Glad you got it sorted out in the end, Barry. However, my advice for everyone right now is to STAY PUT and park their arse at home, unless it's a genuine emergency, until things improve with the Covid situation.
I simply wouldn't entertain foreign travel otherwise right now, under any circumstances.

We are going to stay put, but hope to re-book for, say, February next year. The credit note is valid until 31.12.2021.
The dilemma we faced was if flights were still flying, then wanting to re-book might (with some carriers) not be possible. Lockdown here and very strict entrance restrictions at the destination, meant we had very good reasons to justify requesting a credit note. Wanting a refund would have been very difficult to justify and would not have been granted.
We only had a narrow time window to act. Obtaining the visa, whilst straightforward, is time consuming and expensive. To have obtained one in time to travel, and then not to have travelled would have been a waste of money.
Yeah, totally get that. However, glad you're staying put, as it's the most sensible and safest thing to do right now:)

So much for "lockdown" - never seen so many cars going through our village, considerable number with bikes on carriers.
I guess people are taking their exercise in the countryside :scratch:
It was quite a bit quieter here yesterday than usual. Nothing like as quiet as the previous lockdown though.
There appears to be little change here in London, apart from all hospitality services which are closed, as are clothing shops, hairdressers and nail bars. In general the streets are only a little quieter.
Mobile phone and computer shops are open, but all transactions are carried out at the door - there is no going inside. The same with the coffee shops.
not been near a shop in 9 months:lol: not likely to be for another 9 the way its going eitherQuote:

I do and have done so for about fifteen years. Not experienced any real disappointments and I'm quite fussy.Quote:
