If you and one other passenger were in a 747, one on aisle 1and the other on aisle whatever the back seat is on, any airborne virus will be passing through the whole plane a few times during the flight. I’m therefore not getting that you’d feel the need to social distance on a non-essential flight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the sharing of bogs and every cunt lugging 20kg of hand luggage around to save £22 that will fuck it all up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How on earth do you social distance people in all those queues?

Youri McAnespie Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 How much of all this bollocks - travel wise and in other spheres will actually help prevent the spread of the virus, and how much is just window dressing to inspire consumer confidence and get things moving again? Wouldn't be a surprise if the 'terms and conditions' on everything (that nobody ever reads before signing/ticking) change - giving companies indemnity if your cock drops off or your colon falls out either.

royal white Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 I’m due to go to Ibiza in August. An island with low CV-19 cases and no deaths. Why should you have to quarantine coming back from there yet you can travel down to London which has been rife with CV-19, spend the day on the underground, then go back home as normal?

But I am looking at a wasted £3k if Jet2 get their way I think sooner or later they’re going to have to either offer people incentives to cancel so that they can successfully social distance for those who do decide to take it up or knock the whole thing on the head. Suppose it’s whether you want to gamble on the latter or take the hit on the 30% (which is why we’ve got in there with 73 days to go and written off the deposit) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave is quite correct in his assertions and my own thoughts are well known ie if we needed a quarantine on inbound travellers, March 23rd was the date to impose it. When finally realising it needed doing on May 22nd, two months later, then surely June 8th is another 17 days too late? They're fucking the travel industry over here. 2 firms have gone in the past week or so, more will follow because they're getting no help. But who gives a fuck, your average Tory MP doesn't book a package deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect the measures will be starting to bear fruit so we’ll review it again in 3 weeks time - or 20th July. well done everyone, time to do away with quarantine, holidays can resume from tomorrow. Parliament rises for their summer break on 21st July. Cynical? Me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d imagine that rules around taking kids away during term time are out of the window now, certainly for this / next year What about the Insurance aspect though? god forbid you go to Spain and get Covid that requires treatment, your not covered and can’t use the Spanish health service for free as we are no longer in the EU - could get very expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
