Re: FMUKCON - 2020 - Glasgow - 28 March
This is really difficult for me, on one hand I can't afford to p*y my bills if I have to self isolate. But on the other I risk passing it on!! I have always went to work whilst suffering from colds/flu. My mum and dad are in their mid 70's, my mum still works and both of them are not phased one iota about this virus. A lock down will take this out of our hands! I'm not about to cancel Glasgow until we have no other choice. Yes the travelodge don't look to be budging at all. I'm also booked for Italy on the 26th April haha yes I know! We prob won't be going!!
Preferred cinemas: Any in Edinburgh!

Re: FMUKCON - 2020 - Glasgow - 28 March
Yes, that is great news asamaic! Glad the travelodge have came up with some solution although a refund really should be an option too! I don't mind postponing, but to when, guess we'l play it by ear lol.

It's out of our hands now. No more social activities for a while.
We can still video chat on Hangouts, Facebook or WhatsApp though.
Stay well and healthy everyone!

Re: FMUKCON - 2020 - Glasgow - 28 March
I think I can rebook my trip (but I can't cancel any of it).
Currently the Caledonian Sleeper are offering rebookings from 1 May 2020 to 31 December 2020.
May seems wildly optimistic, and I've heard August bandied about as a month when things will still be bad.
I know it will be probably be cold, but I'm thinking late October/early November? Those of us who are allowed to rebook will need to make a provisional rebooking before 28 March or we will lose everything. Any other thoughts?
(And I know, it might get postponed again!)

Re: FMUKCON - 2020 - Glasgow - 28 March
Avanti trains are only bookable up until the end of August. Travelodge can be amended until the end of the year but you have to p*y the difference. The July/August prices are more expensive. It looks like Premier Inn have also allowed changes to non flexible bookings.asamaic wrote: ↑Sun Mar 15, 2020 8:24 pmWell, I've already booked my travel and accommodation for Glasgow and it's all non-refundable, so there's no point in me cancelling anything at this stage.
Caledonian Sleeper are not allowing any changes/refunds - but I do wonder if the SNP will have leant on them by the end of March. LNER are offering full refunds!
Avanti West Coast are allowing a change, but only the one change, and no refund. A bit difficult to amend a booking when we have no idea when the worst will be over, and tickets really far into the future have not yet been released.
Travelodge are not offering any changes/refunds. Hilton are, even on advance non-refundable bookings. TBH, I'm not sure Travelodge will bow to any pressure.
The decision may well be taken out of our hands anyway by the end of March - I'm half-expecting a lockdown by then.
Saturday nights at Travelodge in July/August are around £70-80.
But then we could all end up changing and still not be able to go on the new dates, who knows how all this will pan out.
What do people think?

Re: FMUKCON - 2020 - Glasgow - 28 March
Oooh! Travelodge update, everyone!
The fine print says we have to rebook by 31 December 2020, but this is a big improvement on what they were offering previously (having to actually choose a date and hope for the best).
See here: https://www.travelodge.co.uk/about/vouc ... onditions/You can cancel your Saver Rate booking and receive a Saver Rate Cancellation Voucher within a few working days after cancellation, redeemable for the same value. Please visit the Manage Booking section of our website to cancel your booking. Please see Saver Rate Cancellation Voucher terms and conditions – for more details click here

Re: FMUKCON - 2020 - Glasgow - 28 March
Looks like Carol and I will still be going as private hotel won't allow us to cancel and with getting the train tickets so cheap any future booking would be a large hike in cost.
