We’ve passed another week of rapidly changing travel advice and news – so here is your weekly update in Last Week at Economy Class and Beyond.
Travel Restrictions and Changes to the United Kingdom
There’s a lot to go through this week – with both USA/EU to the UK changes live, as well as major changes to the Green/Amber/Red Lists
- Entry into the United Kingdom rules change for US and EU Visitors now live for Vaccinated Travellers
- UK Government adjusts entry lists, with countries moving around – Thank Grant for Tweeting and not using the Department of Transports press function. It makes writing articles damn near impossible.
- UK latest Green/Amber/Red Lists changes now *LIVE* – And the changes live for all to enjoy
Trip Reports
Escape the Village continues. I was hoping to get three parts published this week – however, the joy of the real world got in the way more than once this week.
Routes and Networks
- British Airways adds North American and European Capacity – More capacity and seats from BA
- Ryanair launches a new base at Newcastle Airport – From Byker Grove to the world
- Etihad to resume London and Manchester services – Starting today, 28 services from Abu Dhabi to the United Kingdom
- Emirates to restart its Glasgow service – Coming at you, four times a week from Wednesday
In-Flight Entertainment
The Business of Aviation
- Emerald Airlines sign a ten-year franchise agreement with Aer Lingus to operate regional services – Due to start in 2023… although Aer Lingus needs a regional partner a lot sooner thank to the demise of Stobart Air.
