Holiday advice

[Two Gun Bob]

Well done Portugal on your newly installed bridge and wish you all the very best. Happy that the Greeks are keeping their 7 day average below the 20. Currently around the 14 if I'm not mistaken and such a short tourist window to play with. Bless them all.

Dont go abroad this year
It's not worth the risk.

Disagree completely.
As long as people are aware that things can change very quickly, then it's a great time to crack on.

You'll never get the hotels and resorts as quiet as they are at this peak travel window, often at prices that you'll never see again for summer travel, so make the most of it I say.

All being well I've got Zante next weekend, Gran Canaria end of Sept and Zante again early October.
Fingers crossed they all go ahead but I won't lose my shit if they don't.
All 3 are only short breaks as well and with the travel announcements seemingly every Thursday we shouldn't be caught short in that respect (IE we'll know before travel if quarantine is in place, and then obv won't go, advice shouldn't change when out there)

correct, it's also stupid that I can go to Oldham where the rate is a lot higher than in Croatia. Not that's I'd f*cking want to.

168 COVID deaths in Croatia but yeah of course it's not safe for us to visit.....facepalm.

Need Greece to remain under 300 cases a day then that should keep it below the 20 per 100k population quarantine threshold.

It's all utter horseshit from this bunch of charlatans in charge though. From top to bottom, inept and useless beyond belief.

I hope you have a great time.
I had Tenerife booked for October but sadly I cancelled it as I was worried about the quarantine.

STA Travel have ceased trading.

The travel industry will be a carcass before long, as an absolute minimum we really need an extension on the furlough scheme as it's not like travel is gonna be in demand again from 1st Nov when it ends.

Without further help there will be many more companies suffering the same fate as STA, Cruise & Maritime, Funway and countless others.

I don't suppose if anybody "in the know" has info on whether Croatia is likely to still be on the list in September? My gut feel and looking at the rates (unless they dramatically drop this week) is that they will remain on it until at least mid-September.

I spoke to Jet 2 who were REALLY helpful but they can't accommodate change of destination until after 31st Aug once the next review has taken place. Fortunately if it's still on the naughty list I can change destination after 31st Aug but rather sort things this week in case Greece is added next week and Jet2 will have an influx of calls again..

Looking at the way it’s taking off again I’d expect all of Europe to be listed by mid September.

 

[burnley blue mcfc]

Im in zante at min & its beautiful, the greeks are so helpful the place is spotless i feel totally safe here

 

[denislawsbackheel]

Greece is on the verge of being listed.
Two weeks ago it was reporting 6 cases per 100,000
Now it’s 14 cases per 100,000.
As soon as it gets to 20 it goes on the list.
