Barely makes the city breaks worth it with these tests to return home verses the risk.

My trip to the states next week is looking less likely as the days go by. Fuck this shit, first holiday booked in two years and it goes tits up. I’m not going to bother booking another.
Alright as long as you can afford it. It’s those going to Tenerife on all inclusive they are looking to stop. The masses. Executives free to go to far flung destinations
It's becoming tiresome and I know people will quote the "We're in a pandemic what do you expect?" at me, but still We're almost two years; in now and at some point you have to try and live a life, while doing your best to comply. I've had two jabs and my booster and things were easing. I missed last Christmas away and thought I'd get this one okay. I've paid 390 Euro deposit on an apartment and paid for my flight. Now they're adding extra cost on, why can't we use the NHS free tests? Oh let's guess ........their rich mates are making a few thousand more selling them. I'm due to fly on Thursday and fuck it I'm still going. I just hope I get away before the "Don't do as I do, do as I say" fuckers throw more obstacles in the way. If I take a test before I fly home and it's negative and so is everyone on the plane, why have I got to do another one when I get home? It's families I feel sorry for, you're looking at a minimum cost of £100 per person and if their kids are over 12 they're probably fucked anyway as some popular countries won't let them in unless they're double jabbed
I used to work for an Airline ..its surprising how many have tested positive on arrival who were negative 48 hrs before departure ,not many but there are a fewIt's becoming tiresome and I know people will quote the "We're in a pandemic what do you expect?" at me, but still We're almost two years; in now and at some point you have to try and live a life, while doing your best to comply.

Came back from Spain in Sep ,we were all tested 48 before departure yet we still got pinged on arrival and had to do a further test
Came back from Egypt on Fri night,had a drive through PCR test sat, test results negative 6am this morn so free to go
slightly more expensive i think but a lot quicker
I was just about to book a trip somewhere sunny..then omicron hits. I'll look again in the new year. Dogshit,..

Yes you still have 48 hours to pick up the bug which kind of makes the test pointless. Lateral flow tests give results in less than 30 me minutes. How about everyone does one prior to boarding? No doubts at all then.

Yes I'm financially committed now or I'd have fucked it off myself.
Where are you getting 3 tests from mate? The way I’m reading it is that it’s 1 test 48 hours or less before you fly home, and a PCR before the end of the 2nd day upon return
Yes two, not sure where I got three from.

Currently in Lanzarote for a week, fly back Tuesday, with rule changes at home for when we get back changing just before we left after I'd ordered and collected what I needed & rule changes to actually get back coupled with Mrs Moon's vaccination's not being recognised with then being a trial one last year she's deemed as 'unclean' ....it's added on around £200 more to our week's holiday price on top of the hundred we were expecting.....and loads of form filling etc.It's becoming tiresome and I know people will quote the "We're in a pandemic what do you expect?" at me, but still We're almost two years; in now and at some point you have to try and live a life, while doing your best to comply.

We'd normally have at least 2 or 3 trips to some sun but have pulled into 1 a year the last couple of years, think we'll just not bother anymore unless the world is more stable.
Crazy thing is we're prorata more dangerous to the locals and when home will have been in a safer environment for a week in an area with a much lower pop score as well.
Nice earner for some, there's no reason from a 'green country' to need anything more than a LFT initially.
Anyway, hopefully we get back ok with the red tape and you enjoy your trip and break.
