I'm none-too-sure whether you ask because you want to know or because you don't believe what you've been told. But whatever your reason I doubt any CC member can give you that information for every country - you need to check the web for the terms for each country individually. Some, like Italy & France, require 14-days quarantine for those from outside the Schengen area.. Many, like Spain & Belgium (& I think Germany, but you should know better than I) have borders closed but with exceptions for truck drivers etc, and for those transiting through the country who can prove their onward destination. As with pretty-well everything to do with COVID-19, the situation is fluid and the situation now may be different tomorrow. Or even an hour from now We think a decision whether to quarantine those arriving in the UK will be announced around 7pm this-evening JB Edited May 10, 2020 by John Bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their website says that because of seriously-reduced flights they closed the North Terminal to operate all flights from South Terminal, but no mention of a complete passenger shut-down. BTW, Both Virgin and BA have said that it's likely that even after the pandemic they'll cease operations out of LGW & consolidate at LHR because they expect much lower demand for future air travel. Good news for those who live under the flight-path, bad news for everyone else. JB I apologise, not closed. According to the Gatwick flight arrivals two flights will arrive this afternoon, one from Dublin and one from Minsk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'd still be inclined to check the latest situation for any country that you are particularly interested in.

I realize that--I've got one booked in July through there and hoping they'll soon change it to a flight with an additional connection before I get to LHR so I can cancel for a full refund. I need to fly Aer Lingus next year to keep my Avios so a $3000+ credit on American will do me no good at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austria and Italy are either denying entry or requiring a 14 day quarantine depending on your citizenship, with a few exceptions for diplomats, health care workers, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were incorrect to change the punctuation on my earlier post !! This will make crew or passengers unable to reach the ships and no excursions possible, without working out how the ship will adapt to the 'new normal' One day we will cruise again but not in Europe 2020 !! I was expressing an opinion, just as you were. I firmly believe cruises WILL restart in Europe this year. You don't, fine, no need to use "!!". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisemom42 Posted May 17, 2020 #109 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Italy has just announced that it will reopen both its regional and international borders on June 3rd -- and are also not requiring a 14-day quarantine period to boot. Some of her European neighboring countries aren't thrilled: https://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/news/2020/05/16/italy-open-tourists-june-3/5205784002/ https://www.staradvertiser.com/2020/05/16/breaking-news/italy-plans-to-reopen-its-borders-june-3-with-no-travel-restrictions/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
