Travel destinations for the un-vaccinated
Discussion
Wonder how many fully vaccinated are going to fall foul of the rules this Easter, despite following the 'rules' and being jabbed up ready for travel, only to fail the needed Covid test before departure and not being able to go on holiday.
Had a friend and his family who were in the 'only getting jabbed so we can travel' camp originally, due to fly to Sri Lanka yesterday until 3 out of 4 of them tested positive, so now can't go. Got a few other nervous friends due to travel to US and Caribbean later this week wondering if the lateral flows will allow them to go!

If your forced to test for your holidays then for god's sake....test the dog/cat or whatever...just make sure it's bloody negative.Had a friend and his family who were in the 'only getting jabbed so we can travel' camp originally, due to fly to Sri Lanka yesterday until 3 out of 4 of them tested positive, so now can't go.

Your mate must be gutted.
I'm meant to be flying with the family on Friday, but looks like we will have to cancel.
My youngest turned 12 this week, so was unable to be fully vaccinated due to age.
She had Covid 6 weeks ago verified by a logged LFT, but not a PCR.
Fast forward to this week, and she has had to take a third party PCR test to comply with the Spanish rules of having a negative PCR test within 72 hours of landing, due to not being vaccinated.
Sods law but the PCR is still detecting Covid in her system.
Frustrating is an understatement.

100% this.Your mate must be gutted.
I hope we all got our LFT test kits while they were free so you (or a friend) can make sure you test negative?
I know I did.

Looks like Spain might be opening up soon, if reports are to be believed.
Fingers crossed.
Reviewing on the 15th May i've heardFingers crossed.
Like you say, here's hoping for a bit of common sense kicking in
Spain appears to be the only major European summer holiday country that is sticking to this one.
The list of countries per TUI where you need to be vaccinated is now quite short

Could “one” drive through France ( vaccine now not required) to Portugal (vaccine now not required) via Spain (vaccine still required) - would any Spanish official be any the wiser?
This is the thing that I am unclear on. Some information appears to mention the country you have entered Spain from and others make reference to your nationality, I.e. UK passport May be an issue? Crossing a land border in a UK car May cause the Spanish to check paper work - who knows.
Anyway we are off to Croatia next week after changing the booking from Italy earlier in the year when Italy were still having a vaccine rule whilst Croatia didn’t.
Even better now since Croatia has no requirement for tests or paperwork - same as Hungary. Travel to Budapest was normal apart from the airport experience in the UK and having ones passport stamped on arrival and Departure in Hungary.
