I FLEW the AIRBRIDGE to EUROPE & Ended up IN ____ ?

  • What is it like to fly Business Class into Europe after lockdown? What's changed, are there restrictions stopping you and how has the experience effected the enjoyment of travel. Referred to as the Airbridge or travel bubble - it is now possible for intra Europe travel. I fly on three different aircraft most interestingly BA's 787 Dreamliner in Business Class & also Iberia's A350 in their Business.
    Possibly the most alarming experience was a completely full flight on Iberia's A320. After months of social distancing, being sandwiched in a plane with many others does make you feel a little uneasy.
    I also show you the arrival experiences by country, including Spain, Belgium, Holland and back in the UK. What forms and processes you have to go through now including if you need to quarantine.
    Lastly I look into what it's like to travel on public transport throughout Europe, and how reliability of hotel bookings has been effected.

    I just found your channel. My mantra is : There is no prestige in paying too much (being ripped-off). That is what airlines are doing now as you show - Business Class fares with Basic Economy service. My wife and I travel, usually in Business Class, we wait for a deal as we are in no hurry, or Premium Economy depending on the airline (NOT Air France - horrible). But, the main thing you share with us is - find the beer or the good stuff in the Lounge. Thanks for an entertaining and informative channel.

The checks do seem tick box, but I don’t see it as feasible to run detailed checks on everyone especially with pax loads increasing at present. Off further afield in a couple of weeks... I have a feeling that may be a little different

    You talk about getting back to living relatively normally but I don't think things will be back to anywhere near normal for quite awhile .

      I think it varies massively as to where you’re based in the world. Europe is certainly heading back to relative normality, flights are increasing each week and some airports are recognisable to an extent to what they were pre covid. Hopefully things in Australia will improve soon, especially for the sake of the aviation/tourism industry. Sad to see the last 747 leaving Qantas last week. Safe travels when you are able to resume ✈️

      Haha I know where you're coming from. On a busy flight the existing BA seat can be a nightmare for privacy.

    How did you not end up in quarantine for 7-14 days in each country you landed in particularly in the peak of the Delta variant if not the Alpha variant. Guessing it's why you didn't go to the US or Canada and had you gone to Australia/NZ at the time you did this trip you'd be in lockdown quarantine for 14 days if you were even able to get into the country which I doubt not as a tourist anyway.
