Flew EMA-CFU on 30th July and returned on 2nd Aug. A much different experience with both sides being a ghost town on the outbound leg. Strict enforcement of the Greece PLF on the way out in EMA with people being turned around at the gate. However no test for us on arrival in CFU which is supposedly pre-determined. Load was around 80-90%.

Return flight was a different story. CFU airport was actually quite busy with 6/7 outbounds back to varying destinations but the load was only around 50% on our RYR flight, if that, meaning a very spaced out flight. Again strict checking of the UK Gov PLF prior to immigration in EMA with several people taken aside to a dedicated area with ipads in booths where I guess they are made to fill them in there and then.

Overall a different but pleasant experience due to the quietness of the airports even though I know this is bad for the airlines/economy, obviously. Wearing a mask really isn't an issue for the duration either.
