101 Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Daily Mail (I know) reporting holidays will be on from the 17th of May to a select list of "green" countries. Considering the FM has said a few times she wants these decisions to be made on a 4 nations basis then we could see some movement to open up holiday routes. That said India, Brazil, America, Australia and New Zealand will almost certainly be out for a long time yet and considering the numbers of holiday makers they attract we are a long way from normality. Sadly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont get where youre getting the USA as ‘out for a long time yet’ given just about every travel writer is suggesting we’ll be flying there from June. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's enough of a deterrent for the vast majority. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the US and pretty much all of Europe will be a goer by mid to late summer. Further afield will likely take considerably longer, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah well. Got the email to confirm this just now. Looks like all Glasgow Virgin flights for the summer season canned. Disappointing given we’ll all have had at least our first vaccine by then and the US is finally ramping up their vaccination program too. Speaking with the Mrs the biggest concern is not getting the virus, but getting stuck over there/having to formally quarantine with the US switching from a green list country to a red. Virgin have kindly rebooked us automatically from Manchester - I think not! Will be cancelling and rebooking on BA via Heathrow. Feel for the airlines though. This must be a nightmare. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With half of the states in the US ditching masks, and some (including Florida) allowing venues etc to operate at 100% it will be interesting to see what impact people getting a taste of that again will have on the lifting of restrictions here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purely going by their posture not having a in-country quarantine policy is a very hard line to take. I would imagine they will introduce something like that before opening up fully Biden is far more interested about sorting things out domestically than the international aspect imo. I think 5 weeks is too short a time frame for them to ease things back to a level where people are flying there without restrictions. I hope I'm wrong but that's the feeling I have got from speaking to people over there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough they might not want to let us in but there's no reason why we can't let them in here Australia are on record saying they aren't interested in opening their borders potentially until 2022 (which is mad), New Zealand likely to be the same and their vaccination roll outs have been fairly slow and their base line levels of natural immunity will be next to 0. We might be interested in them coming here but the feasibility of flying planes that are full taking people to Europe but empty for at least the first month or so coming back I think will scupper the idea and that's before they potentially say you would have to isolate in government accommodation before reentry as you would just now if you could get there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Wee Bully" has completely lost the place over the course of the year. Seems to be one of those posters who view issues solely through the prism of The Pie And Bovril Football Forum (eg an advisor suggests restrictions on our lives and the reaction is "I love the seethe"). They may well join the 8MileBUs and the Ad Libs of this world on my Ignore List. Hasn't quite reached those depths but trending in that direction fo' sho'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. The time I spent in Poland last summer is the most normal life has felt for me since February 2020. Other than it being quieter than usual in Kraków and masks being worn in shops and on transport, people were just getting on with it.

Then again they were screaming about punishing the 6 clubs repeatedly and were probably using it as a stick to beat them with. Not sure this is quite the case, I think they're not planning to use the Super League clubs' stadiums - Tottenham's new was supposed to be in the running for some games. The English FA were very supportive of UEFA, so I can't see why the likes of Wembley, St James' Park, Villa Park or the London Stadium would be off the table. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
