Well, the good news is that all of the Tour providers that I've heard back from so far have been totally understanding, and will be giving me refunds. Fat Tire Tours asked me to leave it as a travel credit if I can, and I'm still thinking that one over (it was less than $30). The owner of the beautiful B&B I was so looking forward to staying at in Normandy said "sorry to hear, but….. we expected."
Just one more tour provider to hear from (Normandy beaches tour) and they waiting to see what to do about the one tour that was non-refundable (food tour in Lyon). So not the worst as far as that part is concerned.
Still waiting to see what happens with Delta. I know they're still scrambling, and re-arranging flights, and their current published policies are only through the end of April (and their website asks you to only contact them if your flight is in the next 72 hours). Plus, after 4 significant changes to my ticket, 3 out of the 5 legs are on Air France as a codeshare, and they are saying "Due to increasing travel restrictions, and faced with a sharp decline in demand, we will be reducing our flight capacity by up to 90% over the next few days. This capacity reduction is currently planned to last 2 months." So I'll wait a bit to contact Delta, and just see what happens. I'm hoping they either cancel my flights or change them so drastically that I can just get a refund. I also need to call the trip insurance folks & see what happens to that, since I'm pretty sure I can't make any sort of claim.
This is the first time in I can't remember how long that I haven't had an active ticker in my signature.
