INDEPENDENT UK \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>November is normally the ideal month to plan an escape from England. As autumn turns to winter and the skies darken, the travel industry obliges anyone who is able to take a holiday with low prices and ready availability.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Not this year.<\/p>\n

The government says: \u201cAvoid all non-essential travel by private or public transport.\u201d \u201cOvernight stays and holidays away from primary residences will not be allowed \u2013 including holidays in the UK and abroad.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cThis includes staying in a second home, if you own one, or staying with anyone you do not live with or are in a support bubble with.\u00a0\u201cThere are specific exceptions, for example if you need to stay away from home (including in a second home) for work purposes.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

There is no impact on inbound international travel, though of course existing quarantine rules apply.<\/p>\n

These are the key questions and answers based on what we know so far. Please note that they refer to people resident in England; it is not yet clear how rules in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland will interact or conflict with the new legislation.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

I am abroad at the moment. Must I come home?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

No, your trip should continue as normal. Assuming you are returning to the UK during lockdown, there is a good chance that your flight will operate as normal.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

However, the ban on outbound international travel means that airlines and holiday companies have cut back services to reduced their losses.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Johan Lundgren, chief executive of\u00a0easyJet<\/a>, said: \u201cFollowing the government\u2019s sudden announcement today, easyJet will operate its planned schedule until Thursday and will be reviewing its flying programme over the lockdown period.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is likely that much of the UK touching schedule [ie flights to, from and within the UK] will be cancelled during lockdown with our planned flying set to resume in early December.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will advise customers who are booked to travel over the next month of their options with a view to assisting customers to return to the country in the coming days.\u201d<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for\u00a0British Airways<\/a>\u00a0said: \u201cWe note the prime minister\u2019s announcement of a new national lockdown for England to slow the spread of Covid-19.<\/p>\n

\u201cLike other businesses, we are assessing the new information and we will keep our customers updated on any changes to their travel plans.\u201d Under European air passengers\u2019 rights rules, you are entitled to an alternative flight home \u2013 though given the extreme circumstances it may involve changing your trip by a day or two either way.<\/p>\n

I have an overseas holiday booked to leave before Thursday. Am I still able to fly out \u2013 and what happens when I come home?<\/strong><\/p>\n

You should \u00a0be able to travel as planned. The ban on holidays begins on Thursday 5 November. Trips before that should be unaffected; easyJet and Tui have confirmed they will operate schedules as planned up to and including Wednesday.<\/p>\n

But as indicated above, there is a significant chance that your homeward trip may be affected, assuming you are returning to the UK during lockdown.
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

After the Canary Islands were put on the \u201cOK\u201d list I booked a trip in November. Will it go ahead?<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to the government, no. You and thousands of other people are in an awful position. The transport secretary, Grant Shapps, opened up the Canaries for travel a week ago.<\/p>\n

According to easyJet\u2019s Johan Lundgren, \u201cBookings went through the roof\u201d. Many of those trips are for November, with many people desperate for a break.<\/p>\n

Those trips are now off. To travel on holiday anywhere abroad before early December will break the lockdown rules, and therefore you cannot go.<\/p>\n

I live in Scotland. Can I travel to an English airport such as Manchester or Newcastle to fly away on holiday?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Scotland\u2019s first minister, Nicola Sturgeon, has asked that people do not travel to England, or from England into Scotland \u201cunless absolutely essential\u201d. But there is no English legal obstruction to flying in or out of an airport if you live in a different country.<\/p>\n

Can I change planes at London Heathrow on a holiday trip from Scotland to Greece on 7 November?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A same-day transfer \u2013 such as Edinburgh via Heathrow to Athens on British Airways \u2013 appears acceptable. It is also likely that staying at an airport hotel will be allowed for Scottish travellers.<\/p>\n

I live in Wales. Can I fly out from an English airport on 9 November?<\/strong><\/p>\n

No. Wales is currently in what the government calls a \u201cfirebreak lockdown\u201d until one minute past midnight of Monday 9 November. Until then Welsh residents cannot leave their local area except for work and pressing reasons \u2013 not including holidays.<\/p>\n

