Gosh, thank you for the prompt second post clarifying. We are flying Air France from Sydney to Paris at the end of March. Reading your first post, I let out an audible gasp! Was about to call out to my French husband with this development. But, crisis averted - for nowI hate replying to my own post but...
Within the past 10 mins I received a correction email from Air France regarding entry requirements. The additional steps of quarantine, pressing need to travel, etc are for NON-Vacced folks.
I opened the 2 emails side by side to double check and it was a type

We are optimistic. And it’s been more than two years since seeing daughters and grandchildren so our ‘pain and risk’ threshold is probably a little different to some.Watching the data out of South Africa and the UK, my guess is things will calm down long before March.

That's a pity Malachiuri. I would have been very interested to follow your winter Camino. My wife and I finished the Frances on 6 Dec. There were a few challenging days (in terms of open bars) but had no problems securing suitable accommodation. The only 'wintry' conditions encountered was in the O Cebreiro region...certainly we didn't hit anything that would put me off walking in the deeper winter period. I hope your plans for later this year hold up. I thought leaving StJPdP in late October was absolutely marvelous....fall colour was a particular highlight.Well, it is official. We had to cancel our Jan/Feb camino. I received an email from Air France stating that starting 2 Jan, France will require pressing need for travel, a 10 day quarantine, a neg test, etc to enter France. As of yet I have not seen this posted on the French govt website, but it makes sense. Just too much to deal with for a vacation, would just be silly.
While we decided to postpone our plans about a week ago, that email made it all official.
Rescheduling for Oct/Nov! Lets hope for the best!
Cheers,

Me too! I had the same reaction. I'm due to fly into Paris April 5th. Glad its not as first written, thanks for clarifying.Gosh, thank you for the prompt second post clarifying.

I sure hope you do get to see them soon. Hugs!We are optimistic. And it’s been more than two years since seeing daughters and grandchildren so our ‘pain and risk’ threshold is probably a little different to some.
Biting nails that a May Camino with a late April prequil will be set to go on schedule. I'm flying in and out of Paris on Air Tahiti Nui in and out LAX. No word yet from the carrier.Well, it is official. We had to cancel our Jan/Feb camino.

I'm not sure the Fall will provide much, if any relief from protocols; don't let that stop you when you're ready! Wishing you a healthy and happy 2022...While it is possible for the 3 of us since we are all triple vaxed, we have decided against the trip till fall. A Camino is hard enough without dealing with health passes, testing, etc.
I spent Sept of this year in France and it was pleasant as usual, all the added stress kinda dulled my yearly vacation in Dinan.

What I have seen on the forum is that people who originally thought they would wait till ”covid was over” are now gradually realizing that it is not likely to be “over” in our lifetimes. Now it’s a question of how everyone sorts out their individual levels of acceptable risk and social responsibility. As you say, @aloha, there will surely be some protocols in place for a long time to come, but we just can’t predict what they will be.I'm not sure the Fall will provide much, if any relief from protocols; don't let that stop you when you're ready!

Oh, don’t worry, I feel optimistic that I will go, and I feel optimistic that Omicron will be under control, but I think that global vaccination is still a long way off, so more variants seem, according to what I read anyway, to be likely. I think more and more of us are accepting the likelihood/possibility that we will have a new, milder virus that will be endemic and that will stick around. But hopefully it won’t kill us off in large numbers.I feel people that have tickets for April/May or later should feel optimistic.
I am not clear that this is what is happening.What I have seen on the forum is that people who originally thought they would wait till ”covid was over” are now gradually realizing that it is not likely to be “over” in our lifetimes.
