What actually will change. We want a holiday they want our money
It's a bit of a gamble as to which way prices will go - our flights were actually cheaper than they were this year so we booked early.
Does anyone still pay roaming charges? Genuine question. I've travelled all over the world and never paid for roaming.Also, the British government has now stated that it won’t enforce the ban on mobile phone roaming charges.

If there is a 'no deal' Brexit; there are a number of potential negative consequences for holidaymakers.
A great deal depends on whether we remain part of (or negotiate a alternative to) the 'Open Skies' agreement:

There may be disruption to other forms of travel:

And also there is uncertainty about the validity of the EHIC medical cards post Brexit:

the sort of doom and gloom i was seeing that led to my question... however thankfully not much of that effects me.. looking at ferry and driving abroad as i dont fly..
A lot of the fear is being stoked by Juncker and Barnier, with Varadkar and Macron posturing like little emperors. Germany is realising it has a lot to lose if there is no deal, France and Ireland haven't yet realised they will lose out a lot more if they continue to be more constructive.
People berate Trump be he is an elected leader but 48% still believe being in a club run by Juncker and Tusk is better - there is no election IIRC for role of EU commissioner or EU president....
March 2019 will come and go, I am just waiting for the next DFDS deals before booking my next trip to Germany at the end of May for the NSU Treffen in Lauenberg, and we will stop at Carrefour.

Thats cause they've been banned.

I'm not sure what your comments, particularly those about Trump, are doing in this thread which is about the possible travel ramifications of Brexit.
I guess a lot of people can talk about 'fear stoking' before we actually leave the E.U. and I should imagine those same people will talk about the UK being 'punished' should there be any negative consequences from leaving.
But what I imagine those same people won't be saying is 'Perhaps leaving the E.U. does have its downsides' ...
Likewise though, do you really think we will not be able to fly to Europe. What would the knock on effects be for thousands of people, us going there, them coming here, people from the US changing at LGW etc... Is it possible, of course, anything is, but is it likely, I very much doubt it. There is a transition phase that can be extended. There is no reason why air travel should be any different.
I know that during the referendum we were told of the glorious future we would have outside the E.U. I would have had more respect for that argument if instead we were told 'These are the opportunities and these are the risks'
Sadly we were not spoken to honestly.

Exactly this, both sides were guilty of sugar-coating or using fear to put their own argument forward.

Well, when I said I've travelled all over the world, I didn't actually mean that I've been to every single country. But in addition to EU countries (where roaming is free by mandate), I've also been to Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, Israel, Australia, New Zealand and USA without paying any roaming charges. I'm on Three and my monthly contract includes roaming in dozens of countries as standard.What network are you on that has no roaming charges worldwide?

Same here. I think the other networks also do the same thing too.
No, Three has a lot more non-EU inclusive roaming when compared to the other networks. O2 as an example has none.
As an example of what you can expect on o2, in a popular destination like the USA.
