Alicante airport restrictions

If you are coming from the UK what is needed is all detailed in the link below from Gov.UK.

Basically if you are fully vaccinated including the booster jab arriving rom the UK then you need to have a covid vaccine certificate only. No need to fill out the Spanish Health form anymore either. 

We arrived middle of September at Alicante, very easy to get through the airport. 

  Masks are required on public transport, chemists, medical centres/hospitals not required anywhere else. They are supposed to be worn on the flight to Spain also, depends on the airline as to how strict that is policed. They are also recommended at the airport but hardly anyone wore a mask. 

Good idea to have a mask handy though I have not worn one in the 3 weeks we have been here.

Hi

We came to Alicante in July, I did show them my covid pass letters but they just glanced at them and moved me on, we are coming out end of October so I'm requesting my letters again as we have just had another booster, and my letters run out in November, the letter from NHS last for six months.  . 

Where do you get the letter from ?

Hi

I don't use apps so I request them from the NHS , Goverment web site, just put covid letters in and it should give you the information on how to apply, there is a telephone number and they are helpful 0800 162 4119, that's who I have rang both times, we had our 4th covid last week,you have to wait five working days to apply, so I'm ringing them Monday or Tuesday for them to send them out. 

Thank you

Hi

That's fine, enjoy your holiday 

Recent experience ,October 3rd,only document required at the airport ,a valid Passport.Bring all the other stuff ,Covid this and that," just in case" but at no point was anything other than a passport required.Do bring a mask as on public transport ,Alsa,it is required for travelling in,all the other coach shuttles no one bothered.Masks are now ,in Benidorm ,a rarity ,for some obscure reason you have to wear one in a Chemists and a medical centre but in a Dentist's you do not.Life is returning to normal everywhere but as in UK the Health services will be the last to admit the " pandemic" is gone and life goes on .

If your fully vaccinated and have proof, no problem.  If not fully vaccinated you can do a lateral flow test at home 72 hours before flying.  Then up load the negative result to www.0covidclear.com for £9.99  They will then email you a certificate within 24 hours.  Very easy process.  Have a nice trip.

You can get randomly stopped and asked for your covid status documents. As per my earlier post both myself and my wife had our covid vaccination certificates checked. 

 I wonder what would happen if someone had no covid certificate or test results or proof of recovery when they turned up at the airport? I have never seen anyone post to say they had been stopped and they had no covid docs.
