Covid and travel discussion

interesting ryan air and easy jet insisting on masks despite today's announcement, can foresee some non compliance.

I know this is going to be hugely unpopular but I dont understand this scramble to go abroad.

we are still in the middle pandemic and surely everyone can wait until next year to go abroad

If you have family abroad, I can understand, but just a holiday seems really unnecessary.

It's not just holidays it's people who haven't seen relatives for nearly 2 years plus are you advocating everyone to holiday here?
What about our travel industry?

The annual trip abroad is a huge part of our culture though.

Was always gonna be the case, and will just be a condition of carriage that all airlines have.
Undoubtedly some people will ignore the rules though after 19th.

You're right, hugely unpopular ;)

Probably not the thread for you if you just want to shit on people who are intending or hoping to get abroad sooner rather than later.

If you wanna stay home that's cool, but there's no need to try and guilt trip others into doing so as well.

Yes but suppose if 20 refuse to wear one they won't be let on the plane?
Guess also you won't have to wear them in airports anymore.

I'm not entirely sure on the legalities, however if Jet2 or whoever have a condition of carriage that you have to wear a face mask for the flight, and people turn up without a facemask and have no intention of finding/buying a facemask, then I think Jet2 will be well within their rights to refuse boarding.

What I think the bigger problem will be is people boarding wearing one, with the intention to remove it upon take off and kick up a fuss if challenged by cabin crew.
That could end up messy though for anyone acting the twat on board.

Yeah that's been rumoured for a few days and is quite well documented to now be true.
Apparently Grant Shapps is doing a conference or announcement later this week about that.
Consensus seems to be that will be introduced from the 19th as well, though part of me thinks it might not kick in until August.

How that is going to be policed is anyone's guess.
