ORIGINAL POSTERHi, has anyone flown from UK/London since the new lockdown announcments on Saturday? Specifically trying to leave UK/enter Thailand on tourist visa. I have seen the announcments of "reasonable excuse/work/education only travel etc", I'm wondering if anyone has gotten through or plans to on TR?
I was planning on 2nd Jan flight, might just risk and buy everything and confirm COE

I work at Heathrow. Our instruction is that passengers are aware of the restrictions, but we don't ask. So long as they are valid for their destinations, we won't be stopping them.

I suspect that each airline will be treating the travel ban differently. They will be the ones who will be fined if their passengers are refused entry. Reply to

ORIGINAL POSTERThis seems like airports will stay open, the outbreaks haven’t been from international flights and they’ll know how important it is for tourism

@Joe *******
i also think that. They know that asq is not risky and ensures at least some kind of income though tourists.Bobby ********
Da Niel. Logic does not necessarily apply. If the country goes into lockdown flights will stop as people will be stuck in the immediate vicinity of their ASQ, unable to travel anywhere. Many hotels will close again, so realistic accommodation will not be available. The Philippines also has a 14 day mandatory government quarantine, but as of today has banned all flights carrying passengers from the UK.

The Thai PM has said he will assess the situation in Thailand on 28 December. Just beware he could announce a total lockdown of Thailand, which could again stop international flights arriving.

lockdown is about what's happening in Thailand. Flight bans are about what's happening abroad. Not relatedBobby ********
Dominic Ireland. I'm just comparing to the previous lockdown when virtually all international arrivals were stopped. If people decide to wait a bit longer there will be no demand for incoming flights.
