doubtful.Just cancelled my trip to Columbia: it was going to be from 4th-16th April.

It shouldn't matter how you book your flights by the way. They just need to be under atol protection...and I'm pretty sure that edreams were ranked one of the worst for buyer protection by which last year.

dont think so. They've been flying out of italy until recently and continue to fly out of many other countrys. If you have a visa etc no symptoms on you're okay from the uk currently. From more heavily effected countrys you need a medical certificate and will have to isolate for 2 weeks. England will probably be that way in 10 days so and i'm prepared for that.
If I dont get out soon I'd be stuck here for months potentially so not fussed about 2 weeks in isolation. I'll just land 2 weeks earlier than i planned.
