'By' April. Feeling optimistic again (for now!). 😁

I am so up and down with it all the time. It could well happen though. If they start rolling th vaccine out next month as planned then that can only be a good sign

Interesting article here...

The Qantas CEO saying they will only allow international travel to passengers who have been vaccinated and he expects other carriers to do the same.

“We are looking at changing our terms and conditions to say for international travellers, we will ask people to have a vaccination before they can get on the aircraft."

“I think that’s going to be a common thing talking to my colleagues in other airlines around the globe.”

we're in the same position - originally due to go last May. We pushed it back to September then again to the end of April 2021.

I keep thinking there is a possibility we will go, but I'm not making any decisions until January. Hopefully it will be clearer by then the progress of the vaccine rollout.

I'm booked for March so thats even more optimistic

I'd wait a bit before cancelling. Things are moving in the right direction so you may just get there in April!

I will feel more confident once that starts, but won't be sure of April until they confirm we can travel without a vaccine certificate. I don't think the under 50s will be vaccinated before Easter. Overall though i'm feeling more optimistic.

They have also announced that from December you can 'test out' of the 14 day quarantine after 5 days.

We are rebooked for 5th April 2020. Hate this not knowing what will happen. Hopefully in the new year it will become clearer.

We were booked for 30 April but have just moved to mid June. After the update from Boris last night I was starting to get anxious that it wouldn’t happen and DVC availability was starting to disappear so we moved our flights and bookings today.
