My friend travelled yesterday out of terminal 1 Manchester and said thank god she had fast track and that they weren’t doing baggage drop because the queues were huuuuuge she said! I’ve got another friend travelling next week out of Manchester so we will see!
Anyone have any idea what the queues at Gatwick have been like?
thanks Ivy! hope you’re having fun, we’re missing you over on the mafs thread

I’m getting all theses suggestions downFor those posting about Palma - really recommend 49 Steps and Mar de Nudos near the port area for food/cocktails. Had a lovely bottomless brunch in Palma Nova at a place called Barbuda also.
This was the view from 49 Steps

I was there last week and breezed through, even though they told us to come 3 hours early.
I got there at 4.30am and didn’t leave security until going up to 7am! Queues were near the main doors
@noseybirdxo I’m back home now! You’ll have the best time
Mental! Glad I missed the rush week. I think around Easter time has always been a bit chaotic at airports anyway. Lack of staff doesn't help though which they keep saying is a big problem.I got there at 4.30am and didn’t leave security until going up to 7am! Queues were near the main doors

I'm just hoping they get it sorted for Summer. Think there's going to be a mass exodus of Brits this year
I’ll be hitting you up for all things when we finally book it! I’ve started saving bits for now already but will look to officially start planning it once my best friends asked all her bridesmaids etc! it won’t be till next year anyway! xxI got there at 4.30am and didn’t leave security until going up to 7am!

Yes as long as you are double vaccinated (and the last one is max 9 months old) you can just come. The official rule is masks on public transport and hospitals but there are still quite a few places that want you to wear a mask so best to always have one in your pocket as well as some places like clubs might want a neg test as well as your vaccine status. It’s a bit chaotic at the moment but you’ll be fine.
Hoping to visit friends in Cologne, Paris and Amsterdam this summer and autumn, I want to make plans in advance but with the news of new closures from China, I'm worried that tit will hit the fan again. I've had quite enough of it. The last time I took a flight was a couple months ago, the staff at the bench was refusing to check some guy in because he was 5 minutes late for the check in, since was stuck in the enormous queue. They were telling everyone to come to the airport 3 hours early, what tf will anyone do at an airport for 3 hours, especially for a domestic flight?! Madness. I wish we could take trains everywhere but it's so expensive.
A supervised one is an antigenic in a pharmacy ?
We do these in France, in almost all pharmacies, it's connected to the social security system (like the NHS) and you have your result in 15 minutes or less, sent to your phone (or printed on paper at the pharmacy if you wish). It's free if you have your jabs or if you are under 18 years old. Otherwise, it's 20 euros per person (was 25€ before april). PCR is free too under the same conditions (or 43 or 44€) but I think it's longer to have the result).
Yes similar, except you can do it via Teams/FaceTime - really simple process to be honest but just annoying that you have the worry beforehand.
China are still going down the zero covid route so they are constantly going to be closing things unless they change their strategy
I had my 2nd jab 1st sep and going 23rd may. I think that might be pushing it abit, we're going to a gig at admiralsplast (sp?) It says no masks needed but will deffo be taking one. Thank you for your help !
Belfast is good for a short city break. As many have recommended, the Giants Causeway is the most popular tourist attraction in general in N.Ireland so that is worth doing if you want to leave the city.
Many tourists do the black cab tours which go round many of the murals in Belfast. I've heard from others they are meant to be very informative and interesting! The bus tour is also good. There is also the Titanic Museum and Crumlin Road Gaol which are popular attractions.
Belfast has a good selection of restaurants and bars, many with live music, particularly on the weekends and a nice local market which opens on the weekends too. There are also local food and drinks tours which are meant to be great.
Second all of what you said, however I’ll just add here that my father in law is Belfast born and bred and has known of locals not liking the bus tour that shows all the murals and there’s been stories of them being egged
I haven't done the bus tour in years - I did as a teen once on a school trip with some foreign exchange students who were visiting so you could be right haha.Second all of what you said, however I’ll just add here that my father in law is Belfast born and bred and has known of locals not liking the bus tour that shows all the murals and there’s been stories of them being egged
I saw a few documentaries/reports on TV last January about Northern Ireland today, because of the Bloody Sunday's anniversary. Very interesting and made me want to visit, but I was astonished how these walls are still there (not only for the murals) and people still feel safer with them, not only walls but sometimes balconies with fences. And that was just the visible part.
Has anyone travelled to Denmark (specifically Copenhagen) recently? We are going next week and as I understand it there are no restrictions in place at all (even for the unvaccinated) does this mean boarding etc will be the same as pre-covid? There’s nothing extra they’ll ask for other than boarding pass and passport? This is our first trip in the new “covid world” so I’m a little stressed about getting it all right! Any help would be greatly appreciated
Just had a look and yes it appears it should just be exactly the same experience travelling as it was prior to covid. I’m going to Norway next month and it’s the same there, hoping it stays that way!
We're hoping to go to Belfast/NI in the summer via the Isle of Man. We met some lovely people from NI on a cruise who totally sold it to us!
