Fucking piss take this and I've not even booked a summer holiday and have no intention of doing for this very reason. What a joke. Families getting shat on left right and centre now.

Prices do seem to have risen for 2022 & if you’re tied to exact dates they’ve got you by the bollo’s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UK currently has one of the highest Covid infection rates in the World. Wait and see how many of the current crop of Politicians fuck off to the Caribbean this summer for a Holiday. I bet it's on the green list just in time (if not already). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MancWanderer Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Just back from a week in Majorca Apart from the obvious of managing to get away on a holiday that had been cancelled and rearranged 4 times by TUI.... The positives: Deserted Manc and Palma Airports so no waiting, flights absolutely on time, and transfers quick and easy Half full planes - TUI put us on an EasyJet flight Majorca seem to be managing the situation well - compulsory masks in shops and walking around the hotel, sanitisers everywhere and nobody being an arse about it The negatives: The amount of forms that you have to fill in and documentation that you have to produce The simpleton mouth-breathing cunts that try to check in without having completed a single form and then block check-in whilst they boot up a laptop or iPad to do it there and then. We received so many emails and texts telling us what we had to do so we did it and it took us no more than 5 minutes to check in. We queued at Palma check in for an hour. One family were there when we arrived and were still there when we walked to departures an hour later. Utter fuckwits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antigua (where I've been for the past 12 days) & Barbados are on the green list already. Superb out here. I'm home Wednesday and I'd rather just stay here, feels much safer.

ErnestTurnip Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Had a few days on the NE coast and going to some of the smaller places like Robin Hoods Bay made me wonder how the fuck they've kept going, loads of pubs/shops etc still shut and more with notices on about having to shut because of isolation. Beautiful weather and really nice up there though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traf Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Back in the UK now. Antigua was brilliant. They're a lot stricter about hand washing, temperature checks and mask wearing than we've ever been. Shops, bars, restaurants etc have washing stations and thermometers outside and you have to use them. Masks are worn everywhere except inside hotels/resorts, on beaches or when seated in a bar/restaurant. On the spot fines from the police otherwise and they are patrolling.

royal white Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Got back from Cyprus yesterday, me and the missus are both double jabbed and had no problems at all. Flew out with TUI who insist you have to wear masks on the flight and transfer to the hotel which is no biggy. The hotel only had us wearing masks at the hot plate which again is no biggy. Paphos itself was open for business as usual with most bars, clubs and restaurants open. If you’re undecided about taking a holiday and fancy Cyprus then I’d say go for it.

Nic1 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Well, like a lot of folks I'm having a wonderful time spending a decent amount of time with family after a grim 18 months. Also loving being back in Bolton after 2 years. I know the two weeks of sun are sacrosanct for some, its never been that for us, a decent weekend break, a few camping sites down south. Happy days.

Loved Protaras, went 14 years ago for a mates wedding. Just remember it costing more for booze over there than here. Also got 2nd degree burns on my bum after falling asleep round the pool hungover to hell for 6 hours. That was fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’re not scared of needles (fully vaccinated) I think it was about £80 in total. One family who came with us had no vaccinations and it cost them the best part of a grand I think. @Traf is probably best to ask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
