Good move. It’ll take a few years before this rollercoaster, settles into a mature approach.

You're back in the industry! :smile: I thought you got employment elsewhere not long after Lockdown 1?

It was fluid pricing on steroids last night, I’d say potentially unfair trading. At the final Easyjet hurdle of paying by card, just minutes after choosing flights, Easyjet online gave a take it or leave it … additional £32 “due to price changes” during the process. I’ve never seen anything...

I used Easyjet last night. Single legs of some Balearic flights this summer, especially around weekends, suddenly mushroomed to the multi £100's per person.

R4, always excellent, covered this yesterday. Their Europe correspondents described Merkel as the ultimate conservative and Conservative, so she's ultra cautious on everything. My personal view is that we need to strike a balance somewhere between the rabid "let's open up everything, it's as...

Chasing £b’s and €b’s in tourist buck.

I picture someone at Easyjet in charge of their website, ready within a micro second, to press the multiple flight costs by 800% button (to new green list destinations).

UK households have saved £180b during the pandemic, from having little to spend on. BoE figures. There’s low unemployment due to furlough and WFH meant jobs carried on. Many people are holding onto their cash, until they can holiday overseas again.

No news. Purely based on the requirements of your destination country. It’s normally mandatory and checked before you depart by the airline.

Definitely on our list for the future, we'll make it a road trip with The Hoover Dam and some national parks. But you can multiple the cost of everything by $a lot for the 4 of us, so it won't be in 2021. Skiing's huge for us too, so there's only so much we can afford. Did you come across...

This morning I went to book using Virgin Atlantic's Black Friday webpage (after a couple of days procrastinating), but their £450 flights to JFK had disappeared with the message "The sale has now ended". Identical flights are now £1,900 :( But then some luck, Skyscanner still have them with...

Thanks. We got lucky in July this year for our aborted US trip - our hotel reservation was through booking.com with no payment due at all if I cancelled by us up to just a few days before arrival, and Norwegian repaid flights cancelled by them promptly with no chasing necessary.

By next summer, with vaccines and testing well established, are you expecting the UK to be a safe country as far as the US is concerned? Genuinely interested. This thread is motivating me to start looking at returning to the States soon.

Will Biden let us in by then? We're very keen to get to NYC and elsewhere.

They were in deep trouble pre Covid, occupying financial pages in 2019 with words such as “embattled”. Up to their eyeballs in debt, badly run, in the end the Norwegian government lost patience with this private airline. Obviously CV19 put the final knife in. We finally managed to get a large...

Norwegian today announced that they’re ending their short haul routes from Gatwick, making redundant 259 cabin crew within its 1,142 Gatwick staff. To concentrate on long haul. The routes affected it seems are Gatwick with Bergen, Oslo, Copenhagen and Stockholm.

A near identical incident happened on our EasyJet flight into Gatwick from Verona last month. On the PA the crew clearly said rows 1 to 5 to disembark first, everyone else to wait. A c.50 year old bloke a few rows further back grabbed his cabin suitcase and charged past almost everyone to try...

Very unscientific it appeared .... if it looked surgical, you’re on.

I overheard conflicting advice from the ground crew. One said it was EasyJet policy, another that it was a destination requirement. For the first time, we’re in Sud Tirol (the German speaking region of Italy). It’s paradise. If I knew how to reduce the mb size of a pic, I’d put a couple on...

Yes. We were okay. I don’t know why, but my guess would be not up to surgical/virological standards. Anyone can make a cloth face mask.
