Holiday advice

So the government waits until people have cancelled including me for October.
Set of tory twats.
 
Got to give credit to Travel Republic here. Always managed our expectations in a very clear way and refunded our money a week earlier than that first promised.
They've been brilliant.
 
Anyone been all inclusive in the last few months or know what the deal is with all inclusive resorts at the minute?

Do you still have the ability to help yourself to food and drinks throughout the day or are places operating a table service now?

found a cracking deal to the all inclusive we been to a few times in Lanzarote so just wondering what everyone’s recent experiences are?
In Greece they had glass screens an people serving you
You went up as us usual
 
Just out of interest for those booking holidays, what would you have to do if it went back on the quarantine list whilst there? My missus is a Teacher and it’s been made pretty clear that going on holiday and having to quarantine would not be seen favourably. We just can’t risk it. She isn’t keen on me fucking off for a week on my Todd !

If you can’t afford to quarantine don’t go abroad in my opinion. I was in Portugal when it changed but had already discussed with my employer so did two weeks working from home. If the flights are cheap book one home that lands before 4am Sunday.

Yes we have taken that decision not to travel. Just can’t risk it. I could work from home for 2w but she obviously can’t. Means we have to go in Summer only really and would have to leave 2w before she goes back. We did a staycation this year and it rained 3 out of the 4 days and I was sat there thinking why I have paid a grand for this!

There are ways you can mitigate your risk.

Don't go for longer than a week.
Outbound travel on a Friday or Saturday covers you for the Thursday announcements before and during your stay if doing a week.
Book last minute.

Ultimately with so much uncertainty kicking about booking anything comes with a degree of risk, but no risk no reward as the saying goes.

Staycations are never worth it mate, shit weather and usually have to drive hours a day and not relax. I'd keep a keen eye on the figures and pick a relatively lower risk country abroad, so you and the Mrs can get a break from work.

Ah I hadn’t factored in the Thursday announcement. Do they normally give you 2/3 days notice so rules only come in maybe Sunday ? If so could maybe go Friday to Friday booking at short notice.
