Holidaying abroad this year

[Luna17]

Just back from Dalyan, Turkey and no issues with flights (Jet2), or with anything over there.

What a great place (no Russkis unlike Antalya) and the taxi boat ride to Itzuzu beach from Dalyan centre is something special.

And for those who love their nature, seeing the turtles is fabulous.

icelandic volcanoes

Got stuck in Thailand 2010 because of that. Nice free week all paid for

 

[JHmackem]

Off to Benidorm for 4 nights in October. Covid pass is valid until next February so not expecting any problems.

 

[KeefBeer]

Going to Hurghada Egypt in October
Booked in 2019 then Thomas Cook goes tits up followed by Covid
I used to take the piss out of people using travel agents to book all inclusive holidays in giant resort hotels and yet that’s exactly what I’ve done.

As much as yorkshire is lovely, that's a mad price to pay considering i'm off to Tobago for a week soon, AI for around 900..

We looked at staying in the UK but the last self catering I did in the lakes cost an absolute fortune

And yes I know look at me etc etc

For 1 week?, did Tobago in 2008, I liked it, but far too many all inclusives

 

[Mackem DJ]

No. They wave you through the Spanish airports, They merely maintain a presence

Dangerous and foolish reply btw ^^^

Got waved through in Tenerife a few weeks ago. Asked if you had a certificate but they didn't want to see it.

Only going on my experience from flying into Spain 4 times in as many months. The medical trans are making random checks but not dropping anyone on technicalities from what Ive seen

Yeah it was cheaper than Antigua (which is mad since you have to stop there) and i can only do a week due to weddings etc.

Will explore a little mind as it looks interesting in the north

Actually, we flew into Madrid a couple of weeks ago and they were checking everyone's covid passes as we passed security. Looked like they were ready with tests for anyone who didn't have one, presumably at a cost (though we didn't need to find out). Nothing coming into the UK (Edinburgh) on the way back this week.

So just to confirm when going to Spain.
Three jabs is jobs a goodun and no time limit on the last jab.
Two jabs you have to have had it within 270 days?

Correct.

 

[Lambchops]

Correct.

Another benefit of being a 3rd country - no requirements for us in the EU - f***ing barmy

 

[luvulongtime]

hopefully off to Brisbane at xmas to see me 3 year old grandson

I've just got back. You'll be glad you're in a resort hotel if you go out and about. Don't change any money before you go, the rate over there is far better. They take pounds and US dollars, Egyptian pounds is much easier for getting by. Everyone is after tips, even the pool lifeguard. The Marina is nice with loads of restaurants. There's a bar called Luca's ran by cockney lad. He only charges £2 for an extra large draught beer and does canny food.

Thanks for that.
We are staying at the Malmouk Palace for the 5th time.
Don’t mind the tipping, normally $10 a week in advance to a pool lad, beach barman and room attendant.
Have been to the Marina a couple of times, canny day out.
The taxi we got to it sat outside 7 hours until we left!!

 

[Longy]

Going to Salou next week. My 17 year old has had 2 jabs and will be 261 days since last one. I think the limit is 270, they not gonna question it are they? Are they

No. They wave you through the Spanish airports, They merely maintain a presence

Ours got checked at Palma airport a week ago mind. We're three jabbed, but I wouldn't be chancing it based on a couple of replies on here.

I'm going to Majorca for a long weekend next week and was going to ask what Palma was like.

Palma is a much underrated city and never overcrowded as most people head straight to the beach resorts. Not enough there for a week but a long weekend is ideal.
