Cancelling trip to Paris

MrsB_82

I actually haven't discussed with Easyjet whether or not a voucher would apply, i actually haven't discussed anything with them yet, I came on the forum to get a rough idea if i would have any comeback or if there was anything available out there to cover any costs if i choose not to go.

I am having similar issues, have booked to go on 11th Dec and just not feeling good about going. Can i ask what airline you had booked with that has offered the voucher?

Thanks

If you're flying with EasyJet, you can get a credit voucher, minus fees. Or you can change it for another flight, if you just ring them they will tell you what your options are.

Thank you very much, I will do that x

Your daughter shouldn't let the acts of some cowards dictate if she goes to Paris.

While it's ridiculous to let this stop your trip, it's equally ridiculous to do absolutely anything to "show those terrorists..." - how is doing something against your will showing them anything? Not to mention, why on Earth would IS care what this man does?

Finally, branding terrorists as cowards is always a rather bizarre thing to me. How exactly is what they've done remotely cowardly? If anything, I'd say sacrificing your life for what you believe in is more the opposite. Though it's of course important to point out that brave doesn't automatically equal good, before some lunatic goes on about me idolising them or something.

The main attractions in Paris will be well guarded by police and soldiers,but shopping centres in the UK won't .

i was forced to go to lakeside yesterday and to my surprise we saw 4 police sniffer dogs on patrol in the shopping centre along with a fair few uniformed officers about the place too, i did check to see if krispy kreme had a sale on, which could have explained their attendance.

Of course these terrorists are cowards. Suicide has always been known as the coward's way out.

If these scum want to fight a war then let them wear military uniform and let them fight it out with the military forces of the countries that the want to go to war with. Attacking unarmed civilians without warning, and then not being prepared to face the jail timeafterwards is certainly my definition of cowardice.

No-one is actually saying that the OP should go to Paris to "show those terrorists" but because Paris is a great city to visit, the OP already planned to gothere and anywhere in Europe is probably equally likely to suffer a terrorist attack in the future - including the OP's home town if he chooses not to go.

Life is for living.regardless of the murdering scum who want us all to live in fear of them.

You'll be in more danger driving to and from the airport over here than coming across a terrorist. I'd go, even with the kids, it'll be safe and quieter than usual.

I thought we were using the ACTUAL definition of cowardice, not your personal one... I'm not quite sure your argument that jail is worse than death is something many would agree with either - most people faced with the death penalty seem to spend an exorbitant amount of time and money trying to get out of it! Regardless, it's a rather pedantic discussion (started by me) given we obviously both agree on their "character" anyway.

And yes, that's exactly what some people are saying. The particular fear of Paris above the rest of Europe may be somewhat irrational, but it's a legitimate fear. Telling someone scared of flying that's it's statistically safer than driving won't alleviate any fears - neither will telling the OPs daughter that Paris is safe.

Why has the foreign Office not declared Paris unsafe given they were very quick to advise against travel to Tunisia after the IS attacks there?


Personally I would go ahead with any planned travel
