My UMC sob stories over travel:
- My wife and her friends have a "Girls Trip" to London (2 weeks) planned for early May on American Airlines and British Airways. Currently, such a flight would be banned. I don't see the situation in the UK getting better by May given the UK government's decision to pursue a policy of herd immunity rather than quarantine. I hope to get a voucher for the value of her flights.
- During my wife's "Girls Trip", I have a short (4 day) trip to Lexington, KY, which I picked because it was the cheapest place to fly to that I hadn't already visited. I paid something like $300 for airfare on United and $200 for an Airbnb. I hope to get a voucher for the flight and a full refund for Airbnb. Lexington has actually been hit pretty hard by the virus.
- In September, the wife and I have a big 2-week trip planned to Poland, Belarus, and the Ukraine on American Airlines, LOT Polish Airlines, and Belavia Belorussian Airlines. Poland and Ukraine have shut their borders entirely to foreigners at this point. I hope this trip actually happens. If I'm still alive in September I will need a vacation badly.
