UK-US travel, 2021/2022

[Plague]

@Plague wake up!! Breaking news!!

I'm very happy for my predictions to be proved wrong in this case

This made my day!
I still need to know if they'll allow in people vaccinated with AstraZeneca and if they allow unvaccinated small kids (my friends' children are 2 and 5). Fingers crossed.

When is the speach

im guessing young children that can’t get jab will be allowed too

Brilliant response thanks so much

You are welcome Ive been flying from Dublin to USA for about 20 years. All arrivials go into the building on the top floor and you will walk with everyone to the passport area. At the passport control area, you as a transfer passenger, will follow the signs to the transfer corridor. This corridor will bring you to escalators, where you will go down to the departure level and then follow the signs to the USA Pre Clearance area. It will take you longer than you think to walk, as you will basically walk the length of the terminal twice.

We are waiting on same confirmation 1 report said that they will accept what the WHO accepts for vaccinations so hopefully AZ will be fine. My boys are 9 so also waiting on that

Great to hear that the travel ban is in the process of being lifted as of November

Also need to know if 12 years old will be considered fully vaccinated with 1 dose.

It is a good news though

Per The Guardian
"There will be some exceptions to the vaccine policy including for children not yet eligible to be vaccinated. The new rules do not yet apply to travellers crossing land borders with Mexico and Canada."

Tiny steps back to normal.

Now if we could get flights back from Gatwick and confirmation about if children will get or will need a second jab I can start the sky scanner watch

I'm trying to figure out what to do. I can't decide between December or January. Aer Lingus have stopped the Dublin to LAX direct flights, so I will need to fly to the East coast first and then get another flight to LAX. And then Disneyland. In December its all the Christmas overlays and decorations, with no refurbs and longer park hours. January has lower crowds but shorter park hours and lots of refurbs. Ive been to Disneyland Paris in February and I did have a good time in a low crowd , refurb season.

Oh goodness, I just need some more official info, like when in November the travel ban will be removed and what type of tests we need. Ive had the Irish airport testing information websites book marked for months now, lol.

We were looking at December or Feb and decided Dec as Feb simply has nothing going on. I love all the Xmas decorations and music going on and always love seeing the Xmas trees. We though Feb hmm yeah lower crowds but far less atmosphere.

Could you go very early January, like right after new year? There would likely still be some Christmas decs up, crowds would be dropping and they may not have started the refurbs?

I am half thinking about that too, but I need to find out what my family is doing for Christmas. Oh goodness, I just need to think calmly about all this and make a proper plan

 

[mamamia2005]

Yes I'm all in a tizz too - I really had resigned myself that we weren't going for Christmas!

Ive been getting my head around not going until June 2022 and Ive been looking at hotels in Dublin to do a staycation break in October. That plan is now scrapped, lol, and my head is all over the place

So was I, I booked on Sunday thinking well lets see then the news yesterday it was like oh my we really might be going for Xmas (we had last Xmas booked). Hopefully can get the excitement and buzz going before hand

Haunted Mansion holidays overlay is worth the trip alone.

Ugh. I don't even like UK Christmas and (from what I've seen from afar) the US version is even worse.
If there was somewhere warm that didn't do Christmas at all, I'd go there every year ... but Iran has some other drawbacks.
