@ Gary — My luck with COVID travel planning seems to be on par with my investment skills. Canceled CDG for AMS for Labor Day week. AMS closed 4 days before departure, CDG open. Just got refund for $1,648 round-trip in early Nov LAX-DOH-BKK in QSuites. Oh well.
Interesting about Thailand. Did they ever implement the “insurance” surcharge for Covid?
The Kelly story is a non-story.
Good to know on American refunds.
My September/October travel to France & Sweden all canceled now. A couple of weeks in Canada as plan B has been booked.
