Hi Samwu

       there was a post from Kimmy11 a few days ago - New regulations for entry to Spain from 1st December 2021.

There were links in the post to the source of the info.

I suspect Easyjet are trying to delaying paying you a refund.

Aitch.

I will try to find it. Our accommodation has been refunded no problems. Think your right about EasyJet so I’m hoping to find something in writing I can forward to them. 

Thanks

Definitely not BUT I have heard 2 different couples bragging about doing just that.

One of them multiple times!!

Given my luck I couldn't contemplate risking it.

 I'd be sure to be discovered but my strict upbringing wouldn't let me cos I'd feel so guilty and irresponsible. 

It is annoying when as in our case I'd already bought the lateral flow tests and have had to pay for PCRs but easier to go with the flow than duck and weave.

In this morning’s observer….note it says lateral flow OR PCR test 

On Saturday Downing Street announced that it was introducing pre-departure tests for people travelling to the UK. From 4am on Tuesday, travellers will have to complete a lateral flow or PCR test 48 hours before entering the country. Nigeria has been added to the red list, and from 4am on Monday arrivals will have to quarantine in hotels. Officials said the moves came as evidence emerged that the Omicron strain had been reported in more than 40 countries, with apparent community transmission in places such as Norway. They also said there was evidence that the incubation period was shorter than for other variants.

Thank you so much for your reply but funnily enough we are going there this afternoon. A lot of worry at first.
