Surely it makes sense to NOT book any EU holiday during October half term as Brexit deadline is smack bang in the middle of that week. I'm asking my partner to just wait until we know whats happening but they just want to book now. Am i being too cautious?. I am a natural worst case scenario type of person and don't really fancy potentially being delayed at airports, long queues, etc. with the kids. Am i justified in holding off the booking till we know more? I think so but my partner thinks i'm worrying about nothing. Thanks for any opinions of what you'd do in same predicament.

Not all half terms are the same week in October. Some schools also have two weeks.0

I'd be more worried about the price of a holiday at this late stage with Thomas Cook teetering.0

If you don't book now, it will cost more nearer the time, the deal has been agreed even in a no-deal scenario that flights will continue as normal. The only issue will be delays at the borders and I suspect it may be on the way home, trying to get back into the UK rather than arriving or leaving another EU country that you could be waiting longer than now, but frankly no one knows0

As this is MSE you could use Brexit as an excuse to can the whole idea of any holiday at halfterm and save the money for next time or a rainy day or add to the early retirement fund or whatever....The questions that get the best answers are the questions that give most detail....0

I personally wouldn't worry about it, but I would suggest you still read the DOT advice HERE on EU travel after Brexit.There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore, There is society, where none intrudes, By the deep sea, and music in its roar: I love not man the less, but Nature more...0

The doors aren't going to slam shut at midnight, sadly it looks like you've been sucked in by the propaganda.
Your partner sounds like who you need to listen to
