The football final being held in Porto with more English fans than any other nation was always going to end in disaster. It should have been held in Wembley but hopefully Abramovich enjoyed his night out! Portugal was always doomed, I tell ya, doomed (any dads army fans?!) after that night.
If you do make it abroad this year, count yourself lucky. Roll on 2022.

While checking the latest on entry to Denmark I noticed that for double vaccinated entrant from 'orange' countries with Schengen no tests or quarantine were required, however for those double vaccinated from none EU/Schengen orange the test/quarantine rules still applied....surely if you're double vacc'd and can prove it, it makes no odds which 'Orange' country you are travelling from.

Thats good to hear. I hear you and hope the influx of brits hasn’t caused any uptick in numbers certainly not for sake of a football game. I do think it’s was daft regardless and without a doubt political but that’s by the by.

They can and they have. The level of travel restrictions into Schengen and within Schengen during the pandemic was a patchwork of different approaches.

Folks, we are way off topic. There may be people visiting this thread who are seeking help on what BA’s response is, and it’s really unhelpful to have it dominated by off-topic material more suited to OMNI.
Focus, please.

I am about to cancel a J ticket on the sold out 4.25pm BA CityFlyer flight to LCY on Sunday, happy to try to co-ordinate timing if any FTer is in need.
