    Not with our insurance- insureandgo. Government directive was an exclusion!! We had annual multitrip with them for years!! Would have got nothing back on the 2 holidays we'd booked if were dependent on them!!! I know vhi travel insurance paid out for others.

    That saves me having to ring them :(

    Mid August so still hope (Gran Canaria)

    So we be only Country in Europe that have quarantine, unlikely.
    A couple of weeks ago they were telling us no flights this summer.
    I think big review mid June, what happens between now and then will decide.

    I'd be more 'concerned' with the policy that you have to call a flight attended if you want to go to the toilet, I just don't see how that's going to work.

    For me, it's the chaos in the the airport terminal --- social distance queuing at check in, social distance queuing for security, trying to get a bite to eat at a restaurant, queuing for the gate and being forced into standing in a tight stairwell in T1 before you walk onto the tarmac.

    No way in hell any of that works in an orderly fashion. Terminals are some of the most chaotic places in the world when it comes to invasion of personal space.

    More than likely will be lifted, but no point in booking flights until it is.

    If wearing masks for the duration of the flight is mandatory, will inflight food and drinks be suspended?

    Hard to imagine the scenario with passengers taking off masks and leaving them lying around while eating and drinking? Isn't onboard catering a major earner? Could result in higher fares to offset potential revenue losses. I'd love to see how this issue is addressed.

    Ryanair have suspended in-flight services for now, but nothing stopping you from bringing your own food on-board.

    We always do that anyway. Open those hang sambos and half the flight turn to look at you enviously as they didn't do it and have to eat Ryanair rubbish :)

    Too bad you're not allowed to bring your own booze. But if you can hide it though :)

    Why cant one post in the will be fly again thread?

    I notice Harris getting his way with 2 week quarantine legislation.

    Talk about after timing.

    Surely now is the time to plan for loosening not inflicting more damage on our economy.

    I hope this measure is easily retractable

    I never drink when flying as i always have to drive on arrival.
    Are you serious about bringing the miniature bottles?
    A couple years ago a couple of girls opened their bottle of wine and the plane had hardly left the ground, a big row fallowed with stewardess.
    I was chatting stewardess after and she said the one they watch for is if someone asks for tin of coke and lots of ice...

    Yep, just a couple of miniatures & just quietly selfserve, if you're sitting in the middle of the plane you'll be waiting a while for the trolley to arrive,

    If a group decide to open a bottle of wine I could see issues with staff, think I read somewhere that it's legal to bring booze onboard but not to serve yourself, I just have a couple of quiet drinks & a snooze, I don't bother anybody

    Who decides which countries have the virus under control?
    If Italy or Spain decide they have virus under control and we decide they have not i assume no flights travel to these countries.
    It's all a bit vague for my liking and i prefer Europe either open or closed.
    I expect that there be an announcement after weekend as they surely want to keep a reign on for long weekend...
