Interesting chat in here on the subject of potentially letting the oldies travel first.
Can certainly see both sides of the argument, and in particular there is a possible grey area surrounding family travel this summer, but the industry is on it's fucking knees and anything that might help stimulate things is a good thing in my eyes. We, as an industry, are absolutely desperate.
We're not talking about millions of pensioners suddenly going wild in Europe and rubbing all our faces in it. The noises from Greece, and they are only noises, is that they may permit double vaccinated people from the UK in May (would have to be 17th onwards due to restrictions this end)
If Doris and Bill have had all their required jabs and there is agreement in place between both countries that they can travel and return without issue, then let them have their week in Corfu or whatever it might be.
Yes, in an ideal world everyone would be ''released'' at the same time, but COVID life isn't an ideal world and we should welcome any returning steps towards normality, even if not everyone can benefit from them immediately.
And I'm speaking as a relatively young 33 year old, who likely won't be jabbed until the summer at the earliest.
But don't tell Doris and Bill that I went abroad 7 times last year ;)
