I’d like to fly Thailand to U.K (I’m unvaccinated) with minimal fuss/risk of being quarantined. I know U.K. travel rules changed from Friday, so U.K. doesn’t require any tests/docs. But what about the airlines/transit countries? Will I still need a covid test of some kind? What is the path of least resistance?

TLDR : Answer Summary
Traveling from Thailand to the U.K. as an unvaccinated passenger has become less complicated with recent changes in U.K. regulations. Currently, the U.K. does not require any COVID-19 tests or documentation upon entry. However, passengers must be aware of the specific requirements of the airline they choose and any transit countries along the route. For instance, some airlines, like Thai Airways, might still require a PCR test regardless of the U.K. rules, and specific transit countries may impose additional testing requirements. It is advised to check the latest regulations directly with the airline and remain informed about any updates related to COVID-19 travel policies.

In answer to your question, most airlines only request the destination country's Covid regulations. UK has stopped all Covid entry requirements

Honestly google is your friend here. The airlines website will tell you a lot quicker. Plus you don't need to wade through the vaccine debate posts.

@Jonathan ******
that was my first port of call. But honestly they don’t updates that quickly to reflect changes in rules etc. Ideally I’m trying to find someone who travelled Thailand to U.K. since Friday to learn about their experiences

@Paul *****
i asked someone in this group 2 wks ago perhaps. He flew to London with no pcr required
Vikorn ***********
Correct: i asked last week. He said no need pcr
Vikorn ***********
@Paul *****
didn't they scrap the form last week?
Jonathan *******
@Paul *****
if you fly direct to London, normally you have to follow the destination country rules. So to fly to the UK you won't need anything. ATK at most
Paul ******
ORIGINAL POSTER
@Jonathan ******
only direct flights I can find are thai airways who require PCR I believe. Plus I’d rather fly to Manchester than london, so if it can be done with a transit stop that doesn’t require test that would be ideal
Joanne ************
@Paul *****
to fly to Manchester now there is no Covid test, just a locator form
Paul ******
ORIGINAL POSTER
@Joanne ***********
don’t even need the form now. The only hurdles are the airline itself - eg thai airways requires PCR irrespective of U.K. rules -, and the transit country may still require a test also

Yes cause billions of people for the last 150 years have been getting vaccinated and they all are stupid but yea the recent trend of Facebook warriors like your self are the pinnacle of human intelligence
Jean *******
First off you have never worked in the medical field ever in your life. Stop lying. A vaccine is any biological cocktail that makes the body produce antigens to a diseases. If its done by injecting some of the cell the shell or with new advances in technology by injecting mrna of the virus which makes your body produce a protein that the body knows dosent belong and builds antibodies. Those antibodies are the same ones required to fights covid. So it's a vaccine. A other thing u said that is false.
Jean *******
@John **********
@John **********
John Derderian read the cdc website. Because people making vaccines are so stringent, they put it on pause because of six cases of blood clotting due to rare blood conditions. It been again cleared for use.

You can't have it both ways. You trust when you hear bad news from the cdc, but when they say no it's ok you will find another reason to support your false narrative. So which is it ?
John ***********
@Jean ******
i don't trust any government agency, period! But when they say 6, you know there are many more. If they say Don't use it unless absolutely necessary because of the side effects (6 ya that would make them say Don't take it, ) it must be so bad that they had to do something because they couldn't hide it.

Keep drinking the juice buddy. I can have it anyway I want it,, you want to know why because its my freedom of choice and my freedom to decide what i want injected into my body... keep believing what they tell you.

Government knows what you need.

@Lynnette ******
ya well it's not authorized for use in the US. Even if it was it also has serious side effects plus I already had covid 19, I worked in covid ICUs before there even was a vaccine for 9 months. Never got covid until omicron, and it was a short flu. Now I have antibodies. Most approved vaccines are mnra, they are not vaccines, they are treatments. That's a fact.

I wish they had a real vaccine that wasn't dangerous to take. Because I would take it as I have all my vaccines. Unfortunately I don't trust any of the covid vaccines. To dangerous and I don't want to hit the side effects lottery Of which there are many on a virus that kills the people it was designed to kill, over 80 with a high acuity of co morbidity, surely you understand
Jean *******
@John **********
@John **********
John Derderian false it is approved by the FDA. So once agai you show how little you actually research before you speak.
John ***********
@Jean ******
yes it is approved but not recommended and only under special circumstances, I'm talking j&j vaccine,

Astrazenica is not approved in the USA.

