TUI are busy dealing with people who are due to go on holiday up to the end of June and they aren't commenting beyond then even though it seems apparent that nothing is going to change much for at least 6 months.
I've decided not to pay the balance as it's too much to risk losing and I hope that TUI will refund the deposit if overseas travel is still restricted as seems likely.
Hopefully people will be able to get away to somewhere nice next year.
In the meantime, stay safe.
Mellow, our final balance was due last week and we had no option but to pay up or we'd lose the holiday. If we didn't pay, we in effect were cancelling the holiday so our deposits of £900 (party of six) would have been lost.

We did check first though with our Insurance company if we could claim all our money back if restrictions stopped us from flying when the date comes around. Thankfully they will cover all monies lost, not sure about the excess though. Alternatively, Virgin said we can carry the holiday over for 12 months if we preferred to do that so all not lost. It's just the thought of Virgin holding our money all that time should they go bust!
