no idea that we’re going to vs no idea we’re going to

Both phrases are correct, but they're used in contexts that are slightly different. "No idea that we're going to" is more formal and emphasizes the conjunction 'that'. On the other hand, "No idea we're going to" is more casual and direct. The choice between the two phrases depends on the level of formality you want to express.
