Covid mask rules relaxed for EU air travel

This is echoing similar easing of mask rules in other parts of the world. We still had on masks earlier this week for the South Africa-to-England flight (required, although many people failed to fully comply), and kept them on for the England-to-USA flight home. With negative test results no longer required some places (which are a greater burden than sporting a mask at the airport and onboard), some countermeasure still feels helpful, and still wearing a mask wasn’t such a big deal. Maybe things are looking up in the EU, so the revised policy just reflects that.

Even more so, I’m keeping a close eye on the easing of the exchange rate of the euro vs. the dollar - now just $1.04 to the euro, as of this morning!

Yes, I read the same thing. Very excited we’re flying to Italy on May 19th.
