Welcome to San Stefanos (NW Corfu) > San Stefanos news and views

So how many of us are actually going (hopefully)

<< < (83/124) > >>

maggiesaes:
Some people are having emails from Tui changing bookings for the end of May and June.
So far we have not heard anything to suggest our June holiday is not going ahead.September is booked but too and hopefully not in doubt.

Jimbo:
I suspect with fewer bookings in the early part of the summer the operators will want to reduce the number of flights. They need about 75% capacity or they are losing money.

Karen:
Greece on Amber list, to be reviewed in 3weeks...

Jimbo:
Yes. That's probably not what the Greek tourist industry wanted to hear.

Greece is at last report on 116:100,000 case. Portugal, which is green-lighted is on 23:100,000. So that gives us some kind of scale. At the current rate of decrease, and the rate of vaccination (16%) I may be wrong but I don't see much chance of a green light before the end of June.

Tui has negotiated cheaper testing with various companies. Here, for example, is the Chronomics list:


--- Quote ---WHAT ARE THE PACKAGES?

There are four packages available, as follows:
 
• GREEN – £20 per person. Contains 1x pre-departure antigen (rapid flow) test for your journey back from your holiday destination and 1x PCR test for day two after you return home. 
• GREEN+ – £60 per person. Contains 1x PCR test for your journey to your holiday destination, with courier costs seven days a week included, 1x pre-departure antigen (rapid flow) test and 1x PCR test for day two after you return home. 
• AMBER – £50 per person. Contains 1x pre-departure antigen (rapid flow) test and 2x PCR tests for days 2 and 8 after you return home. 
• AMBER+ – £90 per person. Contains 1x PCR test for your journey to your holiday destination, with courier costs seven days a week included, 1x pre-departure antigen (rapid flow) test for your journey back from your holiday destination and 2x PCR tests for days 2 and 8 after you return home. 
 
The pre-departure antigen (rapid flow) tests will include test verification and certification to fly back to the UK. As well as the testing packages required for your return to the UK, you can also select kits that include an additional PCR test for your journey to your holiday destination, should that be required by the destination you’re travelling to.

I think it is a little disappointing that no provisions have been made for people who have been vaccinated, but I understand the reasoning.

Karen:
I don't think much will change by early June, which is when the 3 week review is due. There will be some who can quarantine for 10 days, on return, but many can't...
