Do you expect international travel to resume...

... on a large scale by the end of this year? Would you confidently book a trip to a foreign country for November or December?
Posted on 7/25/20 at 5:57 pm to Globetrotter747
Nope.

Won’t be on a large scale until mid next year at the earliest... The restrictions in the meantime are going to be a pain in the arse.
HK just declared anyone from the US will have to have proof of a negative Rona test within 3 days of flying.

Yeah.
I found a good deal to Japan for November with no change fees if booked before the end of July. I am thinking about booking it and if it doesn't work out for November just changing it to another time.

At this point, I'm shooting for May 2021 based on COVID and weather for where I think may be open.
I'm just waiting on ANA to extend the travel fee waiver for my Japan flights in November. No way they will be open. Then I can rebook for somewhere else.
Was an award booking and want to avoid a 9,000 point penalty which is about 3-$400.
In the last two years I've had to cancel Myanmar/Laos/2nd time to Bangkok and now Japan for black swan events. Sucks since I was traveling around starting a family.

I'd be shocked if they are open by then.
I search for Japan news all the time, see post above why. They are freaking out about domestic travel right now. There are maybe a few hundred "foreigners" getting into the country a month who are likely almost all Japanese. They've been talking about opening to business travelers from a few countries in their area of the world for well over a month and still haven't. No one knows anything, but Japanese citizens posting on the internet are all leaning towards no way in 2020 at all.
I'd plan countries absolutely reliant on tourism. Maldives, Indonesia, Thailand,etc.

At this point I’d punt on this year.
I’d say there’s a good chance after November election of this magically disappearing but who knows.

I don't think our election is applicable to the rest of the world.

Let me ask this board this question. Do you think it's sensible to book great flight deals you're almost certain won't work out for the original dates but can change them with no fees at a later time?

If you're entirely flexible I think it could be OK, which from your prior posts I believe you are. Just don't book with an airline that is going bankrupt
I also think deals will be out there when it's a little more obvious things will be open, so I don't think you'll miss out too much if you wait, unless you're flying international RT for like $200.

Disagree completely. Not 100% certainly, but there’s only a few places in the world that broadcast news worldwide and the USA and Britain are the two big dogs. If American news was far more up beat about the virus, it could have a significant effect especially on smaller countries and places that aren’t top of the first world list. Japan certainly wouldn’t matter, but travel to say somewhere like Columbia or Argentina or Thailand could certainly.
Especially considering the entire world thinks the USA is now the ‘epicenter’ of the disease thanks to our media.

Delta cancelled my October Asia flights (I was also supposed to go 2 months ago). 2020 is definitely shot. I'm thinking next May may work out, but even based on the news I'm reading it doesn't look hot

I’ve had a November trip to New Zealand booked since February and it seems more and more doubtful every day.

October trip to Caribbean has been cancelled

Traveling to the entire Caribbean? Joking, but where were you going? Many islands are open for tourists. I know a couple very recently cracked down on US tourists, specifically the Bahamas.

TCI. Turks just opened borders this week too. Might just be the resort where we’re staying, but it didn’t sound like it.

What does everyone think about Mexico? Looking for a decent honeymoon destination and there are some solid spots I’ve seen recommended do this Baird. Not what we had hoped for but will just save and go somewhere farther next year.
Any domestic that are worth while during that time?

I spoke with a client last week who’s delaying an opening, they’re an international destination, until next spring.
I don’t expect travel to be normal before then.
Travel restrictions will be in force through the end of the year, and hotels will be in cost saving mode, if they’re open.

Depends on the country and what you mean by “confidently”. I recently scheduled a trip to Aruba in late September. Flights and resort are refundable and we don’t plan on leaving the resort while there.
I’m calling it 50/50 if we actually go. But if resort is fully operational and flights don’t cancel, I’m there
