But the Maldives will continue to require all visitors to prove they have had a negative Covid test within 96 hours of arrival."worthy purpose" for visitingThe Department for Transport said the new additions to the safe list had seen a decrease in confirmed cases of coronavirus.

After so much doom and gloom, travel companies can suddenly see the sunshine. The Canaries are a key destination for UK airlines and tour operators. Travel companies, which have seen demand slump due to the quarantine rules, welcomed the decision on the Canaries. Andrew Flintham, managing director of TUI, said the holiday operator had not been able to take people on a holiday to the Canaries for 89 days.

WHY NOT? Are the tourists in Canary Islands, Mykonos, the Maldives and Denmark ALL ONLY from England?

For how long

Trouble is you can go on holiday and short notice be told your place is off the list. Too risky

but will the Canaries accept the Brits?

Can get on a plane but not on a local bus except for necessary journeys, absolute joke!!!

I doubt they will want us anyway given the current infection rate here, so totally irrelevant.

Cannot believe we just booked Koz with TUIUK would have loved to have gone to Tenerife ✈️ 🌞 🥂

Be 4 weeks then Canary Islands bs back on the quarantine list when every fucker goes there for a week on last minute deals

Have you investigated how many travellers actually isolate when they return from holidays anywhere? Who checks?

You already know...

All non essential travel abroad should have banned at the start of this and continued until next year.

Cases are rising in Denmark and new restrictions have been announced. So welcome...

Maldives for a week bruh

Dr. Li-Meng Yan shows the evidences in her two short reports that the coronavirus was manufactured and spread intentionally by the Chinese Communist Party. Click Amen00777 to read the 2 reports.

As everyone rushes to book half term in Tenerife!

So they’ve recently dragged the workforce back from Turkey and Poland, into quarantine and then back to work. While opening Canary Islands, Mykonos, the Maldives and Denmark for themselves and their cronies. It’s so bloody obvious!

Not this year. I can’t afford a month off work.

Canary Islands now deemed safe, just in time for the half term school holidays...

Robbie_14 what you saying? ☀️🍺✈️

Gripper1975 Great, if I only had a spare 3 grand to go the Maldives 😄

Then loads of people go there, the virus spreads and it go back on the list.. !!!!!!

Mkudu61 😍😉

sophieoconnor01

And yet the infection rate is higher than ever right now here in DK 🤔 do they know what they’re doing or do they just stick a pin in a map

Surely not.....last I heard Wales hospitals were over loaded.....

Of course. Millionaires have to go check “their” dirty money on Canary Islands and Maldives.

The Danish PM this afternoon 16.00 hrs declared more caution and it's very likely the borders will close anytime this weekend. Coz they have registered 500 cases daily for under a week. And whilst Denmark's doesn't consider itself safe,UK has it on safe list.

Ryanair charging £250 one way 🙈

How about Italy - especially the snowy north for x mas?

You are saying this as if people were adhering to the quarantine in the first place lmao.

Except the UK is still on Denmark's banned list 🤷‍♀️

Absolutely bonkers. East Asian countries are a lot stricter on travel restrictions and rightly so.

Bonkers, was on a plane with 290 on board plus flight crew, might aswell not be wearing masks as can take them off when food and drink served ha ha, mental.... mental! No social distance available, yet come home and can’t even sit somewhere indoors for a coffee. 🤯🤯 mind boggles

nikki_louisex maldiiiiiiiiiiives 🥰

I assume some Govt ministers had already booked to go there.

So after Jet2 cancelled our holiday next weekend, after we’ve rebooked it twice, we can now potentially rebook again - I don’t think so !

Are people still honestly going on holiday?

Gays on their way to book their all inclusive to Maspalomas

Sweet - let me just book my week in the Maldives tomorrow...

Gutted as I really wanted to go to Wales or Ireland for a holiday soon but now gonna have to do the Maldives instead.

So Mykonos and Canary Islands must be paying a good back hander to a politician ? Then whilst out there they’ll be a statement to say you have to quarantine for 14 days

That’s ok if you can actually get out of our own lockdowns. It’s almost like taking the mickey!

ebonyg_1 zoeduffy8

bbclaurak You agree with that bbclaurak If you do its a first!

Until you get there then they change their minds

Maldives please sysocraig 😘

Do you need a negative test to go?

We aren't on anyone's safe travel list so why are we allowed to leave? Fuckin rabid country we live in.

Yes yes yes yes yes yes !!!!!!

mackenx Mykonos

We know where everyone will go for half term then. Obviously that's where the politicians want to go or they should have waited until kids were back at school

tom_morris4 🤭

amberdarby__ juliaalixx let’s gooo

judd147t rsummers89 jtrump92 Broughts89 char_walters147 tomorrow?

Great news...

bbclaurak It’s worth pointing out that it’s an offense for anyone in Wales to travel after Friday evening

And...they’ll wait till you’re happily on your way then slap a quickie quarantine on you...🙄

Ben_H_Wirral 👀

We need to fly out to help out

I think they should be worried about us....

😂😂😂

bbclaurak WTF does any country want visitors from the 🇬🇧 without requiring them to quarantine?

Best off staying there. The UK is finished.

bbclaurak

bbclaurak How much did this cost? £12bn, apparently, but no money for hungry children.

Is it me? 🤪

Yeah but UK is currently one of Denmark’s ‘Banned’ countries...so good luck booking that holiday.

Things make no fucking sense any longer. Go on a plane with 50 other people, keeping less than 1 metre distance between each other, but we got to spend outside with 6 people. I think that is right, I've lost interest In these 'rules' now.

TNKYMNKY brb downloading Eric Diers app and getting a reservation at VeVe

Just in time for millions to book & have the Govt re-add them next week, be careful people.

Would love a trip to the Canary Islands

bbclaurak Its not the end of the world if you don't go abroad on holiday. Put you money into the UK economy.

bbclaurak No but when you get here you will. Waste of money and time.

Haven't you seen the rising numbers in Denmark?🤦‍♀️

How long do UK residents have to be quarantined in these countries? Are they welcome at all?

Yes, lets go & infect them😉

But want this countrys english tourists?

It's a British holiday makers duty to make sure these destinations aren't on the safe list for long.

Finally, politicians can go to the Maldives and Mykonos without judgment when they inevitably don’t isolate anyway 🙄

Still can't go, I live in Wales

Harry Maguire is en route as we speak👏🏼

mikeep6 FFS... My holiday to Lanzarote got cancelled by my travel company a week ago because of FCO advice. It's all such a bloody s**t show.

bbclaurak Is that until people start going and are out there... Then change again

Well this makes zero sense

The Maldives it is then deepelmjimmy?

bbclaurak wolfson184 🇩🇰

bbclaurak Isnt that crazy daughter lives 25 mins away from me in Wales I am in chester but cant visit her but can go to the canary isles etc

Could do with a week in the Maldives

bbclaurak Must be a top Tory figure planning a holiday there then.

bbclaurak Just in time for rich Tories to book for the Maldives over Christmas.

bbclaurak Very brave to be putting Maldives on a safe to travel list in the current climate.

bbclaurak now its end of season in Mykonos and everything is closed 🙄

bbclaurak Leisure travel? Just don't.

*Harry Maguire like this*

Soon be hemorrhaging covid there then.

bbclaurak Canary Islands !!!

sarahhgellatly fuuuumiiiiing haha

Why would any of these countries want UK citizens travelling to them given the disastrous way we have handled the pandemic.

Until when? Don't think I'll risk it
