Yeah Turkey does indeed have a similar problem to UAE, as Istanbul is such a global hub for flights. Cases were very high in Turkey but have fallen a lot; rumours doing the rounds it will get amber status either next week or the following review but that remains to be seen. I kinda think the Gov...

Yep, should be another announcement (or more likely leak then announcement) on Thursday. Unless people are looking at relatively obscure holiday destinations, there shouldn't be any obvious bucket and spade places going from amber to red next week. Turkey looks a candidate for promotion to...

Tough one to call and can't really advise on it with it being such a personal decision type thing. I guess you're way more likely to catch Covid in England than Skiathos, but if you catch it here at least you can isolate at home. Reading between the lines I think you can probably tell it's a...

It's a beautiful island. I stayed near the lido area, about 30 minute walk out of Funchal, your area isn't a part of the island I'm familiar with tbh. Best advice I can give is go easy on their local beer, Coral.....fuck me it was a banging hangover on my 2nd morning (I had to isolate in my...

Entry requirements - Portugal travel advice - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) All the information is on that link; note Madeira has separate entry requirements than mainland Portugal. Would check in with it regularly before you go as these things can change quickly. Whereabouts you staying over there? I...

For many it won't be, for some it will be. I think circumstances (work, family, responsibilities etc) will dictate the level of acceptable risk for the majority, but I'd say for the average person it's probably in their mindset that it's not worth the risk. Also will depend on where you're...

Yeah it's definitely a possible eventuality and certainly something to consider. If you're in Europe over the summer months, you're gonna spend the vast majority of your time outdoors, so this should mitigate the risk somewhat, however Delta seems to get around with ease and so arriving at your...

You have to follow the local health regulations, which will often be dedicated quarantine hotels or government approved facilities. Some hotels may have dedicated rooms on site, if you're lucky enough to be staying in one and unlucky enough to test positive. The hotel chain Iberostar have a...

No no no no no no. Everyone simply must holiday at home for the rest of time. Anyone even contemplating leaving the country for a holiday is a traitor and should be beaten to death with their passport.

Yeah its only really £200 if you still need to do a PCR in the UK before you travel, and most places seem to be accepting fully vaccinated people without testing. Can all change though ;)

Bloody hell, see what you mean. I guess my slim chances of spending Xmas in Bali are right down the shitter now. 1st June, 4824 Yesterday, 34,379 Bad times over there :(

On a scale of 1 - 10, how gritted were your teeth when you posted that? ;) Thread title could've been changed on May 17th tbf, although it is far from plain sailing for international travel for the rest of 2021 and beyond.

Saturday 26th June. 2nd jab was auto booked in for 8 weeks later (Pfizer) (assuming you're talking about vaccination ;) )

Our vaccine programme is good, but many other countries are behind us, some massively behind us. If were recording 50-100k cases a day as is predicted soon, then many countries are likely to restrict us going there as they won't want us bringing Delta over in potentially big numbers when they...

Wonder how many of those 49% voted for Trump? I had read September for Delta to be the No1 strain over there, but it's moving faster now I think.

I read an interesting article recently (can't remember what/where to link it) about countries that have, in the main, dealt with Covid pretty well, certainly compared to a lot of Western countries. The problems those countries are now facing is their exit plan strategy. Obviously Australia and...

We've got a new Victor in the thread. Merry Christmas.

Blaming people for something that hasn't even happened yet, nice. The case rates across Europe are tiny in many destinations compared to the UK right now. Some Greek islands are barely recording 1 case a day. Do you show this much disdain to people travelling around the UK, eating and...

''yes i am advocating people holidaying here or, shock horror, not going on holiday at all'' Do you not find telling people how to spend their time and money breathtakingly arrogant?
