    Im thinking of booking a flight to somewhere in Italy for next May.
    Hopefully things might be better then. But if not, or even a couple of days before I fly there is a lockdown or advice not to travel, who would be best to book with.


    With Ryanair i had a horrid experience trying to get money for flights back this year that were cancelled.
    And Ryanair probably have some sneaky stuff in their ts&cs if I have to cancel or rebook.


    So who would you say it is safest to book with at the moment, incase plans have to change at short notice?

    Best option is not to book at all surely?

    Family wedding organized for there. So we were going to go and take a few days to travel around Italy beforehand.
    Now if the wedding is cancelled no point travelling, but if its not and its safe to travel then we will. But since I dont know what the situation is going to be like, id like to book with the most flexible airline I can.

    If I book with someone who is flexible and the situation doesnt get better then no loss.
    Thats what im trying to do.
