Then you will be a disappointed camper this year. On the upside you’ll have more money👍🏻. Let’s hope the break up from our European cousins doesn’t have Brit Vehicles blockaded in the ports. . .Like the Trucks☹️

Think you are mixing issues around our exit from the EU and peoples concerns over safe travel, in relation to Covid, but my feeling is we will, if we wish, be able to travel by the summer.

We could all be masquerading as, in general, more senior members of society but if not we are but a small concern for the industry as summer approaches.

The expectations then will be that accomodation will be at full capacity and the prices will be at their highest and family accomodation is what will be bring in the most money.

BF have said that Brits account for 85% of their passengers and this is just one example of many that show our business is wanted and wanted as soon as possible.

Its then for us to decide if we feel it will be safe for ourselves.

The CEO of BF recently emphasised the point about their dependence on passenger traffic when although thanking the freight users for their continued support  said "useful though it has been we are primarily a holiday company" (I paraphrase slightly).  However back to the decision  about travel  we wouldn't hesitate to go if we are allowed. We are vaccinated and an outdoor sojourn in the Landes forests holds no fears for us.

Last year, following the June deferment, I'd hoped to travel around May/June this year. As things stand at the moment, even a late summer/early autumn one looks a bit iffy. Looks like 2021 is going to be an 'over there' write-off like last year.

Austria and a few others saying some countries have been given more than their fare per capita share and also accusing other EU countries of going outside the EU to sign secret deals.
