November holiday

We booked a holiday to Bulgaria and paid in full in 2018 for June 2019. I fell pregnant so changed the holiday to majorca for May 2020 paying £50pp to change it and adding the new addition on.
In March, just before lockdown we took advantage of changing the holiday for free. This was just before it all got serious so changed holiday to lanzarote in November 2020 paying a little bit extra for the hotel. At the time of changing the dates we thought by November it would of blown over, obviously things went from bad to worse over the next few weeks of lockdown. 
I have tried ringing tui this morning but I can't get through, we don't want to go but have spent more than enough on this holiday over the years since booking it. Does anyone know if we have chance of getting any money back so we can start again another year? Don't want to keep changing dates and paying fees when everything is so uncertain. Thankyou

    Unfortunately you will only get your money back if TUI cancel your holiday. If you were to cancel you’d lose out on a percentage of your holiday (there’s a chart somewhere that shows the different percentages the nearer you get to your holiday). November is a long time off and I’m sure there will be lots of changes with the Covid situation before then.
