thesaint Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Just wondering if anybody is still travelling to Denmark or Austria.If these countries are letting in uk citizens who have been double vaccinated,then what is there to stop us travelling over and trying to get tickets over there.Realise for Denmark it would be pretty hard,but i reckon there will still be tickets available for the Austria game,as it's a pretty big stadium.Tickets would surely be available to purchase for anybody handing over the cash.

Thought Denmark and Austria had changed to allow uk double vaccinated entry for any reason and without having to take a test or self isolate.

Wouldn't use them anyway, but especially not when the clear advice is not to travel. Save your money, and have a few more beers in your local while watching the game. And I say that as a regular traveller to away games pre-pandemic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look pretty legit.Will lose the money i paid for my flights to london and back and from london to austria and back,because the flights will go ahead,even if i am not on them.Thought it might be worth a punt to try and get a ticket this way.

PCR testing still needed to come back the way if I’m not mistaken. If that’s the case, I wouldn’t be going anywhere until things are more settled and easy to understand.

thesaint Posted August 17, 2021 Author Share Posted August 17, 2021 The whole situation is ridiculous.Even when a country goes green,you still have to take pcr tests.Somebody is making plenty of money out of this,that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlfieMoon Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Well... they are trying to stop infected people sitting on a plane full of folk and then all of them entering another country. Here’s the equivalent page from ScotGov telling you basically the same rules as England: https://www.gov.scot/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-international-travel-quarantine/pages/red-amber-and-green-list-countries/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesaint Posted August 17, 2021 Author Share Posted August 17, 2021 So,basically it would just be a case of taking a pcr test at Vienna airport before flying back home.Not ideal,but not horrific either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to Croatia for a long weekend. Tested positive while in Croatia. Had to sort out and pay for 10 night's accommodation in Croatia suitable for someone with covid, change flights, take time off work etc. I'd only be travelling abroad at the moment if I absolutely had to.

thesaint Posted August 19, 2021 Author Share Posted August 19, 2021 Really swithering about whether to go to Austria or not.Have to weigh up the cost of a couple of covid tests against the fact that i will lose £200 or so on my flights that i have booked.Another £100 plus and get a trip ,or just accept the £200 loss on the flights.
