It was booked for July.
They told us we had to go or cancel.
It’s not practical for us to go. The wife looks after a relative with terminal cancer. Two of our children have had bronchitis as babies both critically ill at the time the second was almost put into an induced coma she was so bad
We won’t be going anywhere
You have my sympathies and I understand your predicament. For July, I'd probably have had a good look at my travel insurance to see if there was any potential to claim against it now, or else hold my nerve in anticipation of the travel company cancelling it closer to the date - it's about 50:50 that they will, and if not you can probably find a friendly doctor to confirm to your travel insurers that you're not fit to travel with the nasty cold you developed the week before.
I have a holiday booked for November to USA. We're not going, but haven't told BA that yet - I'm fairly confident that between now and then there will be something that will allow me to cancel without charge - either a flight time change or something similar. If it gets to late October and nothing has happened, I'll stand the cancellation fee.
