Trip to Georgia cancelled last minute and I don't know what to do
Our take
I was supposed to fly this Sunday for a week-long trip to Georgia and meet my family there. They were flying in from Thailand and we planned a hiking trip + nature trip together.
Unfortunately, their flights got cancelled because of the situation in the Middle East. They were able to get a refund, but my brother and sister-in-law don’t have any more days off this year, so the trip is basically cancelled.
The problem is that my flight is still on and it’s non-refundable. My dad already paid for the Airbnbs too, and he asked if I still want to go. He isn't able to get a refund in the first place but can be in other places.
But honestly, I don’t. This was meant to be a family trip and I don’t feel comfortable hiking alone there. At the same time, it feels awful to waste the ticket and lose the holiday entirely.
So now I’m just stuck feeling really disappointed. I was really looking forward to spending time with my family. Another reason of the hesitation is because this was supposed to be a family trip, I wouldn't feel great going alone, and I would probably miss them too much. It wouldn't be as fun.
Not sure if I should still go and try to make something out of it, or just accept the loss and stay home.
Has anyone been in a similar situation?

- Friend might pull out of trip last minute, what should I do?So, a friend and I have had a trip booked for months. Hostel, flights and everything. They've just told me that they might have to pull out due to health complications. We're meant to be flying with Easyjet, but I don't think they're refundable, and I don't think we'll be able to get the room deposit back as well. Idk what to really do in this situation, that was a lot of money I've lost- and they've said that they'll pay some of it back- but that's under the impression we get a partial refund. Is there anything I can do in this situation? Will I be able to get any money back? If I can't, do I just say fuck it and go on a solo trip? I've never gone on a solo trip before, so idk how well I'd do on one... submitted by /u/GHOSTiscoming4urknee [link] [comments]
- Pre-Flight Bad Luck StreakWhat advice would you give to someone who's getting a bit depressed thinking they'll never be able to travel again? For context, I have tried booking my husband and I's first trip together as a married couple for a while now (I don't even know if I can still call it a honeymoon because it's been a couple of months now.) Originally, we were going to Tallinn in Estonia a few days after our wedding, but the flight was somehow cancelled. I also had a trip to Japan planned, but it was cancelled due to the airstrikes in Qatar. I've rescheduled my flight plans now to October, but with flights being cancelled because of Jet fuel shortages, potential wars, and now possibly a pandemic from the virus currently found on that cruise ship. Family and friends have been joking with me to stop planning trips to other countries because something bad will happen to me, and while I watch them go to other places, while anything I plan crumbles to dust is starting to feel disheartening, like it's a sign I'm not ever meant to leave my country lol. submitted by /u/Astral_Child666 [link] [comments]
