Ayrshire Chris Posted February 6, 2020 Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 53 minutes ago, kalifire said: Another Melbourne resident with a Cathay flight booked for June, here. I booked through a third party, whose terms say that if the airline cancel the flight they'll provide an alternative, or the agent might be able to secure a refund. The issue is, that can take weeks and if the airline goes under, I'm not sure they'll be refunding anything. If I'm looking at having to shell out for another flight, I'm potentially looking at no Glastonbury as it would be phenomenally expensive. Hopefully it won't come to that. Really hope everything works out Ok for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knew Cathay had such a huge market to exploit - they should get some Melbourne to Bristol flights going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying that is out of control in Europe/UK is a bit too much. How many people have been diagnosed today with different virus in the UK, how many people have died of of China for Coronavirus?

People die of natural causes every day, and the systems can cope with that. When China is needing to build massive hospitals in a week and it's still not enough so they're now requisitioning hotels, etc, that's chaos the existing systems can't cope with. It'd be worse here. We have waaaaaay greater expectations of being able to access healthcare. Edited February 6, 2020 by eFestivals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nal Posted February 6, 2020 Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 I'd be very surprised if the festival goes ahead this year now. More than likely it'll be cancelled. Probably next year too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nal, god bless his miserable little socks, is well known around these parts for being an absolute prophet of doom and misery on the annual weather thread. This is a natural extension of his cheery demeanour. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
