[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I've managed to obtain a full refund from one of the hotels with whom I'd booked a nonrefundable reservation. Very grateful.  The other hotel offered me the option to reschedule within the next six months, but I've responded that I cannot travel to Dubai given the current situation and I continue to request a full refund. I'm hopeful they'll come through. Our airline is offering refunds for all flights through March 22 - ours is a few days after that. I called and they said try back in a week. I've also gotten refunds for various excursions booked, including a desert safari, night golf, Dinner in the Sky, Burj Khalifa and tour of Old Dubai. So - about 1/2 of our $25k vacation has been returned and I feel optimistic about getting the other half. If not directly from the vendors themselves, then I'll escalate to my credit card.

Really sad not to visit this beautiful and exciting place. But after this, I can't see us taking our children there, likely ever. Feeling very lucky that we were not there when this all broke out. What a nightmare for those who are stuck and scared.

I am totally worn down by this relentless winter and the kids have 11 days off for spring break, so now figuring out where to go that's warm and not in a war zone. Suggestions welcome.[/quote]

I fully expect you'll get the airfare back, and maybe a few other refunds.

Since it's before hurricane season, can you just go to the Caribbean or somewhere like Belize or Costa Rica?[/quote]
