We are due to go 25th June and I am just waiting for the flight to be cancelled. I don’t believe Brits will be allowed back into America by then - or that the FCO will lift their travel ban. I am gutted! Beyond gutted. We were going for 3 weeks to celebrate end of GCSEs and A levels and my DD was going to celebrate her 18th out there plus be there for Independence Day.
I’ve been planning so much for the trip but it’s not to be. I am planning to go next summer - although we will now be paying more as school holidays kick back in for us again! But it’s my 50th and it’s another year of saving so can plan even more special things.
Health comes first for everyone.
Stay safe!

We're due to go on 18th June, but have cancelled car hire and Villa (forfeited deposit) as I'm sure it won't happen. I've got until the end of May to re book if required (TUI), but realistically, our family can't do 2 holidays in 2021 as I booked flights for September 2021 back in November (TUI) so hoping for a refund.

Due to go 11th June, our holiday of a lifetime and all that. Realistically can’t see it happening.
Waiting on Aer Lingus to cancel the flight so we can rebook for next year, definitely safer than sorry.

We were flying with Virgin Atlantic, booked through Netflights.

VA updated their website on Friday, but Netflights still stated I could not rebook, so I sent a Twitter DM on Saturday and they replied this morning saying their website was wrong and I could rebook as per VA’s current terms.

The villa can be cancelled up to Wednesday for a 100% refund, and all other tickets are transferable or can be cancelled.

So we had a chat and decided to rebook for Sept/Oct this year.

Keep positive, it could still go ahead.
I'm due to go 1st July and if FCO allows us to travel to the US then I'll be on that flight out there.
I've just recovered from confirmed Covid 19, so I no longer have that worry hanging over me whether I could catch it or not.

Even if the FCO allows you to travel you still have to check with US Customs and Border protection to see their latest policy. Currently if you try to travel on your ESTA it will be cancelled with immediate effect.

We were due to go in June 2020 but have rescheduled for May 2021 without extra cost.

I moved our WDW booking from 16/5 to 17/7 as its the only time we can go for the next 3 years, I've not booked any flights IF we can go then I am expecting/hoping I will get good priced flights at the last minute. At the moment I think its 60/40 we won't go but here's hoping.

If July is cancelled then it will be a solo trip maybe November ... depends on what deals come out to attract the visitors.

If all the powers to be say I can travel then I will
