Travel to the UK

I wonder if we ( well those on less than 40k income for family) will be getting a bonus to staycation this year like the Italians?

Saw 4 plane tracks in the sky yesterday. First time for months. Not hears the 6am transatlantic flights coming in. Think they are all going to Heathrow. France is looking into closing the border with Spain due to new spikes in Spain. doubt they will though.

The ferry is definitely going between Bilbao and the UK. One just leaving the port now

I am keeping a close eye on things such as the increase in cases in the under 40s, mainly asymptomatic, and the spikes in holiday places like Marbella. Some of these are linked to family parties but, nevertheless, they are spikes. I really do not think there will be another total lockdown anywhere but I would not like to do an ‘Olive’ and get stuck for five months in the ‘wrong’ country.

I'm confused - which I know is not unusual, but I'm still confused.....

Some posters seem to be saying that a completed Spanish Travel Form is needed for flights from Spain to the UK? Is that correct please? I cannot find that requirement on the FCO website......

Help........

[Lavanda]

You DO have to do the forms, yes.

ALL FORMS MUST BE COMPLETED BEFORE TRAVEL
You will be asked to show proof during your journey

UK to Spain requires Spanish health form. Spain to Uk requires Uk form.

The UK has brought back the 14 quarantine for Spain

Yeah just saw that mark. prob gonna put a nail in... for any school holiday breaks and the rest of the summer season. Unless you are working from home who can afford to take the risk. We have family coming out in a month so hopefully changed again by then although at the mo they are working from home anyway.

Cant see how the hospitality sector in spain is going to survive this.

Can’t see it being lifted until Spain’s infection rate (39 per 100,000) matches uk (15 per 100,000).

60% reduction ain’t trivial. WTF sanctioned opening nightclubs? :wtf:q
