Who has ever had work put pressure on them to cancel a pre-planned holiday that had been approved with plenty of notice? Thank you.

only consider this if your company is planning to reimburse you for your holiday. If this was previously approved, you're completely within your right to ask for them to pay for flights, hotels, etc. I'd be willing to bet they'll be able to make it without you. Your PTO is meant to be used, if you can't use it because of your company, you should also be paid out for it.
