I was super confident that we will be going but like you, I’m not so sure now. My SIL who works in the NHS says they expect Nov - Feb/March to be the worst months as usual and to travel before we hit it (if possible/allowed).

Having said that, we managed to get to Dubai in December 4 days before tier 4 and the Alpha/Kent variant reared its ugly head and I never would have thought that would be possible so I’m keeping everything crossed and holding on to any positivity I can!

I’m genuinely curious why the NHS would be under pressure during the winter months. Everybody will be fully jabbed and the most vulnerable will have had their booster jabs. In Greater Manchester there are currently 120 people in hospital with the Delta variant. Only 2 of those are fully vaccinated. 93 have had no jab. Compelling data. The vaccine works, so I don’t see an issue with travel in Jan/Feb. Indeed, I am very confident our September trip will go ahead.

We also do have a trip booked for February. 6 nights on Miami Beach then a 5 night cruise on the Magic. It will happen folks, keep the faith

Flu season and other respiratory illnesses and not everyone will have had the vaccine.
We have always had issues with busy hospitals in winter, way before covid.

I know that, but it’s never stopped international travel before! And because of the vaccine, Covid admissions will be minimal. If I’m reading some of these comments correctly, it would indicate some people think international travel would only be possible in summer months going forward. Everyone is entitled to their opinion of course, but if we’re not travelling by Jan/Feb, there will be no travel/aviation industry left to speak of, and it would be an economic disaster.

I am very positive really that things will be open this year so Jan/Feb 2022 should be all fine.

Let's hope they never close the borders ever again!
