I have flights and hotels booked seperatley for a destinstion outside the EU.
I am going with Aer Lingus to Paris and Air France to India.
I booked the end to end flighy with one agency.
Hotels are with biiking.cim and they toik ni money yet.
If France or Ireland ban non essential travel before I go, will my flight be cancelled?
What if one leg is cancelled and the other is not and i am unable to reach my destination?
What about booking.com? Seems i coukd just cancel online.
Same with return trip.
The trip is a holiday, essential in my opinion but probably not in the eyes of the government.
I have premium travel insurance but the terms are quite ambiguous.
Am now losing sleep over this!
If the flight departs, you lose. No refund, and no voucher. As above, you would need to reschedule the flight in advance.Even if non essential travel is banned, the flight may still run right?
Where do I stand there?
Depends on what your insurance says, but many people's experience last time was that it was not covered. You need to read your policy, but most insurers have introduced clauses since the pandemic begun to exclude cover for such events. For example, InsureMyTrip advertise Covid cover benefits and speak to additional cover it offers, but at the end of the list of benefits they state they offer no cover for cancellation due to government restrictions.So if there is a non essential travel ban and the government says I am not allowed to fly, yet the plane departs for people with essential reasons to travel, would insurance not cover this?
The insurance T&C's are not clear, probably intentionally.
What speculation is this? Is it the media jumping the gun again trying to generate drama and headlines out of covid. At least nphet have been gagged for the moment.. There are too many variables to give you a definite answer. The speculation this morning is very unfair on people who have trips planned. I can't see them banning travel at this stage to be perfectly honest.
Bureaucratic sclerosis and IT lack of capability is a more plausible explanation.What I truly don't understand is why they are not updating the cert with the booster information.
Many countries across Europe are now saying that fully vacced means booster included.
I'm boosted, but my cert doesn't reflect this - which means I'm un-vacced in the eyes of many.
I've emailed and tweeted at Leo, Micheal and Stephen Donnelly asking why we don't have this and what is the plan to do so.
Not a peep from them so far.
What reason would they have for NOT updating the app?
I'm not a tin foil hat person, but could there be a motive for this?
I wonder is there any other way, any workaround we could use in the absence of the updated cert.
Has anybody tried anything at all - I'm at my wits end.
Did you get a card confirming your booster when administered?Or did they add it to your original card?I'm going to France 8th Jan for 3 weeks snowboarding.
For the first week I am considered fully vacced - which I am, including booster
From the 15th Jan, France has stated that fully vacced must include the booster - which our cert does not reflect - as stated above.
In order to use the ski lifts, you must be either fully vacced, recovered or PCR test in last 24hrs.
Meaning, I'll have to do a PCR test every day at a cost of 44e to use the lift.
It just seems like such a stupid issue in the big scheme of things - just update the fecking cert like they're doing in most other european countries.
I know, first world problem - please don't judge me - there are people worse off than me, I'm fully aware of this.

But the dose will be noted, batch number etc and is printed.Yes, just a new card saying I'm boosted - but there is no QR code on it - try flashing that to someone checking at the ski lifts!
"Monsieur, there is no QR code - you cannot enter"
"But you can clearly see my paper card with handwritten date and dose, let me in!"
