Where does that leave transit pax? Say someone from Sweden (no self isolation requirement ATM) flies to STN and has onward flight to Canaries same day from LTN? Or has to overnight in STN?
Coming back from Canaries to Sweden via London seems to be OK, as they are returning home, but arriving from Sweden and flying onward to holiday destination they would be breaking the law?

England National Lockdown - from 5 November

The Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (England) (No. 4) Regulations 2020
https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/.../contents/made

New National Restrictions from 5 November (Guidance)
https://www.gov.uk/guidance/new-nati...rom-5-november

- in force from 5 November
- due to expire 28 days after coming in to force
- applies to England only (see other posts for current restrictions in other parts of UK)
- replaces the arrangements for local tier system detailed in post 37

Restrictions on leaving home
- no person may leave or be outside of the place where they are living without reasonable excuse
- non-exhaustive list of things considered a reasonable excuse include going to buy goods/services from any business which is allowed to remain open (some listed below)
- take exercise or to visit a public outdoor place for the purposes of open air recreation
- to attend an event commemorating Remembrance Sunday
- visit a linked household
- reasonably necessary for P to leave or be outside home for the purposes of work where it is not reasonably possible to work, or to provide from home
- medical needs
- where returning home when you were on holiday immediately before 5 November

There is no restriction on moving between areas or travel/flying per se, but the purpose of the trip needs to be on the basis of a reasonable excuse - so leaving home to go to the airport for flying off on holiday won't be in scope.

Restrictions on gatherings
- no gatherings of two or more people indoors or in a public outdoor space other than for those in the same and/or linked households or the purposes allowed such as work, education etc.
- linked households remain (aka support bubble) for households of one adult

Closure and restrictions on businesses
- closure of non-essential businesses
- those selling food and drink may remain open for takeaway

Enforcement
- can be told to return home, issued with a fixed penalty notice, or prosecuted

Thanks for that. So essentially flying to meet a household bubble is legitimate regardless of where they are, so if anyone has a bubble abroad no issue.

A little light relief in the shape of The Daily Mash’s take on it:

not quite. it still needs to be "reasonably necessary" and it needs to be the only household you have linked with since 14 September - so you can't swap linked households now if you have already been in one.

bear in mind i assume households were consciously not restricted to countries since there may be those living near Scotland or Wales whose linked household is just over the border. whether it is reasonable to have a linked household abroad is something which is less certain. i certainly would not describe it as legitimate regardless or no issue.

Welsh regulations certainly frown on travelling long distances for your extended household: "In particular we ask that people think very carefully about possible alternatives before forming extended households which would require extensive travel or travel into areas outside Wales with very high incidence of coronavirus." (https://gov.wales/guidance-extended-...ds-coronavirus) Added to which one of the households must contain only one adult.
