dryJTlaw Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 (edited) Should still be ok for 12-15yr olds if theyve had single dose as this is technically all they can have had at this stage. Im supposed to be leaving on Sunday. Heres the bit about double an single doses. If you’re arriving into the Canary Islands from the UK on or after 1 December 2021, the Spanish Government requires you to present proof of being fully vaccinated on entry. To be fully vaccinated you must have received both doses of a two-dose vaccine or one dose of a one-dose vaccine, at least 14 days prior to your arrival. Without proof of being fully vaccinated, you won’t be able to enter the country. An NHS COVID Pass shows your COVID-19 vaccination details and will be accepted – find out how you can get this. Please note, your business card-sized paper COVID-19 vaccination record card isn’t an acceptable form of vaccine status proof and can’t be used to enter.

Boab Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 The added cost of PCR tests instead of Rapid Antigens and needing to isolate till the result comes in will deter some for sure. May not seem much individually but it can be for a group. Travel industry are livid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked into this a wee while ago as we've got flights to Paris booked with easyJet, you can re-book, take a voucher or have a full refund if regulations mean you are not allowed to fly or you are required to quarantine even if the flight is operating. Let them cancel it though or you'll only get to change the flight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should do the right thing regarding that country's restrictions The UK are not restricting travel. I'm going to Lanzarote in mid February and I'm keeping my eye on what the Spanish government are saying, even then it seems to be down to local governments in Spain. The Spanish courts deemed that earlier lockdowns were illegal. I'm still hopeful of getting away and if my flight was tomorrow, I would be there in a shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel Camazzola Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Been looking into a few places to visit for next year and Montenegro has appealed. However, based on current testing requirements, does anyone know what would be needed if flying to Dubrovnik then driving across the border? Would double testing be required or would the tests for arriving into Croatia also be applicable for crossing into Montenegro on the same day?

Good news. 👍 I wonder if they'll still insist on a 2 day PCR test on returning to the UK. Double standards if they do seeing as they are now saying that a lateral flow test is good enough to tell whether you should self isolate or not without travel.

Assuming you live in Scotland, absolutely nothing. I expect things will change and hopefully the change will revert to a day 2 LFT (as in England), but those in charge in Scotland have a habit of holding off before making an announcement, which is a bit of a pest and makes it more awkward when arranging for test kits to be delivered.

You can't use the NHS tests as you need a reference number to fill in on your PLF, which you can only get by booking a private test. The PLF is needed to be filled in otherwise they won't let you on the flight, it's just basic info you need to fill in, takes 5 mins tops.

You don't need to order it in advance of leaving, most companies will email you the code as soon as you order it, so when I done it I just ordered it whilst I was away (in case the criteria changed again), got the code immediately then filled in the PLF, but there is nothing stopping you ordering it in advance.

broxburnjambo Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 I am a personal travel consultant and even I cant predict what the government are going to do. Things have been difficult for us in the travel industry like many other occupations. I am just delighted that people are starting to book holidays again. I fly to Tenerife tomorrow morning having spent £94 on PCR tests on Wednesday. The new rules means a now only need to take an LFT on my return. You can actually still use the PCR test and not need to take the LFT. I also do not need to take an LFT in resort before flying home. I have actually not lost that much money. 2 x PCR Tests - £94 2 x LFT ( day 2 test that i would have had to have taken) circa £40 2 x LFT pre departure test from Tenerife circa £40 I am about £14 out of pocket but I am getting away on holiday and really looking forward to it.

hmfc_liam06 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Got a trip to Florida and Mexico in June. Think currently I'm looking at an in-person antigen test for the 3 of us 1 day before departure to the States. Nothing for flying from Florida to Cancun. And then just the day 2 LFT for the 2 adults. Much better than a week ago anyway. And I'm hoping that's reduced further by the time June comes. Don't mind the day 2 test, hoping America loosen their stance though.
