Travelling from Ireland to uk in few days

[kissmelittleass]

Flying from Ireland to uk on Wednesday for a week so after Boris's announcement this evening does that mean myself and my dd now have to pay to get a pcr in the uk within two days of arrival and stay in until we get the results?? On returning to Ireland will I need to do the same?
Totally up in the air now don't know what to do I was going over to see parents with Xmas presents and now don't know whether they go or not?
I have no idea if the pcr in uk is required if your coming from Ireland?
Anyone understand what the heck's going on please enlighten me!

I’m confused! The U.K. authorities checked for those documents when you came from Ireland? I thought the CTA rules meant passengers didn’t need PLF, evidence of testing, etc.[/quote]
Nothing checked when flying to the UK, rules remain that way but Ireland changed their requirements and everyone is checked flying back in to the Republic now.

And PLF checked too, sorry missed that. Yes EVERYTHING! Had to be very organised!

@MmeSosostris My documents as I said in previous post, vaccine cert and antigen test were checked in the uk airport before boarding our return flight back to Ireland but nothing was checked flying out from Ireland to uk as not required!

I know Ireland is checking or rather the ports in Wales were checking PLF, etc before I could board. My understanding is because of the CTA, we don’t need any evidence entering U.K. (so, different rules).

My head is in such a spin that I think everyone is saying the same thing, just in different ways🙂
