[Travel] Holiday plans this summer?

[Herr Tubthumper]

We don't usually fly, but are going to southeastern Spain in late July. For those who have better familiarity of getting cheaper flights, is now the best time for me to book or is a 'sweet spot' at, say, three months prior to travelling?

My experience, especially with EasyJet, is the earlier the cheaper.

Well, we are going to Anglesey. Should be able to avoid pandemics, airport queues and European wars. No such thing as bad weather just bad clothes.

Just been to Pembrokeshire for a few days……absolutely glorious. Fantastic scenery. Did take a wide selection of coats though

The incredibly long and detailed Passenger Locator Form requirement ends at 4am this Friday.

Travelling as a family with older teens, these have been a nightmare. In the last 2 or 3 days of a holiday having to have a stack of information and data to hand, and a screen large enough to type the answers.

Hope you're aware there will be loads of FOREIGNERS there.

We go there a lot. Better when the weather allows you to spend long swathes of time on a beach. If you didn't make it to Marloes Sands, you should do next time; if you did make it to Marloes Sands, you will do next time.

Very jealous, thats where we went for our honeymoon. Absolutely beautiful resort. And no russians, which (as always) is a massive bonus

Any opportunities for surfing out there?


Catch a few big red waves.

Maybe one or two inquisitive Europeans but I imagine the Queen Vic in Corfu will mainly be full of sunburnt Brits.

We are going there in August, hopefully the last "owed" TUI holiday as booked it for three years ago

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

Just booked a ferry for our Motorhome for June - Portsmouth to Caen to be away about two and a half weeks.
Brittany Ferries not cheap, but just down the road and so much nicer than any alternative.
Haven’t booked any campsites yet, but probably sticking to West Coast of France. First time we’ve taken this van - 3 years old - over. Can’t wait.

Great news all the requirements go on Friday- no more forms, no more tests.. to get back into the UK anyway.

Just need other countries to follow suit now. I feel like other places (e.g. France and Italy) are much more enthusiastic about punishing unjabbed folk- so it may be a while longer before they accept the inevitable and ditch all entry requirements.
