[1crackupboom] 19/1/2021 08:03

No flights this summer or next winter. This will bankrupt easy if nobody steps forward with cash

Yes any early relief seems to have gone out of the window.
Even if the UK gets vaccinated by the Spring, Europe is months behind so we are now looking at a dissapointing Summer.

All travel corridors suspended
The big policy announcement for the PM's appearance was that, from Monday, all arrivals to the UK from abroad will have to test negative and isolate for 10 days when they get here, regardless of where they come from.

Amid fears over new mutant strains coming into the country, triggered by the discovery of a worrying variant from Brazil in travellers in Japan, he said that from 4am Monday all travel corridors will be suspended and anyone coming to the UK must have proof of a negative test in the previous 72 hours.

Even then people must still isolate for 10 days - or five if they have another negative result during that period.

The new regime will be backed by tougher spot checks and stay in place until at least February 15

It's news of the huge increase yesterday of advanced bookings by the silver surfers that's driving it.

[vas007] 15/1/2021 09:18

Share price is moved up but very little or no paying passenger's .

[taurusthebear] 14/1/2021 18:48

Too much optimism in the price for me. Micawberism.

I'll stick to beaten down oilers and miners. :0)

Taurus the vaccine is capable of defending against the other strains of the virus that you mentioned.

That's the logic being used by all the over fifties creating the boom in holiday bookings ;-)

Groove, not really, no. Late September is still baking hot. Early October is warm/very warm. Late October is warm but often rainy with it. Early November is pretty unreliable and can be awful. I’ve played golf in the Med in Autumn every year for the last 30 years.

[taurusthebear] 14/1/2021 06:04

Yes, it is difficult to know which super-variant the world will be swamped by come summer. Brazilian, South African or another?

[groovemaestro] 13/1/2021 22:53

It's not really unforeseen is it, we're talking of a late summer that will extend due to pent up demand, It's still baking hot in the Mediterranean during early November.

I can see the land of milk and honey.

Just across that deep, deep canyon.

It doesn't look too wide from here.

Maybe I should jump...

A BUMPER SUMMER SEASON BECKONS

Travel demand becoming ‘more and more pent-up’, says easyJet holidays boss

Travel demand becoming ‘more and more pent-up’, says easyJet holidays boss
The boss of easyJet holidays says there is “no reason” why summer 2021 cannot be “decent” for tour operators as demand is getting “more and more pent-up”.

Speaking on a Travel Weekly webcast, chief executive Garry Wilson said he was “as optimistic as I’ve been since the first lockdown” in terms of the operator’s recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic.

He said people had “become very used to” lockdown restrictions now and while operators such as easyJet holidays have to “run around behind the scenes” to cancel and rebook customers, it is simply a case of going “through the process again” and “keeping communication going”

Wilson said a lot of customers are “pushing on” bookings, rather than cancelling, using credit to keep delaying. He added: “With the period we are coming into is that customers are moving it further into the future”.

He said he expected airline customers to travel “as soon as restrictions are lifted” but that holiday customers might be looking “post May half term”.

“We can pin our hopes on some return around Easter,” Wilson forecast.

“We all expected” a slower than typical January, said Wilson, but added: “I’m the most optimistic I’ve been since the first lockdown.

“With the vaccine being rolled out there is light at the end of the tunnel and people are thinking they can get away this summer and plan with much more surety.

“That’s the role of the industry, as tour operators, as travel agents, to give customers the platform of security and just be open and honest with them.

“They are getting as much information as we’re getting and the consensus would be that there’s no reason this summer is not going to be a decent enough summer that feels a bit more like normality.

However, he added: “That said, you would expect to take a huge amount of your bookings in the January period. We won’t take as many bookings as we would, clearly, in a normal turn-of-year, but I think that just delays that booking period through to February, March and April.”

He noted that the “massive spikes” in bookings when destinations are added to travel corridors, adding “that demand is becoming more and more pent-up the longer this lasts.”

So what?

Borrowing heaps of money with no realistic prospect of decent revenues over an unforeseen time horizon is not my idea of a good investment.
