The clever people are those who keep quiet about where they are going and so if it goes Amber while you're there you can happily do what you want when you get back.
Honestly I'd love to but it's just so fucked at the moment. One of the best elements of a holiday is looking forward to it but all this tit has taken that away from it. I really get why the travel industry is so pissed off. They can't even offer anything because they're at the governments (and other countries) whim.If you’re thinking about going, please please go. The UK’s travel industry is on its knees and needs all of the support it can get and they are getting no help at all from the government.
There are so many different situations and priorities. Having kids or not also does a big difference. While many people have struggled during the pandemic, those for example who have quite good wages and used to go out a lot (restaurants, clubs, shops, gym, cinema....) have obviously saved A LOT of money while everything was closed.
My husbands train fares are stupidly expensive. His boss insists on him and his team being in the office. He WFH for about 6 weeks then was back in full time.
I just save like crazy so I always have a good amount if I ever want to go anywhere. Pandemic helped with that as well. People shouldn't ever compare finances though as everyone's situation is different.
You're right of course. If just bugs me that we earn good money and still can't go away when we'd like. First World problems I know and I'm incredibly grateful for the life that I have.
For amber this year though you still have to do the 2 mandatory tests on return so its not ideal.
Are the quarantine hotels at the airport? The airport staff were escorting travellers to their airports last year.
Very frustrating, can he find a closer job or one where he can work from home?
Im not sure about the hotels! They are just for red list at the moment.
We are due to go 19th after 2 previous moves (TUI so won’t refund and original holiday should have been May 2020) keeping everything crossed. Not that it matters for the quarantine it’s the cost of extra testing that’ll piss me off big time.
Every 3 weeks, the next is on Thursday Aug 5th although they did the last one a day early.
Thank you. My plan is hopefully to book days off just after they release it and book to go to a green list country straight away
is it usually the next day it changes? So say 5th august they announce say Greece will be green it’ll be 4am(?) on 6th it changes?They tend to come into action the following Monday to allow travellers to make plans should they need to.Thank you. My plan is hopefully to book days off just after they release it and book to go to a green list country straight away
Oh thanks I haven’t kept upto date with it as I didn’t think I’d be able to go for a while
