Not quite, no - Astra Zeneca have not even submitted their vaccine for approval in the US yet. The last item of news on this was that they were mulling going for full approval rather than seeking EUA first. Frankly, I'm not sure why they'd waste the time and effort - the US is over-flowing...

Norwegian ceasing all long-haul operations, meaning over 1,000 jobs lost at LGW.

Might need to adjust that 70/30 to a more favourable chance... The White House is strongly considering lifting sweeping restrictions on travel from the European Union and the United Kingdom, an administration official confirmed. Discussions have been ongoing for several weeks about lifting the...

Gut feel is yes. I'd put it at something like 70/30. The US put their "bad list" in place way back when and, as far as I am aware, they've not changed it since, making no allowance for changing conditions in countries in the way we have done, as we've moved countries from "good" to "bad" and...

No idea but the cancellation terms are decent enough. We’re not actually banned from entering the US - any British citizen could head there today. You will, however, have to spend two weeks en route in one of their “safe” countries before your onward flight to the US. I appreciate this...

No, nothing booked other than the flights thus far, but you are correct - you have to book a park for a specific day. There's been no park-hopping, but a single hop, after 2pm, is being introduced. Still no Fastpasses, no ADRs, no character meets, no parades, no fireworks, most shows are not...

The VA BF sale has started already with some excellent Upper fares, and also some great miles redemptions available. No good to me because I've already booked cheap seats as above!

There was a spate of cheap flights available a short while back. On 11th October, I booked three direct Virgin London to Orlando returns, with both legs within the school summer holidays, inclusive of seat reservations and bags for £828. In normal times you'd be looking at more than that for...

Suggestion for some little divider things to help prevent droplet transmission on aircraft. https://edition.cnn.com/travel/article/airplane-shield-seat-solution/index.html

Meanwhile in America 2... United Airlines said Wednesday it now requires all passengers to self-certify their health prior to boarding a flight. The airline is the first to require all passengers to complete a health questionnaire to screen for coronavirus as part of checking in. The...

Meanwhile in America... American Airlines says it will activate more than 140 planes than have been in storage due to the coronavirus pandemic. “We’re expecting to move 83 Airbus A320 Family (A319, A320 and A321) aircraft and 58 Boeing 737 aircraft from storage to the active fleet to support...

Moving to Virgin post-Covid? I'd be surprised if Virgin are recruiting. A friend is a Virgin 747 pilot. He has a very nice life - at home far more often than flying and very good pay in a role that many people respect. He is likely to find out this week that he is being made redundant, due to...

I'd not got round to booking a Summer holiday, although I'd come close several times. We were favouring West Coast over East, so we were unlikely to be in Florida. Frankly, I think we got lucky due to my procrastination.

Nor am I, and I shouldn't have included that line in my post, as it has clearly distracted from the point that suppression of virus transmission is a battle waged on multiple fronts. To suggest that one aspect of that battle should be the priority, suggesting multiple strands can not be worked...

Sir David King, former Chief Scientific Advisor, was on 5Live this morning and whilst he was absolutely damning on the government not bringing quarantine of arrivals to the country into place back in February/March, he also said it was absolutely the right thing to be doing now. He stated he is...

You and Grant Schapps make one helluva team on this. Fiona Nicholls, climate campaigner at Greenpeace, said: “Carbon offsetting will not clean up aviation’s carbon emissions, just create the illusion it does. EasyJet is peddling snake oil and it’s shocking that the secretary of state seems so...

Maybe save the w ank for when you get off the plane?

It doesn't matter - there's a big glass/plastic screen shielding them from each other.

Well, there's clearly an issue with ensuring social distancing takes place on flights, but this has absolutely nothing to do with flying potentially ill people into the country.
