Covid and travel discussion

[feedthegoat27]

Balearics haven’t gone amber. Talk of it in the Daily Fail but just checked the Gov website and it’s still green. We’re in Majorca, due back on the 18th. If it goes amber we’ll just stay another day because on 19th you can come home and not quarantine.

It has.

It will be the same next year and probably for the next 5 years minimum. There's also going to be the virus and there's always going to be a variant of concern.

The reality is nothing will ever be the same again sadly.
I wonder if holidays with the extortionate testing and holiday prices will just now be for the rich.

Should do, so long as the destination isn't against FCDO advice.

Decent question, I would think yes especially if you have purchased the insurance through the Holliday seller.

Weighing it up, I can't see anywhere in Europe going red this summer. I don't think we have the capacity to quarantine people en masse, it would be a disaster to allow travel and then pull it with large numbers of Brits Abroad that would then need to hotel quarantine. Another thing coming down the line is approx. 100k foreign students from red list countries at the end of the summer holiday period that will need to quarantine. We don't have the capacity to quarantine them and large numbers of Brits Abroad.

Traffic lights and Foreign office advise use different criteria.

The foreign office changed the advice for amber countries last week after the double jab announcement

I have now! I’d just come off the gov site and it was still green.Very confusing! When does the Balearics going amber take effect?! They normally give it a few days in advance…
