Not so bad, just bumping the pre-flight test up to the day before travel.
Maybe my February half-term trip isn't doomed after all (although I suspect it probably will be by then).

Father in law, hard working business owner just retired before the pandemic, several failed marriages, turns to god, voted for Trump, believes the vote was rigged, told that covid is a hoax, refused the vaccine….
Ignored texts and voicemail messages from our daughter to get the vaccine, she told him she got the vaccine to protect him (she’s 12) ready for Christmas when we come over (re booked our tickets, trip back on)
Message today he thinks he’s got covid and will go to the doctors today !!!
The wife & daughter were meant to fly out on Saturday….
I give up….

Last time I went to the states I had to do an antigen test via zoom (or by trained professional). Is this still the case ?
Seems now you just need to do a test 24 hours before flight and can be self administered?

Yeah. Still has to be watched
Just booked one
Looks like all return tests are being ditched.

I’ve booked with this one, lots at work have used it without issue
Hold fire on the return test - looks like there is an announcement this week
Just back from Vegas/Orlando and the testing is so easy to get in, I am not even sure they paid much attention when they did it.
LHR checked everything twice
Masks wearing onboard depends on what cabin you are in on if they care or not.
The PLF was pretty simple as well took about 5 minutes - the airline turned away lots of people to re-do it because it was incorrectly done.

That's useful to know, thanks. I'm due in LA for a business conference next month, my first flight since a family holiday to Mexico in 2019.
I was due to be in business but now they've gone and added more attendees to the list, and so travel arrangements have been downgraded so it will be premium economy at best. I don't much fancy wearing a mask for a 12 hour flight so I'm hoping its lenient, but naturally will toe the line if it's enforced.
I used project screen and it was so easy, they just sent a Zoom link which you followed at the time and the doctor runs through it all - I just don’t see how they can see what you are doing it properly - had to put phone down on desk a few times to free up hands to do the test.
After the upload I had the form within an hour via email.
No one checked anything USA side on arrival so getting through was pretty quick, wasn’t a queue.
I would 100 percent take a paper copy as back up of vaccination / Test result - just easier at UK airport and just in case.
I did BC and I didn’t see anyone mention the masks once, friend in ECC said people were walking around checking and asking people to.
Obviously this is based on 2 international flights and it depends on the crew etc
I’m just back from a few days in Miami Beach. Most wore masks both ways and we had to show our LTF results on the way out and PLF at Miami Airport on the way home. There was barely any evidence of a pandemic in Miami however!
Yeah was great thanks
I found Vegas prices had gone up a bit - seem to add on extra charges in a few places
Orlando was Orlando, few of the hotels survived by renting out long term rents to ladies of service, so if you are planning to visit worth double checking you are not rocking up to one of those.
Masks for the public were nowhere to be seen in Vegas, Orlando slightly more but they are stopping them in parks shortly - airports the only place I saw any checking and asking for people to put them on.
Disney have 100 percent used this all to whack up prices and decrease services, but they know people will pay it.
They apparently do random checks on the PLF at LHR - didn’t see anyone check
Was Miami completely back to normal?
Pretty much. Had to wear a mask in taxis and in common areas of the hotel but nowhere else.
What hotels …. for research purposes?
Haha.
Some of the more budget ones Enclave suits was one, maybe put down a room request…..
Need to look at flights now you’ve mentioned it.
The New Magic kingdom
Always a happy ending.
