The reality should now be hitting home that regular holidays to Europe for the first part of summer are just not going to happen. If we’re lucky, things may start to come back in June but given the aim of the UK is to push the peak to June, how many countries want British tourists.

Spoke to Jet2 today regarding a holiday to Portugal next week. I realise that the FCO have not issued a do not travel notice. I asked could I rebook for later in the year. I was told I could change the holiday to any departure up to April 2021. I would have to pay any difference in the price which I expected. I was then given the hammer blow when they told me there would be a admin fee if £150 pp. So it would cost me £300, what a rip off. I expected to pay something to change dates but £300 is ott.

If I were you I'd go, enjoy your trip, take the usual sensible hygiene precautions (the sorts of things you'd do anyway, irrespective of the Covid-19) and the likelihood is you'll come back perfectly OK. You are likely to contract Covid-19 whether you go to Portugal or stay in UK.

So what does that leave?
ALC, BCN, AGP, FAO, CDG/AMS, PMI, TFS, FUE, LPA, FNC, NCE. I would imagine a lot of parked aircraft if that’s the case, especially since most of those listed aren’t even daily at some bases.
isn’t Mainland Spain supposed to be closing sometime soon too?

According to Jethros, Jet2 will only be leasing 2 A330s from AirTanker rather than the original 3.
I suspect they may be trying to get out of other leases ASAP but this may not be possible at this late stage.

Tenirfe had 5 covid-19 cases and 700 guests are/were in lock down on Adeje.
TUI turned back 2 a/c en route to Tunisia as there is a now a ban on travel there. So Tunisia is also off the list.
The a/c I think popped into Palma for fuel before heading back to UK.
Not sure if Jet2 had ventured back to Tunisia??

Nothing formal will happen (cancellations, refunds, insurance) until the the FCO travel advice changes - that still stands at Madrid and a few communities in the north. I don't think Jet2 were in Tunisia, either.
Yes thanks I just checked the Jet2 route map and they do not go to Tunis nor anywhere in North Africa.
Re Jet2 Hols charging a £150pp admin fee to change a holiday I have to say that is a bit steep & mean - I have just had to cancel a huge trip and almost everyone has refunded me in full for all my arrangements - I would defer back to them asking them nicely to consider their loyal customers and that many Operators (Cruise and Tours) are now NOT charging folk to rebook.

Not realty the right forum for this post . However, an update to an earlier post about the Canary islands. Total covid-19 cases are 63 with 1 death. Tenerife has 43 cases of which 1 is serious.
