Due to the travel ban, @Slicebananas flight to me is cancelled. We're going to spend the day on hold with his job trying to move vacation days around & United as we try to move his flight to the 13th or 14th, which is right outside the ban window.
Hi Ibrahim..I didnt even get any reply from airasia..I have booked a round trip through MakeMyTrip and they even unable to refund. Luckily one of the flight got cancelled and rescheduled which impacts my plan. So they said it can be refunded.
A screenshot from a private Facebook group for people getting married reveals wedding guest lists are turning into logistical nightmares.
And beyond travel restrictions, weddings where the elderly will be mingling with guests from areas impacted by the coronavirus are causing concern.
One wedding host mentioned uncertainty about whether a wedding planned for less than a month from now would still be able to include at least 50 guests flying in from the UK.
Honeymoons are being postponed or canceled.
cancelled my honeymoon yesterday to Ireland. Soooo heartbroken but for the best.

Conferences continue to be canceled, and people are scrambling to find out if they can be reimbursed.
Have you cancelled your #SBM2020 meeting attendance yet? It may help the organizers to know who is and isnβt coming. And letβs be honest. None of us are going to tgat or any other conference.
#AATeam Conference beginning tomorrow was cancelled last night. Spent hours on hold & on website. Canβt make change to flights. I used points to purchase on March 2. Any suggestions?
And I hope you find another way to have a happy birthday. My daughterβs study abroad program was cancelled so she has to come back when she was looking forward to her 21st in Europe!
@Delta Need some help getting my daughter out of Dublin, Ireland back to Boston, because her study abroad program is cancelled. Canβt seem to change her flight online and when I call, I keep getting disconnected. Some help, please?
