Guest Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Hopefully the announcement goes further than just which destinations you can visit likes of Spain will probably end up green in a month or two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amber basically means you have to self isolate for 10 days on return. Aye Because EVERYONE WILL DO THAT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traf Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 You'll need to present proof of a negative PCR test to get back into the UK from an amber/red country too, that's the suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only see it descending into chaos if there are mini surges in holiday locations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Spider Posted May 7, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted May 7, 2021 It’s a massive leap of faith for a family of four to go to Benidorm and risk a negative result. Insurance companies arent going to cover any extra expense. unless Schnapps is going to suggest people can still return but I’d be amazed.

Looked at our favourite hotel in New yYork last night for September; decent prices, I’ll be keeping an eye on that as a possibility. Don’t fancy long waits in airports, mind, so happy to give travel to foreign parts until it’s easier. Then there’s th’Ashes….. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While our UK office has been locked down for over 12 months this week has just seen the introduction of compulsory masks in the Madrid office. Utter madness!! The regional variations over there are ridiculous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mounts Kipper Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Think it might be late in the day now for the amber areas to have a normal summer, the fall out from failing to get on the green list pretty soon is going to be terrible for the holiday, airline and hotel industry.
