    Yes, short term there’ll be some desperation which will create some really cheap offers.

    That said, this thread assumes we’ll be allowed to travel to other countries of our choice. Spain and Greece have ****ed the U.K. clean off as it stands.

    Probably go to Aberystwyth in September. It’ll rain, with any luck.

    Still booked to go to Prague in October, for the Velka Pardubice (Czech Grand National).

    Supply & Demand innit. If Barry, Paula and the kids can still afford to go to Gran Canaria then they’re the bloodline for low cost airlines so they have to keep the fares low to keep the volumes they need.

    The real question is, would you get on a plane that’s been stood on a runway for 4 months gathering dust?

    My point is, they’ll restrict the volume and drive up the margin mate.

    If we're going to meet our carbon neutral targets then cheap air travel has got to go unfortunately. It's controversial, because we all like to jet off somewhere nice, for as little as possible, me included. But a bit like driving, you have to disincentivise it and make things like trains cheaper and more accessible.

    It's ludicrous, that I can fly to New York for around £180, but a Train to Manchester would cost me around £220

    As for holidays, we're just going to have some local van adventures this summer. There's a ton of stuff within about 40 miles of where I live to explore. Just me, the missus, the little un and the dog. Camping out in the van, cooking on the gas burner and sitting out watching the sunset and the stars :)

    Almost booked return flights to Budapest in September for £45 this morning but still umming and ahhing. All a bit of a gamble at the moment really.

    Can you recccomend any decent towns to stay in with little man? Not sure the holiday parks will be open but wouldn't mind a trip to Cornwall in the autumn.

    Hoping to do Wales later this year too seeing as I was supposed to be in Snowdonia right now <wah>
