I'm not sure how many Brits have travelled to Spain in the last few weeks. But for anyone on furlough £15 fares with no need for even a test is too good to resist, especially with the weather being shit.

July 2 is too late, they've been letting people in untested, unvax'd for weeks - cases now increasing more than us (80% last 7 days) I know they were desperate, but their season looks seriously in peril now as people in power made stupid decisions.

Spain's tourist season is falling apart before its got started this summer. Reckless decisions on letting tourists enter untested and unvaccinated....

Looks like Portugal going same as France, UK travellers unvaccinated need to self isolate; vaccinated plus 2 weeks free to go... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-57634932 Think gradually this is going to become the normal especially as being unvaccinated in the western world becomes a choice

I heard Simon Calder speaking the other day and said One Way London - Malta was £8 this week, next week its £151

I feel them, many business on the brink. But Brits have few choices in Europe so why not impose negative test or even limit to vax'd travellers with kids exempt? A safety first approach increases their chance is a longer season, with the current policy they'll be amber again before the...

So Balearics are open to UK tourists, all you have to do a sign mandatory pre-travel declaration form, but no requirement for a negative Covid test let alone, let alone a double vaccination, right?

To bring in the hotel quarantine at this stage would be silly and as you say destructive to the travel business, the horse as already bolted Just up the required test to the gold standard PCR (the current anti-gen accepted isn't accurate enough). If they want to go a step further impose the...

Flights for 2021 look anything but cheap next summer, airlines are looking to make a killing next year after business was decimated Interestingly Gatwick will start to offer PCR and Ant-gen tests from Monday, take travel to Spain. Its now compulsory. In the few months it could be no VAX no air...

Word of the street is there's been a surge in holiday enquiries for 2021 in the past 2 days. Don't expect too many bargains, the airlines have big losses to make up. Interesting airline shares have rocketed since Monday

Reckon IAG will come through this, long haul travellers more inclined to pay for testing prior to travel. If you're flying Easyjet to Alicante for £60 return will you pay circa £120 for a test?

Seem to be a fair few planes flying around Europe now. Interesting how many incidents there have been with cabin crew catching covid, if there are cases doesn't seem to make it into the press.

With AU borders basically locked till early 2021, Qantas will be largely surplus to requirements for a while except for domestic and NZ...

BP share price soaring too...

Guess there will be at least some winners in local tourism, fingers crossed the weather holds. August is usually sh1t

You only have to look up in the sky today, absolutely azure blue Flying is a privilege not a right, growth has completely out of hand, the industry doesn't pay for its damage to the planet and the crazy cheap fares have led to unsustainable lifestyles.

You just get the feel that Europe is rolling the dice this summer with a lot of flights. Brits may well be drinking gold fish bowls in Magaluf this summer after all

The US may have its external borders largely closed, but internal aviation levels seem to have picked up, can't be good for spreading the virus around...

I love travelling places but I’d be the first to admit it has basically become just too cheap and left to grow unrestricted, maybe the planet is saying to us humans here’s a second chance. Don’t waste it….
