Travel to United Kingdom in June.

I am not planning. I rephrase, I have a trip planned already. Concert are Zucchero in London and Cat Stevens in Ireland. I have all hotels, airfare, concerts, all booked up already.

The climate is changing on a daily and even hourly basis, no-one is in a position to give you any meaningful advice about the travel aspects in June.

We have two weeks booked for Mallorca in August and we're fully expecting not to be able to go. We're holding off making any more travel plans this year.

Thank you so much.

The peak here is anticipated for June, so I think the chances of travel and concerts happening is slim.

Concur with JC and Wally. There is no certainty as to what will happen in 2020. If the virus does abate later in the summer it could very well become more prevalent by winter, along with the common flu or any communicable virus for that matter.

Thank you all for your inputs. You are right my chances are very slim at this point. This trip was going to be my 60th birthday celebration and my husband's dream. We've never been in Europe and I booked all places to go, hotels, planes, etc in December. Nobody expected this.

I can only concur with the sentiments so far, but do recommend not taking any action at this time, why?

• Most airlines are overwhelmed with calls right now, why add to the load for something nearly three months out. The person flying next week would appreciate your patience. Delta for example is saying do not call until 72 hours before your flight right now.
• As the Government in the UK and Ireland impose further restrictions (cancelling events, limiting travel, closing some services, etc.) your ability to get a refund on any sunk costs are better. Right now, even though it may be the right thing to do, a place has no obligation to refund "non-refundable" deposit if you insist on cancelling at an early date. Even then, if I had a small deposit ($50) at a small B&B, I might consider not insisting on a refund. Those people are going to be struggling, they likely will not get another booking, I can take the hit.
• And lastly, though highly unlikely, maybe everything will be fine. You have time, so let it ride for now.

ccespedes, so sorry you had to cancel your first trip.

Life is a crap shoot. Always has been. Always will be.

Desire is to be in the U.K. in December. Not counting on it, but remaining optimistic helps the psyche.

I just got a message that the Tower of London is closing today and will be for awhile.

Paul has some very good points. I have a trip to Europe planned for July/August. I am sure this trip will not happen. I have canceled my refundable hotels on Booking.com and will wait for information regarding airline travel for that time-frame. Even if the virus calms down for a while, we are at the age group (50-65) that we would rather just stay home this summer. I could have waited on the Booking.com cancellations, but honestly, by canceling now it has helped alleviate some stress. I have family in the UK and I will miss not seeing them this year. We have to stay safe and make sacrifices.

We have a safari booked for 25 July-2 August in Kenya/Tanzania, but booked flights so we have a week in England prior to the safari and four days after the safari.

We have to decide prior to 25 April if we will go with the safari, since we have to pay in full or cancel. We still lose a $750 pp deposit, unless they will let us reschedule until next year.

We would lose some expensive flight costs, unless the airlines cancel more flights beyond the end of April.

A vaccine may be ready for us if we can put off the travel until next year.

There probably isn't a whole lot gained by canceling your reservations this far out.

First of all, the airlines are slammed with requests for assistance for people who are traveling in the next few days or next week. They do not need people who are looking at plans a few months out tying up their phone lines and keeping them from helping people with an urgent need.
Secondly, none of us can accurately predict what will happen next.
Finally, you may be more likely to get a refund if you wait for the airline to cancel your flight vs. canceling the reservation early. Just make sure you have a clear idea of the "cancel by" policies for all your reservations.

Thank you so much for your advice. I am still waiting to see what will happen.

As Jennifer said, they say the virus will peak mid June. The U.K. is in complete lockdown, my family in Wales said they have no idea how long the lockdown will be.
Traveling there in June wouldn’t be wise.

There is currently talk of the UK lockdown lasting 6 months which woud bring us to October. Currently there is insufficient information to determine what this means in terms of restrictions however it would be prudent to consider them as they currently are.

Pres. Trump just announced yesterday that Social Distancing rules will be in effect through April 30. He also said the peak is expected here to be in the next 2 weeks, personally I think he is being too optimistic as the virus is now spreading to Chicago, Detroit and other places in the center of the country.
I am going to Poland in September on a RS tour, hoping the trip is not cancelled. I’m hesitant to book my airfare with the e-credit Delta gave me from my cancelled trip to Italy. Situation is very fluid. For a planner like me, hard to fathom but I have to accept the unknown.

Thank you all fr your advice. I will wait until the end of April to see what happens.

Most of the replies are from 3 weeks ago, but as you can see, this stuff is changing rapidly. I had a trip booked for June 1, which I changed to now July 15, giving another 45 day buffer. 3-4 weeks ago, it was looking very grim, but now with talks of already "re-opening" certain states in the US, along with new data of cases / deaths that are significantly lower than what was original expected, I am optimistic life may not return to 100% normalization by July / August, but hopefully we all will at least have our freedoms back to travel.

Hi, I work (did work) for a theatre in the west end. Our union has advised us that theatres may not re-open till next year. It's likely to be the same for concerts in the UK

Be aware of the quarantine rules that apply to anyone arriving in England from
anywhere apart from Ireland
Currently it is a 14 day shelter in place.
