Just managed to book a direct flight from man - mco over the easter hols for 2192 total for the 4 of us! (no bags - will need to pay for 2 at the airport) Was really happy with that. Expedia used the amount we had already paid (1726) and we just paid the difference. The 1726 was for flights with 1 stop (again no bags) so I was pleased to get a direct flight this time. Fingers crossed all will be ok for April x

We booked a BA flydrive for Easter, direct flights and SUV. £1650 for 2 adults. It's about the normal price we'd pay for Easter I think so not too bad.

Thinking about late April into May next year but worried given the mrs has bad asthma...
Really not sure - we were kind of stuck with having to book next year as all of the elements of our holiday were DIY and making it very difficult to get money back for everything I hope there will be a vaccine but if not i'm sure there will be lots of measures in place to help things carry on as normal.

We've booked.
28th March - 15th April, 18 nights.
Flights - LHR - TPA, Delta, £552 each - Dial a Flight. Already showing on Delta's website, so we've already picked our seats!
Car - Intermediate SUV, £650 - Dial a Flight.
Hotel - Extended Stay America, hotels.com, £1254 - fully refundable.

Flights and car are more expensive than we wanted to pay but they are flexible, so if anything cheaper comes up, we can switch. We'd also like to travel out on the 27th, so hopefully something will come up. We're just not sure if prices are going to go up or down.

This is how we felt - there's usually some sort of trend with it all but this year there's just no telling when prices will change. I am hopeful that by April all will be settled...not booking our villa until a bit nearer the time as I know we were so lucky this time to get all of our villa money straight back. That's great that your hotel is fully refundable.
