I really have trouble with the concept of the UK not being a part of Europe. To the rest of the world it always has been, but to them, it isn't. Just Island mentality I suppose, and fear of things different - I know the arguments against the bureaucracy etc. It is certainly difficult to remain apart from your fellow citizens though, when there are so many jammed into a tiny space that is the British Isles (sorry Scotland and Wales), especially Down South. I wish they would get this thing sorted so I can go back on a nice long holiday.

Until somebody says different, the EU rules probably apply, so referring to them regarding UK travel is likely a prudent option. Why don't they just say "we are not in Europe anymore" and then go on as before? This is the realistic option anyhow.

Also, the consequences of getting sick in Italy are disastrous.

Exactly. There's an important point to consider too in that alot of travel insurance companies are not covering if you get ill from covid-19 while abroad.

Transat will include health insurance for Covid to their passengers.
