OT: What's the biggest event(s) you had planned that was cancelled?

[bendm]

some AirBnB won’t give us our money back either

did you actually book through airbnb? the website is issuing direct refunds because of the pandemic you shouldnt have to deal with the bed and breakfast. i was able to get a booking fully refunded by only dealing with the website

The best thing about corona? I hope it bankrupts every airbnb owner . Worst thing ever

Air BNB is nearly bankrupt itself now and is very stingy on the refunds. June isnt being refunded yet. Basically, they won’t refund unless I am prohibited from making the trip.

I am done. And I’ll do everything I can via floods of zero star reviews to cost any scumbag who keeps my money ten times as much in lost business.

So far? A trip to Sarajevo, Mostar, Jajce and a few other places in Bosnia for ten days.

This virus sucked. I'm a major summer vacation person, but its certainly a staycation year for us.

Had Broadway play tixs for wife's b'day along with a night out cancelled (got refunded). My daughter's college graduation ceremony this month was cancelled but it was for her Masters, but still.

Also we had a long awaited HS reunion in August that's now cancelled. The reunion was to be my highlight of the year.

The US Open Pickleball Championships in Naples FL in late April...yes, there is such a thing. Would have been my first Open and even though I'm guaranteed a spot in next year's tournament I'll be a year older and a year slower. Airbnb would not refund me because host would not agree to it. Still debating whether I should write a nasty review of them and him. Hotwire gave me a full refund for rental car. I like them.

Yes, they are progressive and they should be bigger than they are. They are from the Harrison, NY area, so you can sometimes catch them playing in the area. At least once this virus thing goes away.

I originally from White Plains - where in the area do they play?

Music festival in Columbus was cancelled last weekend

Have you ever seen Clapton around?

That’s a winning list. Congratulations on the wedding.

I’m sure your guests appreciate you canceling the wedding and not being put in the impossible situation of deciding to go or not.

Portugal June 1-12. My wife's family was excited to meet the new baby and see my 2 year old again. Our flight was officially cancelled on May 20 so we should be getting our refund soon. Planning on trying to negotiate four vouchers rather than the refund, since the kids fly free until 2 we only had to pay for two tickets, but my son turns two the week after we would have returned so we will have to buy him a ticket when we figure out when we can go again. Luckily we have a place to stay when there so we only had to worry about getting the flight money back.

A trip to Chicago (never been there) to see my cousin and her boyfriend before she graduated in May, cancelled. A wedding in VT first week of June, cancelled. A family trip with my in-laws to the Cape for my nephews 1st BDay, cancelled (my nephew and sister in law and her husband live in San Fran). However, we did book a long weekend for mid-July to Newport and my wife and I are also going to Myrtle Beach mid-August. ::knock on wood::

Saw them in the past at NJ Proghouse, NEARfest, and in Rye,
NY. Going forward, your guess is as good as mine.

 

[Letsgohuskies11]

the amount of fees that airbnb was stacking on top of the regular overnight expense was insane. You could book a $99 a night stay and there would be $75 worth of additional fees.

30th wedding anniversary trip to Scotland all paid ... really bummed

I'll have to watch NJ Proghouse when they reopen - about an hour from.my son in Pequannock.

Early on, cancelled a mid March trip to visit my son in CA and his family (we are in CT) as well as using a time share week in Newport Beach. A big disappointment because my wife couldn’t do that kind of travel for the last 5 mos of 2019 due to chemo. We also travel a lot and the combo of her cancer causing us to cancel a Europe trip last Sept and now this that is stopping us from planning other travel has been a downer.

Not being able to travel for work has been a blessing and it's about to come around 180 degrees and be a punch in the face. Basically all 2020 business travel will compressed in to 5 1/2 months. I know my company isn't going to miss out on contractual obligations because some of us will have to travel a bunch. Already prepped the wife for me being gone quite a bit.
Other than that? Had a kid graduate HS a few weeks ago. Graduation ceremony has been delayed twice already and they are now shooting for mid-June commencement.
Had a June vacation set up to meet up with some friends for a get together. Had to cancel that since several of us would have potentially had to quarantine upon return.
Overall, not much of an inconvenience for me yet.

The original idea of finding a place to stay in a pinch was great but now they’re just as bad as hotels.

Why? I can understand you hating it if you're a hotel owner but in my experience it's awesome for travelers.
