Future international flights

Quote from Splinter

A friend of ours who lives in Uruguay and was due to fly to BA on Monday has just had her flight cancelled because she apparently didn't have a compelling reason to come here, even though she's Argentine with Uruguayan citizenship. Her man lives here and they haven't seen each other since March.

I fear that the Argentine government will keep this up until at least the end of December.

Ohh that is not good. Was the whole flight cancelled or just her tickets do you know? I thought as an argentine citizen she did not need a reason to come home

i posted a link in the coronavirus thread re death rate you may be interested in. Its up to date data from official sources putting the death rate at 0.3 as per our chat earlier on that thread.

Thanks hairyscotsman , but I would rather stick to flights in this thread if you don''t mind.

No problem..my apologies.

I cant decide if i should put my november flight off until after new year and keep the GF here once she manages to get to Bs and then flying to me in Scotland...Flights are expensive to bring her and her son over..1000 pounds each ..thinking i might as well keep us together for as long as possible. I did not expect the non entry of foreigners to still be in place for so long given the virus is loose everywhere. Wedding booked for january 16th ..might not make that ...

Prices will come down once regular flights start properly

But no one knows with any certainty when that will happen

One of my mates who is a pilot for LATAM has just gone to China to fly for a Chinese domestic airline - Only job he could get at the moment

Wedding in Scotland? hairyscotsman ?

Was a thought John but not possible as she needs to apply for a wedding visa in person in Bs and taking aside the logistics the bloody visa place is closed due to covid...could not script this...

So in your opinion when do you think they will allow entry for non Argentinians ...I assume they have pretty much given up on this summers tourist season. I cant imagine the hardship that will cause so many.

Every fucking thing is closed. We can't even apply for a marriage license, a process I started more than 12 months ago.

its a nightmare ..i can only imagine the problem she is going to have getting her original birth certificate as she was born in cordoba and it needs apostled if she is to bring it here as its possible we can marry in ireland as we are just wanting the paperwork done. Good luck with your situation |!

Do you need a visa for Gretna Green?

yes .. She needs a marriage visa for anywhere in uk

To get back to your other question , I dont have a clue .

As far as I can see the government has no plan whatsoever

There is a lot of pressure from airlines to commit to October but the government are still worried about figures - so they will continue for the time being with these semis-special flights for a few months . I hope I am wrong but......

As from next week , Buquebus add a third weekly frequency between Bs As and Montevideo , but who can travel is still restricted . From here its only Uruguayans or legal residents or those with special permission. . And from MVD its only Argentines and those with full residency.

All madness

The tourist season ? God only knows ...

Apparently you will be tested at the entrances to all coastal towns . That is the plan at the moment. Safety or madness?

Yes its a crazy situation they have put themselves in. As long as they start domestic even on a special flight basis in October i can at least get her over here.

I agree i dont think they will commit to a regular schedule and i cant see that happening until they allow foreigners entry or they wont be the need for that amount of flights.

I would be surprised if they did away with the 14 day quarantine after putting the whole country into lockdown since march..Must be the longest country in quarantine in the whole world and then allow free reign of visitors ..that would be a risk and they seem to be incapable of taking any risks or even making a bloody decision ...And that would kill the tourist season i would imagine..

Its just a mess

Splinter , I think quite a few countries have similar forms.

One step forward

But be prpeared for two back at any moment

I heard a rumour that Salta - Iguazu will be the rifts route to be approved . Both with low levels of infection , so it make sense
