Flying with Covid
I have the dreaded C word lurgy, but really need to get home to the UK from Europe (I'm running out of cash for a hotel and can last only 3 more days). I have all the paperwork the UK Govt might ask for - UK passport, NHS triple vaccine proof, etc... but nevertheless I am sick and an antigen test went positive within 30 seconds
I get that wearing a mask or two would be a very good idea, I should keep away from people and I should ask for a seat on the plane far from other pax
However... are airlines accepting pax for travel if the passenger clearly looks unwell ? Are handling agents asking for antigen / lateral flow tests to be done at the gate ?
I am aware roughly one person in 70 in the UK currently has Covid, many without symptoms and unaware of their infectious status. I would definitely not be the only person who is Covid infectious to be flying to the UK.
