Getting to/from Ibiza latest info

So I've got a week in Ibiza in October, but as the Ibiza season closes I've booked weeks in November and December on the Costa del Sol. I know this has been discussed to the epilogue, but as Ibiza does have hotels with indoor pools, we just need the late autumn and early spring flights grrr...

Think I wrote previously, my last trip abroad (can't remember Easyjet or Ryanair) they made it an absolute that you couldn't get on the aircraft unless you were wearing a mask.

On board, none of the crew wore any, so neither did the passengers. I know the world's gone barmy but....

Ryanair.

The world has gone barmy, but we don't have to join in..

honestly, thank f*** I've been in England over the past couple of years. The insanity of other countries has been laughable at best, and authoritarian hellscapes at worst..

Anyway on topic does seem to vary airline by airline but is still a Spanish requirement

Disgusting, and disgraceful. But you'll sadly find similar story's of waste pollution like this all over Europe.

Our Civil liberties were not curtailed anywhere near as much as many in Europe, certainly Spain, and thats the point. The ghost of Franco lives large out there.

sorry but whilst Spain is imperfect, bringing up Franco in 2022 is just ignorant. All the restrictions on movement were emergency measures for a defined period and 99% of life is back to normal now. the remaining restrictions will soon be phased out. You'd be better off directing your rage at the British govt for their cynical uselessness over the last few years.

I hold the UK parliament in complete contempt. But I can also point out where I think civil liberties are being stripped away, at home and abroad. And over the last couple of years spain became very authoritarian. And wherever the guarda civil enforce those draconian laws.

I had a great chat with a Spanish fella in Campden this time last year. He'd just returned from visiting his mother in Spain, and he told me he felt liberated to be back in London. His words, not mine.

Had to wear a mask flying with EasyJet from Gatwick to Ibiza in May. Not sure if it’s still a requirement with EasyJet.

Flying back to East Mids with Jet2 didn’t have to wear a mask. Didn’t have to wear a mask when we flew out with them again in July either.

Had to wear a mask with Ryanair flying to / from Ibiza to Barcelona and Madrid earlier this month because of the Spanish requirement to wear them on public transport / in chemists.
 
Sat near broading in Ibiza airport last week for a Ryanair flight. They announced due to Spainish law anyone without a mask will be denied boarding on the a Ryanair flight to Leeds.

I'd already spoken to a friend who bumped into some returnees who'd been denied boarding a simialr flight from Ibiza to UK at the start of July so expected it - many were panicking.

Went past the ticket check with mask in hand, got to the plane and masks were not mentioned at all.

Box ticking at its finest
 
3rd week of Aug - flew with Easy Jet from Gatwick to Ibiza (5:35am on way out and 9:00am on way back). We had no delays and didn't have to wear any masks. We just had to use a different que when we exited Ibiza airport to show our Covid vaccine pass.

Oh yes, England, that place where it's soooooo normal right now... 🤣

The country is a mess and absolute joke on the international stage, let's not pretend otherwise

Cancelled a few days in Brighton next month because of this, and wrote to the tourist board to explain why. Funny how a ton of MP's in southern Brexit-voting towns have suddenly backtracked, yet in the first place they all went through the lobby to vote in favour of filling the Channel with shit.
Don't care what we do to our country (it's a stinking cesspit anyway) but our actions have a direct consequence on France, Netherlands and Belgium who are, of course, in the EU and keep their waters clean.
To those countries I'm very, very sorry and deeply ashamed.
 
October the first seems, psychologically, a long way away. But next week it becomes less than a month!! Four weeks, 28 sleeps... but still not had my second booster jab; I reckon that's irellevant still as I've had the first and that's not time limited??

Don't think they are taking the 2nd booster into account at all and doesn't look like they can anyway, UK government has reconfirmed they won't be giving a 4th jab to under 50s this winter
 
I travelled in from norway yesterday, schengen. No mask on zurich airport, not on flights and no certificate shown. Hand luggage only and no hassle anywhere. Swiss air works! Did not show passport before checking in at hotel. The bus driver on L9 asked me to wear mask.

Total inconsistencey. Without wishing to raise an arguments whether masks are any good or not, it really should be all or nothing. Otherwise what's the point?? And by now it should be nothing with, arguably, the exception of hospitals where the public may well be in the same wards or waiting rooms as the vulnerable, but that's another argument.
 
Wooo..just been texted by the doc's; I can have my second booster, and it's on my birthday just before Ibiza! Yayness, so that should appear on the app soon after.
