Concern re our upcoming trip in early May - what happens if jet fuel really does run out in the EU ?

Hi all. My husband and I are scheduled for a month (2 consecutive trips) in England in early May. Given all the issues going on, how might Tauck handle it if there are fuel issues getting home ? Do they allow us to get there, and hope for the best ? I know Tauck is prepared for most things, but I don’t want to have to be worrying incessantly the entire trip. Any insights are appreciated. I plan on contacting Tauck closer to the date, but still…I’m very unsure. Thank you !

    About 20% of the world's consumption of oil goes through the Strait of Hormuz. And a lot of that 20% went to China and other parts of Asia. People are smart and a bunch of them are working on how to keep planes flying even if the Strait stays blocked. At worst, perhaps a few flights will be cancelled to save fuel, because the cost of fuel will go up.

    I don't see any wholesale cancelling of flights into or out of Europe from the US.

    [I'm leaving for a trip in the Mediterranean soon and I'm not worried that I won't get there, or get home.]

    Thanks Mike, that sounds reassuring.
