How do I ignore a user if their profile is private ?
Like it or not, that is why many people took vaccines

Always going to have conflicting stuff I think
I mentioned in a post above about fit-to-fly cert and that many companies offering it by conducting test yourself and sending them results. Then they issue cert.
How do they distinguish a lab conducted test v at home test you've done on the cert. I'm sure all they are looking for is the word negative. That's even if they check in that much detail.
Wondering what applies for travel to France from Ireland?
This article refers to Countries outside of the EU in one paragraph and Schengen Countries in another.
It doesn't matter how many times you repeat it, it still doesn't make it correct.
It's a different variant, so you can no longer infer a linear relationship of hospitalisations for Delta.
I'm probably wasting my time but, hey ho.
If Delta infects 1,000 people resulting in 25 hospital admissions and 5 of these going to ICU then it is correct to expect that 2,000 Delta infections will result in 50 hospital admissions and 10 in ICU.
However we do not yet know what percentage of Omicron cases end up in hospital. It is a DIFFERENT variant as can be seen by its increased transmissability. It is also likely to have a change in the severity of its symptoms, it may be more severe, it may be less severe, it might remain the same. But we don't know yet.
Flight from London to Dublin Monday at 6.30pm. Looking to book antigen for Saturday evening as we have something on that night and don't want to risk the chance testing positive Sunday. Place next to hotel does tests last time available on the Saturday is 5.50pm.. Would we get away with that, only 40minutes pre flight prior to the 48hour time period.
I’ve a flight to Los Angles booked with aerlingus for the end of next month for an 8 day trip. It’s becoming obvious that this holiday is in complete jeopardy now what with restrictions on both our side and the US side.
Ive a deposit on the flight atm but the airline is looking for full payment of the balance.
Does anyone have direct experience on if it’s easy to change dates and still retain your deposit on their system (I’m thinking of making it July or August at this point)
Any advise would be great
I found aer lingus fantastic and was able to change via their website.
I did it via "manage my booking". Completely transparent and when the replacement flights were no more expensive there was genuinely no charge.
(I had the opposite experience with ryanair and lastminute.com who both made it so difficult and expensive that it was cheaper to just book entirely new flights from scratch than try to uptake the "free change" option)
Do you have to book the same destination and same passengers?
I've no opinion on that
I just know governments have 2 reasons for making hassle free travel contingent on vaccines
1.Because its known to cause less spread or none
2.Because improved uptake improves covid health outcomes for everyone
You will have to pay fees to change either of those things. It’s only fee free to change date
check your fare class though. If you’ve a Plus, Smart, Advantage or Flex fare then you’ll be able to get a voucher and then can spend that how you want
We do not know, I didn't say we know
All I said was latest information is not looking good
Huge uptick in infections and hospitalisations in South Africa despite 70% plus supposed to be covered by vaccine or previous infection
Don't be shooting the messenger
I don't like it either obviously and would be hoping boosters change this

^^^ Above has list of countries that now require negative tests for flight.
Thanks for that info . I’ll have a check on the website later and see if I can re-jig the dates. Hopefully I won’t be hit on market price going up to much
If you don't need the money right now,you could pay in full and then under their book with confidence policy cancel,getting a voucher for the full amount and rebook for whenever you want?
Doing it that way you can book different people as its a new booking so it's also a way to do a name change
It works well provided the new booking is the same price as your voucher
I wouldn't hold that as gospel. The elephant in the room is that SA has a really low vaccine rate. We know omicron can reinfect which means previous infection from an earlier strain may not offer the same protection as a vaccine does.
The official report from the EU is due out in 2 weeks.
Yes and the WHO said they will have better information in a matter of days
So hopefully clarity
The free change of flight only applies to bookings made from November 20th or some date like that. Because I booked my flight on November 10th I am not entitled to it, despite the country I booked for being in actual lockdown! Really bad form of Ryanair to not extend their offer to everyone who has upcoming flights in the next month, regardless of when they booked.
Yup same here
Flight change for me costing more than booking an entirely new one,which of course would mean also forfeiting what I paid for the original
They've just lost any future custom from me
All im asking for is a pcr test in cork with 1-3 hr results like you can get in dublin airport does anyone please know if there is such a place
No change by the looks of it for travel to France from Ireland:
This is the French embassy page and it was last updated two days ago, so presume it is correct.
Travelling to Wales (by ferry) for Christmas, returning 27th. Anyone know where I can get an antigen test in north Wales... nearest we can find is Liverpool! Assuming self administered test not an option (according to govt advice).
Yes until you see a €19.99 flight to a place you want to go to and they are the only airline going there. You’ll be all over it without a second thought.
Travel in a pandemic is risky business. All airlines have flexi tickets at the time of booking , so you can pay for that premium if you need it.
Some Boots stores in the UK seem to do them, might be worth checking. https://www.boots.com/covid-19-testing
Thanks, already checked, nothing in north Wales.
Yeah but it was €88 last June when I bought it and fully changeable
I already changed it to the end of December
But now,to change its over a 100 euro
Whereas the dates I want are 49 for a first time purchase
So in a pandemic, with Omicron in sight,the money grabbing feckers want me to donate them the previous 88 and buy a new flight...
I will Not
I'll forego the flight and let my first loss be my last Mr o Leary
I've said the same many times, and believed it. Until I saw a €20 flight set against a €100 Aer Lingus one. MoL really can do what he wants as long as the pricing model works
I see Norway are adding a testing requirement - when you arrive, also it's free ...
Think Ireland could learn from them ??
Yeah right ...
How long do you think the testing for vaccinated people will be around for ?
should travel for next summer be safe?