The First Minister, Mark Drakeford, has set out the basic principle for what happens from 9 November to 2 December: \u201cDuring the month-long lockdown in England, travel will not be permitted outside Wales without a reasonable excuse.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Welsh government confirms<\/a>: \u201cThere will be no legal restrictions on travel within Wales for residents, but international travel should be for essential reasons only.\u201d<\/p>\n

I am booked to fly abroad in November for a medical procedure. Will I be able to travel?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The legislation<\/a>\u00a0says you are allowed to leave your home for \u201cdental services, opticians, audiology services, chiropody, chiropractors, osteopaths and other medical or health services, including services relating to mental health\u201d. There is no apparent restriction if this is to take place abroad.<\/p>\n

I have a holiday booked and paid for in November. As I can\u2019t travel, what are my rights?<\/strong><\/p>\n

That depends on how you booked the trip, and the attitude of the travel provider. The simplest case is if you booked a package holiday with one of the two giant companies,\u00a0Jet2<\/a>\u00a0Holidays or\u00a0Tui<\/a>.<\/p>\n

They will not take holiday makers abroad against government instructions. You will be entitled to a full refund within two weeks. If you have booked flights separately, then your rights depend on whether the flight actually goes ahead. Many flights are likely to be due to a near-complete collapse in bookings. Under European air passengers\u2019 rights rules you are then entitled to all your money back within a week.<\/p>\n

However, some flights will continue. British Airways, easyJet,\u00a0Ryanair<\/a>\u00a0and other carriers have planned to operate up to 30 per cent of their schedules in November, and many of those departures will continue \u2013 not least because there are British travellers across<\/p>\n

Europe who are expecting to be brought home at the end of their holidays. If both legs of the trip are operating, then you have no legal entitlement to a refund. However, British Airways and easyJet are likely to provide vouchers if you are unable to travel. Ryanair and Wizz Air will not, and instead encourage customers to postpone their trips.<\/p>\n

If I stand to lose money \u2013 either on an air ticket, or an accommodation booking \u2013 can I claim on travel insurance?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Probably not, though if the insurance policy was taken out before mid-March 2020, when the coronavirus pandemic became a \u201cknown event,\u201d then you may be able to claim for losses unrecoverable elsewhere.<\/p>\n

What will this do for the travel industry \u2013 and people who work in it?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The international travel ban will cause thousands more job losses, very sadly, and finish off some great holiday companies. There could also be casualties among airlines and possibly even UK airports. Mark Tanzer, chief executive of Abta, the travel association, said: \u201cToday\u2019s announcement that holidays in the UK and abroad will not be allowed under lockdown in England will mean a complete shut down for travel businesses which have already been severely damaged by the pandemic.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paul Charles, chief executive of the travel analysts The PC Agency, said: \u201cThe winter period is always tough for the travel sector but this is set to be ultra-cruel. I hope that Rishi Sunak recognises the extreme challenges ahead and offers support to the sector. It\u2019s going to need it.<\/p>\n

\u201cJob losses and company casualties are going to be widespread, sadly, and my fear is that lockdowns will be harder to ease than they are to switch on.\u201d Rory Boland, travel editor for\u00a0Which?<\/em>, said: \u201cMany will go bust. Others will again withhold customer money to bail themselves out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Can foreign nationals currently in the UK return home?<\/strong><\/p>\n

If they are temporary visitors there should be no problem (except the practical one of finding a means of leaving the UK if flights and ferries are cancelled en masse). If, though, their primary residence is in England, it is likely that they will be subject to the same regulations.<\/p>\n

Are UK holidays all off?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes, at least for people from England who were hoping to begin a break between 5 November and 2 December.<\/p>\n

The government says: \u201cThose currently on a domestic holiday will be allowed to finish their holidays.\u201d<\/p>\n

Customers unable to travel because of the lockdown are likely to be entitled to their money back. The\u00a0Competition and Markets Authority says: \u201cA\u00a0consumer will generally be entitled to a refund when they have paid money in advance for services or goods that cannot be provided because of the coronavirus pandemic.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, this may not apply to agreements reached where the provider has specified that, in the event of government action related to coronavirus, they will offer a credit note or postponement rather than a cash refund.<\/p>\n

At present residents of Wales and Northern Ireland are not allowed to travel beyond their borders, and Scotland does not want arrivals from any other UK nations.<\/p>\n