See source
Jean *******
No point cause you clearly are not interested in knowing what is true and what is just rubbish. If asked about any aspect of what a vaccine is you cannt give am educated response. But somehow think your knowledgeable enough to post your unresearched standing on the whole thing.
Jean *******
Yea, I'm saying 80% of humanity will be desd in 1 to 3 years. Lol I'm the one that dosent make sense. Is it the 5g, is it the spike protein, is it revelations and the mark of the beast, or is it covid is just fake. Its truly baffling that you can't make sense from nonsense. All of this from injecting a dead virus into your system so YOUR OWN BODY can develop antibodies. But yea I'm making no sense lol.

cdc removed j&just because it was killing people. MnRA is a treatment not a vaccine. I take real vaccines, not fake vaccines that allow you to not only get the virus it supposed protect you from but also spread it to your grandma and grandpa.

Keep drinking the juice buddy.

@John **********
Lol.... there are more traditional vaccines available. But hey, don't bother looking it up. The vaccine is not live virus vaccine. You cannot spread the virus from being vaccinated. Incredible ignorance on show here.

thats simply not true. All the other way around vaxed are the spreaders and at high risk of medical injury. Look at the studies they are all available now. The suppressed but now released fizer docs also support this position you have all been conned. Read read read, dont believe the propaganda.

funny that because all the unvaccinated people I know, have never had covid. I had to get it for my work. All the staff In my work place have had Covid twice. The second time after my 2 vaccines, was worse than the first before I was vaxed
John ***********
@Richard *******
why do you care?
Terry **********
Ffs he only asked about getting back to UK and that he was unvaccinated. Why does everything have to turn into a pissing contest about who, why, what etc etc. By the way I've been vaccinated by my own choice. The guy who is asking about the flights etc is not, by his choice.
Lisa ********************
@Lynnette ******
it's not been proven that unvaccinated people are more infectious.
Lynnette *******
@Lisa *******************
according to the medical profession the viral load has been higher in those most sick. Its just how it is. Fortunately in uk we've had huge numbers vaccinated and the amount of seriously ill and deaths has dropped. Though we are facing an increase in cases due to no need to stay home if sick with covid. Either way its everyone's choice to vaccinate or not.
Lisa ********************
@Lynnette ******
yes they MAY get more sick but not necessarily more infectious. UK is 87% vaccinated yet still high infection rates. Every vaccinated person I know, has still caught Covid 🤷‍♀️. As I said it's personal choice.
Lynnette *******
@Lisa *******************
as I said also, it's personal choice.
Lisa ********************
@Lynnette ******
ok. So let's not discriminate against those who choose not to be jabbed.

Lynnette Munoz the vulnerable can take the vaccine. if it works they don’t need to worry about the unvaccinated. If it doesn’t, then vaccinating the unvaccinated won’t help them anyway. I believe in reducing transmission wherever possible - washing hands, masks, social distance around the vulnerable etc. I’m also not anti vaxx. I have had and will have many vaccines in my lifetime. To me this vaccine makes no sense and so I will not take it. In fact I’ve been in Thailand a lot longer than planned precisely because it’s worth it to not have to take the vaccine
Lynnette *******
@Paul *****
you're not quite right about the vulnerable relying solely on themselves being vaccinated. But as no-one is forced to be vaccinated a lot of people will opt out.
Michael ********

Unvaccinated have to quarantine.

exactly - my chances. Nothing to do with social responsibility. I wear masks etc. No problem. Vaccination is my issue and my health. Wake up

You will have to quarantine and good luck meeting the insurance requirements if you aren't vaccinated.
Bruce **************
@Richard *******
insurance is no problem you will have to quarantine currently. But they will drop that also eventually as it is not productive or protective.
David *********
@Richard *******
I’ve never been asked about vaccinated status when getting insurance so don’t talk nonsense

insurance requirements to return to my home country? Curious. You really seem not to understand the fundamentals here, so kindly move on

why not? Their choice.
Bruce *********
@Lisa *******************
why would you want to come to a country like Thailand where they really take covid-19 very seriously?
Lynnette *******
@Lisa *******************
the 'why not' is probably because unvaccinated often get more sick, more virus, pass it on more easily. . possibly to people who are more vulnerable. But it's his choice to do that. No one has to be vaccinated.
Miki *******
@Ant****
plenty pf vax deaths, blood cloth death shots.

not sure why you are telling me. The medical science is not based on your personal experience. And I've already said vaccination is not mandatory and no one has to be vaccinated.

. I have done this a few times since Covid. Quarantine, sandbox and test and go so I am pretty used to it. And my family are visiting me in Thailand in a few weeks so I have kept up to date with it. Both countries do not require a PCR prior to boarding now so as the emirates site says “get on get off” lol.

If I have got it wrong there will be 8 unhappy people at Manchester airport in 2 weeks. And one very unhappy man in Hua Hin. Lol.
