Fly me to the Moon - your 3rd travel Megathread - read OP

Does anyone know of travel insurance that covers the cost of mandatory quarantine accommodation within the EU?

Sure Faceman, you should just ask the HSE to "change the goalposts" from 90% to 5%. Sure then there would be no more virus. Problem immediately solved?

It is 7 days according to the HSE website. Each country can decide for themselves though, some seem to be immediately after second dose, some 7-days, others 14. My worry is the airline who need to do the checks too, not sure if they will all know the rules for each destination

1345 cases

105 in hospital

21 ICU

Wrong thread! 😅

I'm flying to England tomorrow.

I have my Vaccination card and DCC so I thought I was sound for travelling.

However upon checking in for my flight o have just spotted this on the Ryanair app;

"Everyone entering England from overseas (including UK nationals and residents) must provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test taken within 3 days of departure to England."

It's too late for me to get a test and results back now.

Am I screwed?

Has anyone used gosafe48? I booked an antigen but they seem a lot cheaper and I can’t find much online about them. Are they legit??

Yes they will Face, but not hotel quarantine costs, but if you end up in Hospital they will cover you unless you travelled to a country that DFA advises against travelling to.

Yes they’re legit, I’m booked in with them I know others have used them and no problems.

Nope, scroll further down the page you linked it says :

Exemptions – people who do not need to take a test

Travel from some countries

You do not need to take a test if you began your journey to England from:

• Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales, the Isle of Man, Jersey or Guernsey
• Falkland Islands, St Helena or Ascension

I was bang on 14 days on the DCC and had a PCR just in case. Origin airport and Frankfurt in Lufthansa were more interested in the PCR test than they DCC. As I had the PCR I was not fighting on the DCC but it was not accepted at first and I quickly for sanity purposes produced the negative PCR. Perhaps they are or the view that Ireland is outside the DCC regime.

Did they change the rules about kids and pcr to come back into ireland? All I can find on websites is children 12-17 need tests but I thought I read before that it was over 6s?

My paranoia is that the govt website says 12-17 must get a test but it doesn't say under 12s don't need a test.

12-17 require a test, under 12's don't, the rules changed the 19th of July for returning to Ireland

I found this page helpful when stressing over travel so thought Id give a quick update on my own travels to Lanzorote for anyone interested

We arrived back to Dublin from Lanzorote yesterday. Most of my group were from Northern Ireland.

We are all fully vaccinated apart from a 6 and 9 yr old.

We showed our vaccine cards (small cards you got with date of both vaccines) on way out and on return to Dublin. In Lanzo ariport they will also look for your vaccine card (or cert, depending what you have )

Be sure to fill out your locator forms online both ways.

You do not need any tests if fully vaxed(as of yesterday anyway )

I came across one woman whos husband was stopped from boarding a flight from Lanz to Dublin because he only had one vaccine ! Surprised he managed to get out of Ireland. Anyway, he had to stay behind and complete a PCR.

We had no hassle.

Very enjoyable holiday 😊😊

I agree, it definitely could be more clear , but it just states fully vaccinated and doesn't go into the specifics until you click into a link that brings you to hse website which has the information required.
