Would you book a holiday for October 2021 just now?

Hi folks, having missed out on a holiday this year, next available time I have to get abroad is October 2021 Would anyone feel safe booking a break at this moment for a holiday over a year away given the current circumstances? Have seen a couple of good deals but I am in two minds whether to book.

I have already booked accommodation for September 2021 but haven't been required to pay a deposit.  I would probably wait and not book yet.  That is more because I suspect that prices may well drop again after the initial rush.  At the moment holiday prices for next year seem to be increasing on a daily basis.

I'm not booking anything until the position regarding travel insurance cover becomes clearer.

I am currently glad that I hadn't yet booked any trips by March 11th (when the pandemic was announced) so that I have nothing to cancel/defer to next year. when i first read of people deferring to 2021, my first thought was "what will you do for insurance when your current policy will have expired". For once i was grateful to a NHS wait for a scan which had prevented me from renewing my annual policy and booking anything in January/February !

I am not booking anything when we are still dealing with 2020.
Unless I have a crystal ball that can tell me everything will be ok to travel abroad.

I've booked for Feb "21 and I'm happy to have something to look forward to.

Well bit the bullet and booked, was saving £500 per couple compared to rival company. here's hoping this pandemic has passed by then.
