Absolutely brilliant news!
Will re-qualify for GGL based on current bookings. Can't wait to get flying again!

Officials said the AstraZeneca vaccine, which has been used widely in the UK and EU, is also likely to be accepted. But it is not yet clear whether other vaccines, such as those used in China and Russia, will be accepted by US authorities.

I've got flights from the 27th Oct that are likely going to miss the start of this
Hopefully my December ones will be fine though.

Thank ....ing christ.

I've been trapped in the US for 18 months, unable to see my family without a 14 day stay somewhere else (TLDR on an O-1 visa)

Great news!

I guess a combination of a) reduced capacity b) more people accepting the rather aggressively marketed upgrades and c) more flying in general (in example my flights to MUC were 75% full on Friday and sold out back to LHR on Sunday including a CE cabin until row 13). Plus T5 looked much more like PreCovid. So thats my fundamental analysis of IAG

Re/ the queue, about 30 people were waiting for entry to GC South Friday at about 820am. And as expressed in another post, no Champagne available after 645am

All vaccines approved by the WHO are acceptable according to the CDC....

Sounds like a good time to fire up the A380s and get them back on LAX, MIA and SFO.

I'd settle for seeing cancelled cities like SAN back on the roster with some level of confidence that it wouldn't be cancelled 3 weeks prior to departure.

Here's hoping BA bring las direct back. The town could do with the extra income European tourism in general) generates.

SAN is back on the roster (was announced Saturday and starting in October) and wide open for reward bookings 😉

Is there a specific date in November for this?

Have looked and can't find one. Have a flight to SFO on 9th November and we'd given up hope so much, we'd booked something else!
