Many aviation companies only going to make it through the summer by punters saying bollox to it and going to the same amber countries they go to every summer

Easyjet to start charging for overhead locker space https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-55156512 Hurrah! Long overdue :clap: Too many people been allowed to take the piss for far too long

Must be going out empty shirley, to bring folks home from abroad

You don't book a holiday in any serious expection of going anywhere anymore. You go thru the motions of using up some of your big batch of Easyjet credits on booking flights, you select your booking.com accomodation as much on the strength of its cancellation policy as anything else. Then you...

My Aussie mates are going stir crazy. One that lives in NSW has had to relocate to QLD and shack up in an apartment for business/border reasons. Another, who normally spends more time in the air circumnavigating the globe for fun and surfing than she spends on the ground, finds herself denied...

For sure, on one level. But on the level most of us experience, imagine voluntarily submitting yourself to the general crapness of the whole flying thing, for SEVEN in-flight hours plus all the BS at either end, only to end up where you left from. Fair play to the SPECIAL kind of person that...

Anyone fancy a seven hour Qantas flight to... NOWHERE? https://edition.cnn.com/travel/amp/flights-to-nowhere-qantas/index.html

Strategy hmgov was maybe always following was to get daft ****s to lob money they could ill-afford into the avation industry earlydoors to prop it up for another couple of months, while at the same time pulling the rug from under the daft ****s that parted with their money. They might get a...

Simon Calder on the telly yesterday made the very good point that at many airports, although paying lip service to social distancing on the plane, they then pack you in tight as sardines on a bus between the plane and the terminal :dunce:

Not seen anything that explicitly excludes flights

Yup, they have, but doesn't address the problem tho. Hopefully will be challenged by the media or in parliament. Just seems to drive a coach and horses - and any number of passenger jets - through any quarantine restrictions

Puzzled by the announcement that passengers arriving from France won't be subject to quarantine. Doesn't that render the quarantine restrictions pretty much meaningless? Just did a quick look at Paris CDG airport on Flightradar24. They've got flights arriving from all the place eg Rome...

Reckon the days of flying from Gatwick to the Arctic Circle for fifty quid return are well and truly over. Absurd economics, which I've taken full advantage of. Twice. All I can say massive cheers to Easyjet for some amazing travel experiences. And all good wishes for the future. Tho maybe price...

Good point, well made. That makes it alright then :thumbsup:

I really don't GET this continuing complete dereliction of duty regarding flights into the UK. Utter disgrace 'Coronavirus: Aer Lingus review after packed flight complaint' https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-52539141 'Aer Lingus has said it is reviewing procedures on its Belfast...

The Aussie figures would doubtless have been even lower if they hadn't allowed passengers to disembark from that floating petri dish and just wander off into the Sydney sunset without any kind of health checks at all

It's not cargo flights tho, it's passenger flights https://www.itv.com/news/anglia/2020-05-01/wizz-air-resumes-flights-from-luton-airport-with-enhanced-health-and-safety-measures/ Be interesting to see what checks, if any, are done on passengers on arrival for both the outward and return legs...

Wizz Air flights resuming today from Luton to Spain, Portugal, Israel etc. How on earth is that allowed to happen when we're supposedly still in lockdown? What gives? ???
