Two new flights from Manchester on a Tuesday, both arrived this evening, Ryanair and Easyjet

They have cancelled my flight from Manchester on 4th August, maybe to consolidate to a Tuesday. They made it very easy, and free, to switch to the Tuesday so no problems from me, means an extra days holiday  ;D

The Times are reporting this morning that quarantine free travel for the double jabbed will start on 26th July for UK citizens. This would be fantastic news and long overdue.

I’d definitely be looking to book independent this year, some great flight prices about with the budget airlines. Also lots of availability for accommodation at the same great value as always.

Have the murmours of not having to isolate on return to the UK if you’ve had both jabs given a bit of hope ???

I think it’s only a matter of time, surely. Hopefully sooner (ie now) rather than later.

We intend to go in September if its still amber-we have both been fully vaccinated and , like Rod, we were there last September and felt safer than in the UK. At the moment we have the equipment to work from home (it took 10 months of travelling in to work daily before our employer (HM Government) saw sense and allowed us to WFH though...) I refuse to spend the rest of my life hiding away -we have done everything we can to protect the population against Covid, time to start living again.

Here here. Good for you and I hope plenty of others have the same attitude and are able to travel despite the amber and need to isolate.

Over the weekend along with other Greek destinations, charters have started to arrive.  In Corfu we had flights on both Saturday & Sunday from Paris, Dusseldorf, Brussels and Zurich.  Today Monday 17th there are 2 flights on route due in within the next hour from Gatwick & Manchester.

That’s fantastic news Lesley. Let’s hope the village fills up quickly and that Corfu goes on the next green list.

How can I asses the the risk if I have no information about whether someone else is a potential spreader during a pandemic?

Everyone is a potential spreader whether they are vaccinated or not remember.

The vaccine won't cover all varients of the virus, that is why we won't travel abroad, in the near future.

Thats fair enough and understandable. It’s you taking control of your own acceptable levels of risk. It’s what everyone should be doing.

If you’ve been vaccinated you are covered from serious illness or death, isn’t that what we’ve been told ever since the vaccines were approved?

There’s a multitude of illnesses, some more severe than others, that can be passed from one person to the next and we don’t have the right to demand to see other people’s medical records for these illnesses.

At some point each and every one of us is going to have to take control of our own levels of risk. If you are vaccinated and still scared of travelling just incase you may come into contact with an unvaccinated person, then you are going to have to deal with that, or not travel.

There's not mention of test before returning - just a PCR test after arriving back, or two if returning from an amber zone. Nobody sane would go to a red zone!

Ideally, regions would be separately coded. At the current levels, Corfu would probably be amber and Attica red. But by (say) July Corfu will probably be green. However, there are three flights a day to Athens or Thessaloniki, so how do you stop people flying to Corfu and then staging on to Athens and back? Indirect flights have been a problem with the UK's current border controls.

I think that the rules for outgoing passengers should be dictated by the airline and/or the host country. I would like to know that people on my flight have been vaccinated or tested.
 

Why? You’ve had the vaccine to protect yourself, you are now protected. There will always be an element of risk and there will always be the chance that you may be sat next to somebody who hasn’t been vaccinated for medical reasons. That shouldn’t be your concern.

Go and watch the Greek Prime Ministers interview that he did with Bloomberg last week. He spelled out very clearly that Greece intends to open up this summer, for foreign visitors that are vaccinated or supply a negative test, all without the need to quarantine. He couldn’t have made it any clearer.

It's unfortunate that age is becoming a factor in all this.

It really isn’t.

You are just jumping to conclusions that those vaccinated will be able to holiday in Corfu whilst those unvaccinated won’t. 

So far there is nothing concrete to back that up and all current information points to a negative test will be enough, certainly for this seasons atleast.

And finally let’s be thankful that we opted out of the Euro vaccine procurement program, what a mess we’d still be in if we were waiting on the commission to  buy and supply our vaccines.

I could have swore that the now shamed Xfactor contestant Danny Tetley was staying at the Barras last August. I can’t imagine they’ll let him out to visit again this year.
