Apologies for my delay in answering this. When you fill in your travel details on the Passenger Location Form your Final Destination is asked for. Therefore, you'll be transiting through Portugal for Spain and back again to Portugal.We are travelling to Portugal at the end of September, and will also be leaving from Portugal, but we have also booked 3 nights across the border in Spain, having looked at websites for travel to Spain regarding filling in a location form, there seems to be none if you are crossing the border by car, is this correct, or will we be stopped at the border by police?
Thanks for the reply, do you know if vehicle traffic is being stopped at the border into Spain from Portugal, or will the hotel in Spain look for information when we check in, just to clarify we are travelling by return Dublin to Faro for a few weeks, but have booked a 3 night hotel stay in Spain during this time ( from 2020)Apologies for my delay in answering this.

This is where it gets confusing - You are travelling back to Portugal from Spain before your return to Ireland? I have to be honest and say I can't remember what part of the form (if any) you should fill in.
But, the Passenger Locator Forum for Spain is pretty detailed with several pages of information (much more detailed than the same form for entry to Ireland). It can only be completed 48 hours before departure time so don't leave it until the last minute.
I don't know if cars are being stopped on the Portuguese/Spain border, but I suspect they are. Also, I would say the hotel won't be interested in anything other than taking your credit card details.Thanks for the reply, do you know if vehicle traffic is being stopped at the border into Spain from Portugal, or will the hotel in Spain look for information when we check in, just to clarify we are travelling by return Dublin to Faro for a few weeks, but have booked a 3 night hotel stay in Spain during this time ( from 2020)
I read the article too and this should not happen under any circumstances.
What is this all about?
They don't need to push it. 80% of the population over the age of 12 has been fully vaccinated. That's why they're ending restrictions on 10th September.No massive pushing for vaccine
There seems to be a bit of a standoff between staff/unions and management over roosters. Appears to be mainly in terminal oneI read the article too and this should not happen under any circumstances.
I believe Dublin Airport is too small for the air traffic it handles while Cork, Shannon, Kerry, Knock are empty and devoid of flights for most of every day. It's time the DAA released some flights to other airports. Or better again, if Cork Airport can shed its Dublin owners (DAA) perhaps Ireland would be served better?
1. I don't think unions were involved in this one (I am open to correction).There seems to be a bit of a standoff between staff/unions and management over roosters. Appears to be mainly in terminal one
I flew out to Malaga last week and was horrified with the situation . Loads of young lads were not wearing masks on the flight including two sitting beside me . I had to ask to be moved before takeoff . I was allowed to move after takeoff and got a new seat . However once the food was served , masks stayed off for a lot of people until we nearly landed . It is nonsense that airlines , certainly this one in particular are looking out for you. The airhostess will not confront people not wearing masks . That is absolutely my experience anywayQueuing to get on plane. Queuing to get off plane. No social distancing. Transfer to terminal on packed bus. Queuing at passport control.
A family member flew through Malaga recently. All inbound planes being directed to one area. Two large Jumbo type planes from Middle East off loaded at same time his flight was being off loaded. Airside packed. Non airside practically empty.
These are the things that put me off.
We would love to get away. It is the travel bit that is worrying us, not the destination. We can keep to ourselves, choose to eat outdoors, avoid crowds when we arrive. However we cannot avoid Dublin Airport and it's queues, the yobs on the flight etc.What is this doing for the prevention of spreading Covid.
Would it not be more to do with the fact that the airport was basically closed for 18 months, now they don't have the staff when some sort of normality resumes. This is the price we are paying for our ultra cautious approach. You can't just switch back on an airport like Dublin back to full capacity.

The government have no role in rostering staff in Dublin airport.The government were warned about this
