Scotland seems to do a decent job, Wales ! Nope awful , if you could see the damage a Labour driven gov has done to my town you would be horrified ! The Welsh 1st minister is a weak and spineless man, that ignores what the general populace want ! And his actions during the crisis have been ridiculous !
Giving no notice at all was poor judgement and unenforceable, even the police said on the news they were not in a position to check or enforce the quarantine !
Ireland has different issues and always needs kid gloves ]]> Sat, 05 Sep 2020 12:46:02 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/uk-air-bridge_topic11671_post112703.html#112703 <![CDATA[UK "Air Bridge" : If he doesn't like it Boris...]]> https://albufeira.com/forum/uk-air-bridge_topic11671_post112702.html#112702 Author: Jock

If he doesn't like it Boris Bunter can dissolve the devolved administrations in Wales and Scotland. All he has to do is use his parliamentary majority and vote them out of existence.

Ireland is a different matter and would have to be agreed with the Eire government. There could be a return to direct rule. What the activists on either side in Ulster would do I dread to think. Best not stir up a relatively peaceful hornets nest.

What a complete fiasco with quarantine, I’m from wales and think it’s outrageous that the Welsh gov gave only 12 hours notice for quarantine !!! .
And even more over a total fiasco , if I live in Bristol and came back this week from Portugal from a holiday and I work daily in Wales that’s fine, but if we came back and work in Bristol that’s no good as I would have to quarantine !! How absolutely stupid ! Devolved gov now are all political point scoring and trying to do the opposite , hate it 😡]]> Fri, 04 Sep 2020 15:36:03 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/uk-air-bridge_topic11671_post112698.html#112698 <![CDATA[UK "Air Bridge" : A test is only good for the day...]]> https://albufeira.com/forum/uk-air-bridge_topic11671_post112649.html#112649 Author: Jock

A test is only good for the day on which it was taken.

I think they need to look at regional airports and introduce testing, they can’t keep the business industry’s going without travel ! And are going to collapse the tourism industry at this rate , no more flip flop blanket decisions !

UK to perhaps ban all travel abroad? Seems a logical step to me. If people can't travel they can't bring it back with them. And it would save all the quarantine bureaucracy.

The England football team had better make a rapid move to Iceland and Denmark for next weekend's games.

Don't rule out Ryanair Col.

Not for Easyjet.
Newcastle still has Jet2 flying to Faro but they are pricy. Our September flights were less than a third of Jet2 rates by comparison.

Then there's Ryanair. Never flown with them and I wouldn't rule them out but their flights are less frequent.

Yes, they've gone one further for us. Stopped all international flights from Newcastle so our September holiday joins the cancelled ones for March and June 😪

This also means our family booking for June next year for 7 people is down the pan and all this has cost us financially too.

We've been flying to various destinations with Easyjet since 2003 and whilst I understand the serious challenges within the travel industry, Easyjet's Newcastle base was profitable and the next nearest is Manchester or Liverpool. ]]> Fri, 21 Aug 2020 11:11:33 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/uk-air-bridge_topic11671_post112612.html#112612 <![CDATA[UK "Air Bridge" : Excellent news ... and on the...]]> https://albufeira.com/forum/uk-air-bridge_topic11671_post112611.html#112611 Author: pyrman

Yes and you still have to fill in forms for the Portuguese government in case you bring it with you or have been sat next to someone on the plane who does.

Anyway, fingers crossed the situation is not reversed once a few thousands make their way to the Algarve.
