Horizondave Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Still waiting for the idiots in government to make a decision on whether they are going get rid of the quarantine requirements on entry to the UK from 06 July. I am booked to travel to Berlin on Saturday and I will receive my boarding card tomorrow from 0840 but I will not go if they have not made this, long awaited, decision by tomorrow evening. I am off to the Devon coast on Monday via the Mendips and that is more important than any international travel presently. I will not jeopardize that.

Nightcrawler Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 I just contacted my travel insurance company out of interest to see what it would cost me for 4 weeks in Thailand. £82.57 I could live with that. Won't be booking yet though. But October would be nice in a perfect world. Not holding my breath though. Would probably stick with Emirates, Gatwick to BKK via Dubai. Still pipe dreaming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC, as things stand right now, the insurance has to be under a Thai government approved policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you looked at an annual policy? I paid about the same as you for a 1 year policy just as Corona was kicking off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Sturgeon in Scotland being a c**t and playing Politics as usual. That's what's holding it up. Boris will probably announce it tomorrow in the press conference, if not announced to Parliament before. Papers probably get briefed on it tonight as well. Horrible little Jimmy Krankie!

No matter what Westminster does, she'll play politics and do different IMO. Nevermind covering up shit like the Nike Conference. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's encouraging, to be honest I thought the insurance companies would use it as an ideal opportunity to pull all our pants down. Thanks for the info. 1 hour ago, Krapow said: Well, we can agree to disagree. No matter what Westminster does, she'll play politics and do different IMO. Nevermind covering up shit like the Nike Conference. She will be contradictory regardless, Boris could give Scotland £500 billion tomorrow and she's still find a reason to criticise and moan that it either wasn't enough or took too long in coming. She's a spiteful little turd. The biggest shame is that Ruth Davidson stood down pre election, I always rated her and she could well have gained a shedload of ground had she remained in situe, maybe even giving NS a wee bit of a kick up the backside.
