Maybe Brexit wasn't a bad idea after all.

UK may put Europe off limits...

BRITAIN may slap ALL of Europe on its travel ban “red list”, a health minister warned last night.

And the threat of the ban has caused airlines to axe summer flights, throwing Brit holidaymakes' plans into chaos.

4The UK may slap all of its European neighbours on a travel ban 'red list'Credit: Louis Wood News Group Newspaper LtdHealth minister Lord Bethell said Britain’s neighbours could be put on the no-go list as he accused them of “rejecting” vaccination.

British Airways and EasyJet have confirmed they will cut back on summer flights across Europe in July and August.

It comes as Brits face an official holiday ban in law from Monday - with the risk of a £5,000 fine for escaping.

Just 10% of adults have received a first vaccine dose in the EU - compared to more than 50% in Britain.

Same time last year many of us witnessed the international dump to nearly zero. Example: Scarce United 737 flights back and forth from Guam to Narita during the week. 218 seats I believe, 17 pax including myself per my count. They were running multiple 777s daily prior to this debacle. JAL and ANA had it right, 3 years before any substantial gains will be seen. International (true water crossings) is toast. I would guess forget 2021 and pin those hopes on 2022.

Hope things “roar” back and are sustained like many have declared. Just left Miami yesterday after a few days. Packed 777 into MIA from LAX a few days earlier with our nations “not so best” dressed / manners. Very next day Miami-Dade crushes their beaches (hoping to slow the fools down a bit) with an 8PM curfew so there’s that. Our hotels not even close to the beach and it still had plenty issues within its footprint. So much quieter flying around on the other continents for the time being so that’s a plus. Glad to be finished with training.

Default new UK rules for crews

The UK’s Covid-related entry rules are starting to get a bit confusing. So here’s the no-nonsense lowdown on what you need to know if you’re planning a flight to the UK.

Quarantine Rules

Passengers:
  • The UK closed all travel corridors from January 18. This means there will now be no exemptions to the quarantine-on-arrival rules – all inbound international passengers (including UK citizens) will need to self-isolate for ten days. In most cases, you can reduce this by getting a test after five daysin the country.
Crew:
  • UK-based crew are exempt, and do not need to self-isolate on arrival. Foreign crew must self-isolate in the hotel whilst on layover. You can read the government guidance on this here.
  • From Apr 6, there’s a new rule – all crew who are staying in England for longer than two days will be required to take a Covid test before the end of day two (arrivals into Scotland and Northern Ireland are exempt). Those remaining in England for any longer than 2 days will then be required to take a further test every 3 days – typically on days 5 and 8. If you’re staying for less than 2 days then no test is required. Crew do not need to isolate during this period unless they test positive

EU still way behind on vaccinations for a variety of reasons:

layovers sound fun... can’t wait to be locked in the club quarters for a day.
