when are you going?Im going next Friday! I went to Dubai a few months ago and it was such a hassle getting PCRs constantly - I had to get 3 in total and isolate, even though I was vaccinated and tested negative.from what i see at the moment you don't have to quarantine, and your sister will have to get tested with either a pcr or rapid test! the nhs code should be fine
I was worried it would be the same for Turkey, thank you for clearing it up for me
Booked my first holiday abroad 2 years ago. Got cancelled because of covid... trying again very soon for end of September/beginning of October. What would people recommend for their first holiday abroad and what companies for package deals/ all inclusive thanks.. thinking either salou or Portugal with my mum too
thanks.. thinking either salou or Portugal with my mum tooturkey seems to be quite simple when it comes to travel during covidIm going next Friday!

you're welcome, i hope you have an amazing time!We book flights directly. Hotels/apartments it depends. I'm a big fan of hotels.com as you get a free night with them for every 10 you book and stay. I also do book hotels directly a lot as well as that tends to be where you can often get good offers.
If you are looking for the stereotypical sun and fun type package type holiday then its very difficult to go wrong with Spain! Salou is fun as it has Port Aventura close by if you are into theme parks - its a great one! Its also not too far from Barcelona for a day trip for cultural activities or to go shopping.Booked my first holiday abroad 2 years ago.

We are not package holiday type people at all but went to Tenerife for a week last year and it was actually really lovely. The weather was gorgeous and it was so relaxing - they have an amazing water park there called Siam Park which was so good and they do a cool excursion where you go up the mountain and watch the sunset then stargaze.

Iām travelling by Eurostar in February to Paris, I need to present a negative Antigen or PCR test - I had covid at Christmas and so did my best friend who I will be travelling with, so will both be traveling within 90 days of a positive result. Are we best going for an antigen one instead of PCR?
Yes the PCR is the one likely to pick up an old virus. If antigen is allowed I think its always the one to go for anyway as it tends to be cheaper and a lot faster results
i think this is the best time to visit Toronto, not too cold not too hot. I visited in August 2018 during a HEATWAVE and I regretted it and then April 2019 and it was just way too rainy and cold for me.
You should try Yorkville crepes if you are a crepe lover like me
when did you visit Dubai? I flew to Dubai from Greece in September and I only needed one PCR test before arrival. I was also vaccinated.Im going next Friday!

I also went in September! But they said I needed one PCR before travel, as well as a PCR before I left (48 hours before travel, I did this in the hotel), and a test when I came back.

Thanks for the heads up, my Husband is going to Germany for work in 2 weeks and was not aware of this. In his UK office they have been provided with several company logo fabric masks to wear on site. But are not using medical masks - hubby will talk to his boss on Monday about them providing more appropriate masks for his trip to avoid a scene!
More on topic we have a week booked in Cornwall in June and have a week booked off work in September but no firm plans of where we want to go yet. But will be somewhere in England as i don't fly!!
The second and third PCR tests were required for your arrival back to your country if I understood correctly. Every country has different requirements.. I stayed in Voco Hotel and the view was amazing! Where did you stay if I may ask?
Pre covid I went to Dubai twice, service at jumeirah zabeel saray was great, the palm was distinctly mediocre.Yes I needed them to travel back to England. I stayed in Jumeriah Al Qasr - absolutely incredible hotel, the best Iāve stayed in, in Dubai. And I go to Dubai every year
Iāve not stayed in the Voco, how was it?
Hopefully off Dubai next month to stay at the jumeirah Mina a Salam and canāt wait!
Any restaurant recommendations?
Mina a Salam is gorgeous, itās definitely on my list
love that you have a gorgeous beach close by and youāre not too far from downtown eitherwith Al Qasr we requested half board, so we could have breakfast and then either lunch/dinner included and it was the best thing. We would have breakfast, go out for the day, and have a lovely dinner in the evening in one of the restaurants nearby (they let you have a starter, main and dessert). If you can do this I highly recommend, the restaurants are actually really good! (Attached picture of our favourite one - Villa beach, with the best view)
In terms of other restaurants, what cuisine do you like? Some of my faves are Scalini, Nobu, Bosporus, the Shakespeare and co cafe is amazing for lunch, eggspectation for breakfast, Abd el wahab (amazing view of fountain, but gets crowded in evenings)

Definitely go! Itās beautifulIām taking down all these Dubai tips and tricks, Iād really like to go and so would my boyfriend. My brother in law will always stress that Abu Dhabi is better though
and youāre always guaranteed good weather 
Abu Dhabi is nice too, I wanted to visit but they were so strict with covid rules and required me to take another PCR to enter one place in Dubai that I highly recommend is global village, itās a huge amusement park with entrances to different ācountriesā, where you can sample food from that country, local gifts etc. thereās also a theme park and they do regular shows like dancing
I donāt think itās open for the entire year though
Had anyone been to both north and south Thailand, if so which did you prefer?
