Holiday in Majorca, Please advise!!

mmcourt

Hello everyone, I need your advise.
I have a flight booked for the 21 September to Majorca, Myself, Mum Hubby and 4 kids.
Due to the recent bomb attacks there including the one today, we are afraid to go now.
Our flights are booked with Jet2.
Should we go? or Can we get our money refunded from Jet2 because of this.
Please help, I dont know what to do.
Many Thanks

Go. You'll probably be safer there than in the UK.

Jet2 will not refund due to disinclination to travel, although you might get an amount back for taxes minus an admin fee if you do not go. Travel insurance won't cover this either (unless the Foreign Office declare it unsafe to travel, and even then I'm not sure if the insurance would cover terrorist activity.

Thank you for replying.
I hope it calms down a bit before then.
I am scared of flying as it is and then going somewhere where that is happening dosnt make it any better lol.
Thank you

Pssst

Get gone. Jet2 will not refund you.

You are in more danger on the streets of the UK than you are from ETA.

In the worst case, at least you will die with a view of the sun instead of a rainswept concrete jungle. send me your tickets. I'll go.

I agree you should go.

We went to the US just after Sept 11 catastrophe and we were given a brilliant welcome by locals in Florida - many bought us drinks in local bars for going to their country.

If you want to stay at home and hide that's fine too - just don't bother going to work tomorrow - you could be run down by a bus or catch swine flu!

We're going next week - no worries
The bombs look superficial and designed to hit the ecomony by scaring tourists away. Are you really safe anywhere these days?
Go, enjoy, Mallorca is lovely.

Not correct to suggest that the ETA bombs are superficial with 3 Spanish policemen killed already this summer. But the ETA bomb campaign is more like the IRA's before the ceasefire than Islamic terrorists. It is a risk, but for tourists a relatively low one.

Just returned home from Palmanova this morning, flew out on the 1st August. Had the police helicopter fly over a few times, patrol cars driving past the beach, it didnt feel at all unsafe and we had a brilliant time. It was very quiet though and some of bars were complaining how quiet it was. That could just be the Euro rate and nothing to do with the bombs.

The 3 'explosions' that happened Sunday were described by local police as superficial NOT me.
I appreciate people have died; and these latest explosions had prior warnings and were not aimed to kill.
