My sentiments exactly!
I have flown twice on business since mid July from the UK to France and Germany. But now due to the many restrictions and quarantine rules all over Europe, I am essentially grounded!
A colleague of mine spent 5 days recently in France for business and flew back via Germany as no direct flight to his final destination. He paid to have a test in France 3 days before his departure to Germany and had the results 24hrs later which he provided to the German authorities on arrival. Stayed in a hotel overnight, the next day had another test at the airport in Germany (free) and again results available 24hrs later (both negative). But because he originated in France, he still has to quarantine for 14 days in the UK, despite having 2 negative tests within 5 days in two different countries. Good job he can also work from home and is on partial furlough!
