Imagine not exclusive any more but all that matters is that they play.

There's already one lol. But people keep switching between this and the new one 🤔

My Ryanair flights have been canceled! 

Hoping my Vueling flights are cancelled soon. They are offering me vouchers to change but would rather a refund.

To anyone booking hotels, please make sure it's refundable.

There is a rumour going round people connected to Glastonbury (and it's just a rumour, not substantiated) that Glastonbury have decided the potential for 2021 being cancelled is too high a risk and so they have already given up on 2021 and are planning for 2022 instead. 

Primavera have a different setup so will continue to plan for 2021 but, if true, it does highlight the perceived risk.

I had a non refundable booked  First of all no real help - no refund possible, then after I laid on the sob story they offered to rebook for August, again I emailed ...then they offered to rebook for anytime in 2020, so again I replied that wasn't much help and they have rebooked for next years date  Pays to persevere and be polite.  Fingers crossed the lineup is the same.

My Vueling flights from Gatwick were cancelled this morning. Full refund offered.

Yep. Just got the email  

[Gilgamesh69]

I wasn't sure whether to go for a refund or just change the flights. But surely a refund is the best option, in case the airline goes bust or whatever?

My Vueling flight from Amsterdam was cancelled last week. They offered me a re-booking within 60 days (as useful as an ashtray on a motorbike), or a refund. I asked for the refund. I'll hear in a week or two how that goes.

[xxialac]

If the airline is even vaguely shaky, I wouldn't book a flight in the next period. Ryanair look to be the most solid outfit out there.

Flights should get very cheap for a while as airlines desperately try to get people back in the habit again. Expect £1 flights to be back soon for the autumn season in particular.

I expect the chosen 'refund' never materialised and they've flipped you into a voucher. Option to call...and not get through.

Really devious behaviour. They're the real corporate crooks of all this.

[daveje]

Yeah, the first email giveth, and the second email taketh away. Refund turned into a 'flight credit'.

It's like money in the bank!

My flights for June still haven’t been cancelled. 
 

Plus we stupidly (in hindsight) booked flights for August thinking that would go ahead and they’re non refundable. Messy.

I'd still go. There are worse places to spend a weekend than an untouristy for the first time in decades Barcelona and a warm time of year! I expect the UK quarantine to be over by then.

I’d imagine Spain will still be requiring people entering to quarantine for 2 weeks though! Tempted to move them flights to Primavera next year hmm.

The two week quarantine ends on July 1st here. I think it will probably be a good time to visit. Tourist numbers will be down, and many locals leave town in August, so it should be fairly quiet. 

Bars and terraces are reopening this week, and I suspect, by then, we will be as closer to normal as we are going to get in the near future.

I think I'm right in saying Lightning Bolt and Idles are additions from this years lineup. I'm very happy with those 2.

Yep. The utter w*nkers sent me an email confirming that little trick yesterday. I plan to go next year , roll over tickets - but would rather my money back and flexibility of airline for rebooking
