Mind your own business and worry about yourself. Lie under the sofa until the end of January if that’s the way you carry on.
come on here and offer structured opinions and engage in others views, not guilt tripping or telling people what to do.
whos to say you’re right? The people at the very top with all the qualifications don’t have a clue from one day to the next with this pandemic.
wind that neck in
I wouldn't call a PCR more reliable - granted if you test negative with a PCR it's virtually guaranteed you are clear.
The problem with PCR is it can give more false positives as it detects the virus even if it's dead in your nose and you have recovered ..
I would still put more weight behind it than me doing an antigen in my kitchen.
I'm all for safe travel and don't want to be infected.
But he is certainly right, the PCR is far more reliable than Antigen. So if the PCR is negative, why not travel!!?
Jesus that's an aggressive response. I think most of these restrictions are a pile of shite. But people on his flight will be relying on a negative test to get back home and someone getting a positive antigen getting on their flight puts all their return journeys in jeopardy.
I'm not remotely scared of covid (look at all my other posts, all I do is give out about this nonsense)
But getting on a flight with a positive antigen result (even if you somehow managed to get a negative pcr) is a dick move. Plain and simple.
Regarding Austria, for people from most countries its simply 2G+ so you need to be fully jabbed PLUS additionally a test OR a booster - but not both.
If coming from the UK which is a variant risk area (note, thats where the Guardian newspaper is published, which is something to think about when quoting newspapers !!!) you need a booster AND a test , but Ireland is not the UK nor is it a variant risk area so those stricter rules dont apply to Ireland.

To me it's like getting a positive and negative pregnancy test on the same day. You're definitely pregnant, the other test just didn't pick it up.
That is my understanding too.
I might be blocked by this cabbage, but I will have to do an additional PCR test before I fly anyway. So i won't be putting anyone in jeopardy.
. . .
I wouldn't worry about it, anyone who refers to strangers as a "dick" or an "idiot", clearly is carrying a chip on their shoulder. If they allow you on the flight with a negative PCR test, I don't think some grumpy, name calling, child's opinion should really matter to you. Some people b*tch on the internet, others work their problems out in the gym, to each their own.
POSITIVE tests, whether PCR or antigen are highly specific - about a 1/1000 chance (probably a lot less) of getting a false positive test.
NEGATIVE tests, both PCR and antigen are not as reliable. (For PCR, expect false negative rate of somewhere in the region of 5-15%).
If you have a positive test, even followed by a negative test, you are VERY LIKELY to have Covid.
Self tests are less reliable - but for missing an infection. So not for positive tests.
If you have a positive test, antigen or PCR, stay at home.
Verifly completely unusable.
refusing valid documents, so i need to manually check in , just as well it's Aer Lingus, do Ryanair require you to use Verifly ?
That would be a disaster
No only EI, BA and AA use Verifly.
Just as well , cos if Ryanair start using it they will start making a killing on the eur40 check in fee or whatever it is now ...
Scan the documents to .pdf…. It worked for me after submitting the photo three times in .jpg
Has anyone used a covid recovery cert for travel?
And does anyone know how soon after recovery you can travel? I have to get back to Canada and it requires a negative test, but I’m worried a PCR might still say positive.
Happy Christmas to my fellow travel lovers. Hope you all got where you wanted to.
Im currently down the local in Spain having the few pints, yay!
Enjoy.
Currently south of Cancun in Mexico enjoying sun sea and cerveza.
So did I
Was supposed to go to a gig in London tomorrow. Ended up having to cancel it, got the hotel back but of course Aer Linguses "no change fees" is just a sham and moving flights.. well the flights themselves cost a lot more than buying them outright. Still cheaper to move them, but not as much as I'd hoped.
And all this, not because of Omicron, but because of the ridiculous requirement to have a negative PCR or LFT coming into Ireland - when case numbers are pretty much identical in both countries.
What are you worried about though, the virus or an antigen test? PCR says he's clear, and everyone and their mother recognises that PCR trumps antigen.
So he's not carrying the virus or shedding anything. What's the issue?
Exactly.
Once my PCR is clear or I get my recovery cert (whatever comes first), I am flying.
Has anyone here travelled to Poland since December 15th?
Did you need to test before you went (if fully vaccinated)?
It's a shame that so many people don't really understand the tests and what it all means.
Anyone who does understand, knows that a +ve antigen trumps a -ve PCR.
Is there any indication of them scrapping the pre arrival testing?
The reasoning for it are now in the past
We have one if not the highest covid rate in Europe and likely most Omicron per capita
All it is doing Is annoying people and providing no benefit to the health situation
Probably will be dropped in June
I fly back to Dublin from Lisbon on January 1st but there are no covid tests available until at least January 3rd. The airport website says that they have testing facilities there. They say it’s advisable to book but the booking app doesn’t include the airport as an option. Has anyone got a test in Lisbon airport recently without a booking? Thanks so much
