Well – we’ve been through one hell of a week (and that’s, to put it mildly). And it’s… almost over.
Welcome to Last Week at Economy Class and Beyond.
Enough said (replaces the planed picture I was going to use today).
Travel Restrictions
This has been fast-moving this week – to put it bluntly. Especially with the introduction of Tier 4 restrictions in London and the South East of England.
- Tier 4 Restrictions introduced for London and South East – Travel restricted– A new tier appears and London & South East goes into Lockdown
- DEEP DIVE: Tier 4 Lockdown in England and International Travel– A dive into the international travel perspective of the Tier 4 move
- The Netherlands bans air travel to the United Kingdom– And the first ban following the Tier 4 announcement
- U.K. Travel Corridors update – 3 countries removed– The last update of the year… although “we’ll see”
Isolation time changes
- UK COVID-19 Isolation time drops from 14 days to 10 days – including travellers– Less time to isolate
- England “Test to Release” goes live– And even less if you pay to test.
Passenger Experience
- Frontier Airlines to deploy the Recaro SL3710 seat – A lightweight seat win?– Hint: The seat isn’t awful.
- Festive Menu comes to Qatar Airways– Well, it is almost Christmas.
Routes and Networks
- Emirates to add Istanbul back to its network– Another destination for Emirates

Next Week
Normally, the two weeks between Christmas and New Year are quiet times in the aviation press. Sadly, this year it’s going to be a lot busier than any of us would like I suspect. I’ll be keeping my eyes open as we barrel into the festive two weeks.
But for now, stay safe and wear a mask.
