This subject came up only the other week when all of us said there is [*no way*] we would book an overseas holiday or cruise until we were guaranteed 100% money back if the trip was cancelled due covid. Vouchers are no good. There are too many restrictions with them as to when you can go and locks you into one airline/ cruise company. Cash speaks loudest, and gives you options.
Secondly long quarantine periods at either end of the trip has to go. Just a waste of a holiday if you have to be locked away even for a week. Thirdly masks have to go. To have to suffer wearing one for around 30 odd hours to Europe for example which is what it is once you add in the time at airports each end and in transit if required is just too long. ...... That is not a holiday, it is a punishment.
I don't think we are alone in our views as I suspect the majority of tourist feel the same ...... Sorry if the above is not what you wanted to hear but that is the truth of it.
Faaaarkin whinging caaarnt...... Finally we might/maybe get staff travel seats that are not economy...
Just fork off to your little island with yacht/mansion and/or hobbit village you've been living on for 70 years .... For FFSakes !!!
Both of youse such trolls , eat yr own decks
