Thanks for sharing. That was a bit selfish of them really and showing no consideration for others. Perhaps they should implement fines?

Very selfish behaviour. Everybody is anxious flying and we are trying to minimise the risks and yet some people don't seem to care. The air hostesses did tell them once or twice.  On my flight out I asked the air hostess to tell 3 guys sitting together to put on their masks, they put them on briefly but then took them off.  You don't know what type of character you are dealing with.  They should be told that the police will be waiting when we get to our destination. That might sort them out.

Well said!

Hi, we have just returned, all straight forward. We flew out with Ryanair from Bournmouth to Allicante then from Allicante to Bournemouth.

We filled out Spain travel health form 48 hours before our outbound flight. You will get details off this from who ever you are flying with or google Spain travel health form. It will ask for date you are flying out, when you return, where you will be staying and if you have any covid symptoms. You will be sent a QR code you may print this off or just save to your mobile and scan it at the airport when you go through the temperature scanner. At Bournemouth airport you are required to wear a face covering unless you are eating or drinking. The restaurant is open. If you leave your table to go to the toilet you will need to put on your face covering. You are required to wear this during the duration of your flight. When you are out and about in Spain you are required to wear a face covering at all times  except when eating or drinking, taking part in physical activity. Overall we had a great time everybody was very respectful and wore face coverings, except for on the beach where everybody was at a safe distance.

Before you go do not forget to fill in the UK form go to Visa-immigration.service.gov.uk again print it off or download to your mobile. A lot of people had not done this and had to wait in a long queue.

Just go with it, be respectful of other peoples feelings and you will have a great time 😁

We flew into Alicante yesterday from Stansted with Jet2. Pretty straightforward at Stansted, they asked at check-in if we had filled out the health forms, I said we had but wasn’t asked to produce anything.

Queuing at the gate was very haphazard, the plane was almost full. 

At Alicante passport control all good, but as we approached the baggage collection a man stopped all passengers asking for their health forms. Chaos. So many British people said they had no idea what they were talking about, others had filled out 1 sole form for a party of 8. Just to be sure, I had the printed British form for me and my partner and the Spanish one, printed, and on my phone.

I then got through to a desk with 2 more people who preferred to scan my Spanish form and we were through.

I was surprised at how many people, even when asked on the plane whether they needed a form to fill out thought they were exempt, to quote “We are British, not foreigners” !!!

You will need a boarding pass to get into the airport.  Only passengers allowed inside. 

What if you are picking up a car from a airport rental company but you dont have a boarding pass?

hi i travelled from leeds 21st june - lst flight out of leeds since lockdown - had no problems at all - had to wear masks on entering airport til landed in alicante but once out airport was able to remove mask - alicante had staff on duty re form filling ie where you staying but i was tolld to go straight through - only had my temperature taken (in alicante) - and it was same on returning to uk 12th july except had to complete a uk visa entry application - all good - now waiting to return but not holding my breath as north and south of me went back into lockdown

If the rental company is inside the airport and you have the booking information, they will surely have to let you in. 

My daughter and grandson are coming by easyJet and I wondered if they sent any forms out I think I had a message but it got deleted by mistake and I can’t find anything on their site. Thanks
