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

I'm not sure it needed attention being brought to it for it to be implemented.

It had been said before Christmas that the certs would be reissued in January then the EU came out with the booster requirment so either way it was getting done, just a case of when in January

Delighted for ya flubber and for anyone else travelling. I was stuck paying for them last week but it was a small price to pay to get off this rock for a while. Enjoy your trip and long live travel!

Looks like you got your two wishes sorted today 😉 - pre-arrival testing dropped and boosters are to be added to the Covid cert by 15th of Jan. I think it was an EU requirement to have all certs updated by that date.

It's great news really - just removes another hassle of travelling. My wife and I nipped over to North Wales for New Year to see her family and I had paid for a couple of self-administered tests to be verified by a medical company. Certificate looked completely kosher but of course, when I arrived back into Dublin Port from Holyhead, no documentation was checked. Still, nice not to have to worry about it in the future.

Other countries have been releasing them right after booster vac.

Until recently there was no clear guidance from the Irish gov.

Maybe I heard wrong, but there was a guy on the radio saying they all be done on or before the 15th. Infact the first batch would go live at midnight tonight. And if all went well they roll it out over the next few days.

Not too sure if has already been said but if you just received 2 shots and have not had the booster just yet, your Covid cert will expire 9 months after your second dose.

AND I must have been one of the first - they definitely heard my whinging. Because an email came in with the updated Cert today.

Is it just a matter of doing the antigen test 2 days before your depature date and bringing the test with you as you go through Dublin and Tenerife airports? Is it that straightforward? It doesn't give the exact procedure anywhere online so I'm presuming its that straightforward?

Has anyone departed from Dublin Airport this week?

I'm just trying to gauge how bad the wait is at security at the moment ahead of a trip this weekend. I would guess passenger numbers are down from Christmas levels but they probably have the same level of staffing challenges...

Flew out on New Years day with KLM via amsterdam to other EU country.And returned back to cork 3 days later.Nobody ever asked me for any Vaccination cert or test(needed for my final destionation).When landed at my destination ,same there(just passport).they assume airline checks I think.Same was on return journey.I never tok out my Covid docs out of my bag to show anyone.

Same here with KLM via Amsterdam to a non-EU country. KLM check in at Dublin was terrible on the 27th, some people in the queue for an hour and a half weren't checked in when they closed check-in for our flight.
