I’m not sure what the extended UK/Ireland ban covers or the effective dates. Is it a ban of all air traffic from the UK, or just return flights? What date does the flight ban end, is in April 12th or April 16th?
Same rules as from Europe. Only US citizens and green card holders are allowed in. Also some corner case people like noncitizen spouses-families and diplomats. 14 day quarantine. In practice, airlines are going to cancel all their flights rather than lose money flying empty planes. It’s nominally for 30 days but I wouldn’t bet on it.
I have a Virgin Atlantic LHR-BOS ticket on Delta metal and a Delta frequent flyer BOS-LHR ticket on Virgin Atlantic metal in early May. I’m hoping Delta waives the $150 per ticket fee to put the miles back into the Delta program. I’m hoping Delta and Virgin Atlantic get bailed out by the US and British governments or all of that will be worthless. Any airline that doesn’t get bailed out is going to go bankrupt.
I also have Eurostar London-Paris tickets. I presume I will get an eVoucher. Again, without government bailout, that would also probably be worthless.

We’re holding outbound tickets for a flight to LHR during the ban, but our return flight is after the ban ends. We also have Aer Lingus tickets we bought to avoid a long ferry ride. I too am hoping they just cancel the flights, but a wink-wink nod-nod undisclosed bailout deal might just let the major airlines keep the flights on the roster and force travelers to take a voucher instead of getting a refund.
Scheduled to leave Thursday for Jamaica, family get together 5 couples all on my “dime”. All inclusive resort. We will make a go or no go decision on Monday afternoon. Planned this a year ago. Sucks.

I hear you. Not as extensive as yours but booked a 5 star resort and first class to Cancun in May for my 45th bday. I don't see it happening.
Nothing to do with travel but spent all the money on Celine Dion tickets for 3/24 a year ago. Postponed..
I have vacations booked, air tickets purchased and hotel reserved for a 3 weeks family vacation trip to Australia, but that's in OCTOBER later this year. We plan to stay in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne.
Let's hope things get better ASAP. Glad that I purchased a premium insurance to secure my trip.
This may cancel my first flight and last flight. I expected this to be my only trip by air.
