Anyone holding off on booking holidays due to Brexit?

    I heard a piece on the radio yesterday that I hadn't considered.

    It was about how 2019 holidays could be disrupted if there is a crash-out Brexit.

    Of course no-one knows how it will affect flights, ferries etc, but its now on my mind as I was about to book my summer holiday soon.

    We like to fly out of Belfast as its our handiest international airport. But that would be a UK flight going to EU country, so it could potentially be an issue come March 2019.

    Who knows?

    And I'm sure travel insurance will have a get out clause hidden away somewhere.

    No, not holding off booking but did not want to book anything which involved transitting through the UK either esp to another EU Country.

    I wouldn't have any issues booking myself, even through a UK airport. While there is the real possibility of aircraft being grounded in the event of a no deal Brexit which itself is a very real possibility, I couldn't see any disruption lasting more than a couple of days at worst. I think as an island nation, sorting out air travel to and from the continent would be an absolute priority over anything else.

    Tend to agree with you, they will not be grounded for very long.

    On the news last night (cant remember which) they were mentioning that the EU are working on a small package of temporary measures to avoid total chaos on the day of a hard brexit.
    One of those is a temporary permission to allow UK airlines (like Ryanair and Aer lingus who have a majority of shareholders from the UK) to continue to fly to and from the EU.

    2 or 3 months down the line will be the problem if a proper arrangement isnt found by then.

    I'm fairly sure Michael O'Leary will have an exemption or 2 for his operations already.

    They do have a plan, burn the brits !
    Basically with a hard brexit, every UK shareholder will simply loose voting rights.

    and the answer to any whingy brits, typical Ryanair!
    I’m not comfortable with the scenario where I lose voting rights, what are my options post a hard Brexit?

    There are no other options, you are free to sell your shares in the market at any time.
