We flew back to the UK on the 19th.
Flight was delayed - not because of the crewing problem on the plane but because there were staffing issues in Heathrow (London). The airlines can’t control that side of things. I guess there are many service industries who will struggle for a while while Omicron spreads and finally peaks. It’s sad that anybody suffers delays or postponement of meeting up with loved ones. But unfortunately that is the reality we face. As for the poster worried about flying, the issue is less about catching something on the plane, as they have Hepa filters. The bigger problem is being in the crowds at the terminal itself. We take antiseptic wipes and hand gel and use it appropriately and of course wear our masks. We hope everybody gets to catch up with family, stays safe and has a great Xmas and New Year.
