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

Thank you, it’s exactly for the reason you stated that we want cover. 3 of us are vaccinated, the 15 year old unfortunately not done yet & she will need a negative PCR coming back home, it’s just in case this does not come back negative & one of us has to stay.

I will give Allianz a ring.

thank you

We’re flying into spain & same as portugal, some of the regions are providing that cover but unfortunately where we are going isn’t.

Not sure if anyone has already posted the ECDC maps from yesterday.

Apart from Ireland, there's a very strong correlation between seaside tourist destinations and case numbers.

Even Iceland, which was previously one of the very few green regions, is getting involved in some red action.

In Ireland, Leinster and Munster are valiantly holding back the Donegal crimson tide.

Greece doing spectacularly well to keep their tourist areas in lighter red, considering how much they've opened up this summer.

Despite the worsening case numbers I don't think any of these countries have hit the panic button, presumably because hospital/ICU numbers remain low and there is no longer any correlation between the two.

Hi folks. 

I’m heading to Portugal in mid September for a week. 

Am I right to say that a PLF needs to be completed for Portugal and for Ireland?

Is there any specific time frame that both forms need to be completed in?

In other words could I complete both of them now if I so wished ?

Thanks in advance.

Filling out our locator forms today for travel to Switzerland, the buzz is building, can't wait to get out of here!!

if you don’t mind can you tell me what travel insurance company you are using for Italy? I am having awful trouble trying to decipher the policies and what covers you for covid and what doesn’t.

Nope. They'll see you departed Ireland, that's it.

Can the PLF be filled out before the 72 hour window, tried to fill it out but won’t allow me complete it ? We will be travelling with tests nobody is jabbed in our family

Flew out of Dublin Friday to Faro. Airport was busier than I expected but no queue for T2 security or self bag drop.

Big queue for butlers but I think they were one of only 2 places open for food. Escalators closed to go upstairs to the burger King and restaurant. Slaney was open but not sure if they were doing food.

I had printed all certs and locator forms and had them inside each passport. Found it easier than trying to find different QR codes e.t.c. they were checked at boarding but not scanned.

Aer lingus have a very limited menu basically just drinks and bars...no sandwiches or even crisps. We bought sandwiches in wh Smith before boarding.

When we landed forms were looked out but not scanned but our passports were and we were asked to remove masks to check pictures.

QR code for cert was scanned on arrival to the hotel.

Other than that you just follow the same measures you would at home and enjoy the holiday:-) although mask wearing amongst the brits in the hotel isn't great. An angry Portuguese man follows them around to tell them to put them on lol

Didn’t ask me for seat number but does say filled in 72 hours before arrival. I’m going to try contact someone in the DFA for clarity. Thanks

As far as I remember, adding your seat number is optional.

Ill be going this saturday to Ireland also Ryanair from Spain.

So apart from vaccine cert and PLF is anything else needed ?

Do I need to print the PLFs ? I'll print the vaccine certs and copies on my phone to be sure to be sure.

Also kids under 12 don't need PCR's right ?

Getting past from Billy to Jack and back again trying to get DCC for vaccination completed end of May via GP in local health center. Going to try TD route in desperation.
