Getting someone to break into your house sounds a drastic and potentially expensive step. If you have someone you trust to break-in why not courier them a set of keys and have them courier the docs and the keys back to you?

  Must be cheaper option and will not take that much longer.

Yes.  Sounds very drastic!!! 

I know you don’t know me.   But I am quite happy to go to yours and find your documents and send them to you.  I’m in campoverde. So not a million miles away.  You can send me a message privately if you would like to.

Oh I’m sorry about that.   There is another number.  It starts with 0330.  But possibly they will only be able to help with the same thing.  Even when talking to an actual person at Ryanair they are only able to answer questions that are on their system. So almost the same a...

good luck with it all.  But surely.  If you have everything they’ll let you home?    So frustrating.  

Yes, bloody frustrating! Couple of people with friends flying to Spain said they couldn’t fly without the original! Someone at Boarder Force? could say very quickly what I need to know but it’s virtually impossible getting someone with a heartbeat at the other end of the phone and that is VERY annoying!

Maybe a local locksmith could get access if you have a friend that could be there? 

Do you have a spare set of keys inside the house and could you tell them where the document is?

Don’t think a locksmith could get in as they are “armoured” doors - 3 large bolt like pins?  

It might come to asking a neighbour if we sent them a key, hate having to ask someone to do things for us, although I would do it for someone within a heartbeat!

There are so many people apparently in our street with their own similar problems!


many thanks


Many thanks

Thank you very much.  From the many comments I’ve received, I know you are correct. May I ask how or where you obtained your information? the only reason I ask is that I personally, even after information received that the answer I was looking for, I couldn’t locate on The Government’s many articles online find, and also Ryanair was unable to tell me.

It’s on the uk government web site and have  people we know that came back from the uk in January after spending Christmas with family the PCR is a requirement to fly and Spain are insisting that it’s in place they will check it and the uk will check it before you board and and when you arrive in Spain
