  I’m scheduled to travel to Brazil (flight to GRU with BA is still going ahead for now) on 27th Nov with my wife who is a Brazilian citizen (but resident in UK). We’re meant to spend over a month there. It’s not a holiday nor work trip (though we will both work remotely from there). It’s simply going to a home country for a while. I wonder how I should classify it and if it is allowed (and how I can argument it to the airline or anyone if need be). Anyone, please give your thoughts!

    You will need to wait to read the full legislation. If it’s not a business trip, I doubt it’s going to be allowed though, based on what we’ve been told thus far.

    Going to care for an old relative? Looking for a new job whilst out there? Essential personal business to take care of in Brazil? Take your pick!

  FYI- Jet2 won’t differentiate between Scotland and England and will be stopping flying after tomorrow until lockdown ends…

  You say UK hotel personal stays are banned. This is incorrect. It applies to England, not the other three UK countries.

    Correct. Let’s see what the legislation says though.

    And, actually, a lot of London hotels appear to be staying open under the ‘travelling for work’ exemption. If you book 2 rooms and turn up with your partner claiming they are your colleague I think you’ll be fine.

  i’m flying LIN-LHR-LGW-ANU on 10th/11th November…. all on one ticket, coming back from work. If the LGW-ANU flight actually runs, should i have a problem, because i’m officially just in transit?

  also, because of the change of airports, i’m assuing my baggage won’t get checked all the way through?
