Fly me to the Moon - your 3rd travel Megathread - read OP

I just got my vaccine cert….must be another batch going out tonight. The relief! Roll on the holidays now

Which is why they are being particularly cautious regarding the Delta variant.

Imagine the hospitalisation rates there if the Delta variant was to become established.

Britain remains the biggest Delta risk in Europe.

Biggest risk are countries riddled with it but decide to push on with reopenings.

Incidence rate in Bulgaria is minute compared to the UK, it's 1/60th of the UK rate. But of course the UK is doing a stellar job cause they test more..... because.... using your words, they are riddled.

You seem to see mass testing as a how well a country is doing, like more testing regardless of any other metric is how you define success.

Got my second dose today. Now, the wait for the vaccine cert.

And Aer Lingus very kindly cancelled my flight to Spain.... aaahhh

From that article it's not in place for Bulgarian citizens and their families. I'd say the majority of people who would of been travelling to Bulgaria this summer from England would be Bulgarian citizens anyway so I don't think this will be very effective. They really need to try promote the vaccines over there as the uptake is extremely low so far.

No problem getting to PL with vaccination card - accepted there with no problems. On the way back you need to show prove of PCR before check in and/or boarding (subject to change after 19/7)

I was in a panic trying to use the SPH app to record my details to travel to Spain next week but it keeps failing at the last point giving an error about health details. I used it no problem last year and the only difference is adding my QR code from my vaccination certificate.

So I used the online website and was able to get the QR code. But it's so 1980's having to print out and present the paper version now.

From July 19, do you need to fill in passenger locator form if coming from the UK?

Hi .daughter and grandson (8) flying from uk on 1st of august ..she is getting her 2nd pfizer on the 27th of july ..will she be considered fully vaccinated or will she need to do a PCR. Did i read correctly that under 12,s dont require a PCR .. thanks in advance for any help

More political silly beggars. BoJo wants everyone holidaying in blighty not heading off spending Euros. Theres absolutely no justifying that when there's no quarantine on return from Spain which is riddled.

Folks, coming home tomorrow from Spain via Belfast.

have the antigen test here, the NI and uk websites say we need to fill out the passenger locator form. It links to the gov.uk form,

What are your travel plans?I plan to:

(Required)

Stay in the UK

Travel to the UK more than once within 48 hours, for example as a haulier or crew member

Change flights in the UK within 24 hours, without going through UK border control

have tried fill the form out twice and always ends up here no matter what you pick.

has anyone had similar problem and found a fix? I selected stay in UK but it asks for a uk postal address and that.

thanks.

Couldnt figure out why 19th July was chosen as the date for resuming non-essential travel when rest of Europe had on 1st or before, but of course just realised that the Dail recess started yesterday. It would have been rude to block the hard working lads/lassies from taking a well-deserved break abroad!!
