MASTER Cancel Travel b/c of COVID-19 Questions Thread

Would you make any NEW flight reservations? I was set to tag on some personal days at the end of a work trip next week to attend my cousin's wedding. My work trip just got cancelled- so the choice is 1) book a flight just to attend the wedding, or 2) don't go. Domestic location where there are no cases (yet), bride/groom have no plans to cancel. My parents and the rest of my family are still going.

Again, barring any changes in my health, etc., I would have continued with the original plan without question. But now I feel weird scheduling a new flight! And strangely the flights to that location are still expensive so I guess others are not cancelling.

It can be their wedding gift!!

Seriously, they should have a reverse-destination wedding - put it online, party when things go back to normal.

My kid's college closed. Getting up at 4 AM and driving up, and we will drive back same day - no hotels. Will be over 15 hours total. He can share the drive.

I'm with you PP!

Seriously?

DC needs to quarantine in a room in your house, avoiding the family. A hotel will expose others.

You just confirmed my decision to get DC at a closing college all in one day despite the long drive.

I live in a college town that just closed. There are tons of traffic on the road. College kids are shopping. College kids are drinking. College kids are
going to the beach. College kids are going to restaurants. Traffic on the roads is busy as everyone is out entertaining themselves.
College staff is getting paid and not working so why not.

Insanity reigns. I will be embarrassing my kid with mask and gloves Can stay with family 1/2 way if need be on the way home.

Because that would be a SANE decision.

Yeah. A lot has changed since this thread was first posted. If anyone is still asking the question "should I go?" then the answer is No.

I'd put money on the schools closing at some point in the immediate future. At this point, I think they're just preparing as much as possible so they can close schools with as little disruption as possible.

THIS

And I say this as someone who was still planning to travel abroad in early April a few days ago.

I am having doubts about domestic travel for spring break in April now and I have been VERY cavalier about this and thought everyone was overreacting. But our government has no control over this at all. It’s going to spread like crazy.

I live in Colorado and our spring break begins Friday. I have friends going everywhere from Mexico to NZ to Florida and none have cancelled. I fly Saturday with my kids. My guess is that they will announce a move to online education over spring break- there’s no way 1500 kids who were just all over the country will be back to school a week from now IMO.

Frontier's call line keeps hanging up on me when trying to transfer to an agent. Are they seriously allowing for free flight changes or is this a gimmick for the press because all fee change waiver has to be through their phone line.
