Hi all, just a few lines to let you know of my experience so far with Covid etc. We set off just before 6am on the 19th for the drive down to Manchester stopped off for a coffee at Weatherbuy, and got to the Meet and Greet at T1 to find it all closed up, phoned the information phone number to be told just to leave the car near the meet and greet office and take the car keys with us.
Manchester airport was vey quiet and once we checked in we went straight to security which was just as quiet had to wear our face masks /coverings took about 20mins and we where airside. Duty frees hope open as well as Boots WHSmith and a few other shops we had a look around and then went for a drink where we had to download an app for table service, which went really well 2 double gin and tonics, one cola and one bulmers total of 31.80 not a bad price I though, and before I knew it we where benign call to the gate (where did the time go) a short walk to the plane. Only 87 of us on the plane. Jet2 staff where outstanding, food and drink came around and then duty free shopping.
We landed early a short Waite at passport control and this is where they check for PFL form and you QR code and we soon found out the anyone with a QR code starting with the number 1 where going to be tested and anyone with the code starting with the number 2 where straight through. By the time I got tested which was only a 5min Waite the bags where already to pick up walked through the doors to be meet by the comply we rented the car from fill form out paid and we where on are way to the Green Meadow in Troulos dropped bags off and went. To the Sunrise for a drink and food.
All in all the whole day was no way as bad as I thought it was going to be and now that I’m sat here with the sun on my back and a cold beer, it was worth it.
More to follow in the next couple of days.
