Allen ★ Posted March 12, 2020 Share #1 Posted March 12, 2020 Like real cheap. A buddy has to go to Colorado for work (engineer who works on big machines that build other machines). $70 round trip. $349 Atl to Honolulu. Hotels are dirt cheap too.

Indy Posted March 12, 2020 Share #5 Posted March 12, 2020 Yeah a guy on another forum I am on was bragging about cancelling all of his spring break plans and then rebooking them and how much money it was saving him. Good for him, but not a risk I'd be willing to take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bikeguy Posted March 12, 2020 Share #6 Posted March 12, 2020 Three days ago i was talking to a guy who was planning a trip to Italy. I suggested to him, he probably should consider another destination. I guess he wasn't following the news. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s all sorts of confused on what to do right now. He figures it will be over by then but doesn’t want to risk it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisL Posted March 12, 2020 Share #8 Posted March 12, 2020 My daughter is talking about going to Hawaii in October as the fairs & hotel prices are down. She wants us to go with but I would rather save our money for a Holland trip next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told the guy I was talking to, this would be the time I would consider travel insurance or refundable tickets, which ever is cheaper. That normally wouldn't be on my check list for a trip, but I'd consider it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddmaxx ★ Posted March 12, 2020 Share #10 Posted March 12, 2020 Still looking at $3500 JFK to Shenzhen. I wonder if they are charging hazardous duty pay. You can get there for $500 but that trip is BDL to Toronto to Vancouver to Tokyo, across Tokyo by train to other airport, Tokyo to Shenzhen. 53 hours and an almost guarantee of being exposed to virus.

Further Posted March 12, 2020 Share #12 Posted March 12, 2020 My work has instituted a 3 week away from work if you have been to a virus hotspot. A buddy has a trip booked to Italy When I asked if he was still planning go, he said "hell yeah, an extra 3 weeks vacation".....but I don't think it is paid.....

Not sure how true that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how true that is. It depends. Mostly not. Airlines are changing policies and some are offering no fee changes. There are cancel for any reason policies. Most policies do not offer a ticket refund because you change your mind or your plans change. https://www.outsideonline.com/2410034/coronavirus-travel-insurance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was talking about canceling but I think it is worth waiting a little more before staying home. I am thinking that we could make the go/no-go decision in mid May.

maddmaxx ★ Posted March 12, 2020 Share #16 Posted March 12, 2020 One group at womaxx's school appears to have lost 98,000 dollars because they canceled. No, the ducked buying insurance because of the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Idaho seems safer. Glad you found proof of that. But it won't be insulated for long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bikeguy Posted March 13, 2020 Share #20 Posted March 13, 2020 Actually Idaho is one of the 6 states WoBG and I need to visit from out bucket list to visit all 50 states. I'm thinking, next year may be the time for that trip. The trip would be to Idaho, Montana, and North Dakota. (3 states on the list) Lots of places we would visit for hiking. I'm still working on convincing my wife to visit Mississippi and Louisianan and then take the the long way home thru Georgia, this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
