It’s Valentines Day and also the end of the week, so here’s some love and Last Week at Economy Class and Beyond.
I’ve had something that resembles snow in Birmingham. It’s been fun cleaning and warming the car up, then heading out to work.
UK Quarantine and testing plans
- UK Government finalises Hotel Quarantine plans… with very big sticks – Get ready to pay £1750 if you have to use the Hotel Quarantine facilities. I’ll be diving more into it before it goes live tomorrow.
Passenger Experience
- Delta Air Lines extends its seat blocking policy – Now continuing to the end of April.
- Gatwick Airport to start charging for drop-offs outside the North Terminal from 8th March – If there’s something that annoys people (if this post is anything to go by) people HATE new airport charges
- Virgin Atlantic extends free changes to *30th April 2023* – Changes for the long haul
Rail
- GWR to add extra services to Newbury Racecourse, supporting a vaccination centre – More options for those who need to be vaccinated near Newbury
