CATCH UP

Hi Linda, hope you are keeping well. Just to give you some info about AER LINGUS. i recently flew home from New York via JFK. AER LINGUS is a irish airline. They fly out from Terminal 5 gate 30 from JFK. Its a small plane with three seats to the left and three to the right. I found the seats pretty comfortable and as its a small aircraft it took us a little over 5 hours from jfk to manchester unlike the 7 hours on the jumbos!. I would recommend row 7 it’s directly behind the first class cabin which has 6 rows. Row 7 has lots of leg room, my only complaint being the tv was a little far away for my eyes to see :) You get soft drinks free but have to pay for alcohol! one small can of beer and one tiny bottle of JD £10 thats almost $14!! I bought my own from the dutyfree for the journey back home :) I spent 10 days in New York and was surprised at how pleasant the weather was it was hitting 15!!! obviously i came prepared for the worse as the week before they have almost 2 ft of snow. I was sorry to hear about your relationship ( i’m not going to give a lecture on love rats excect to say their are three stages of healing ”  the Discovery, the Acceptance, and  the Next Chapter ”  If you do ever come back to the uk and fancy a tour around the city of Liverpool give me a shout! As far as British airways goes i can’t recommend them as they are nothing but hassle and have no manners or care when dealing with its customers. The smaller airlines offer more of a personal touch thats my opinion anyway.  Take care Linda

Hi Linda,

you don’t need to have a covid test to enter the UK nor do you have to wear masks. We had to have covid tests for USA and show our vaccine proof , fill out a locator, inform where we were staying while in New York and wear masks! we kept forgetting and was reminded  each time we entered a shop etc which was a good thing and shows New york at least are following guidelines :) Now i am back home i’m forgetting we don’t need masks except if its  personal choice.  All you need is proof of vaccine and fill out a locator form online.

If you are fully vaccinated

Before you travel to England you must complete a passenger locator form. You need to do this in the 48 hours before you arrive in England.

You do not need to take any COVID-19 travel tests before you travel to England or after you arrive.

You do not need to quarantine when you arrive in England.

i once booked  with their sister company
