CPrim 2023
So I finally managed to plan my year this weekend and booked my flights to Oviedo (September 15) and from Santiago (September 30). Yay
Pre-Covid this would have been it. But is it just me, or does everything travel related still seem complicated and processes clumsy?
1. I booked via one of the larger platforms and got my flights back confirmed instantly, but my September 15 flight to Oviedo is still waiting for confirmation. Also I realised that prices have gone up a lot and that there are by far less possible connections. I will travel from one tiny place (home) to another tiny place (Oviedo) and most booking platforms would not even find connections.
EDIT: Just got the flights it confirmed NOW
2. I am of course nervous if there will be restrictions still in place or new restrictions established by the time I want to travel. Over here in Sweden the pandemic is not a big thing anymore. All got back to normal. But Spain seems to be quite different in that respect.
3. Should I try to get a third shot? I have had Covid right in the beginning of this mess and have been vaccinated twice since and the two Omicron variants are having a big party among my local friends while I do not get infected at all (no matter how hard I try ... no, kidding, of course not trying but it is really impossible not to be exposed to it right now). So technically I have a high level of immunity and there is not need for any further vaccination. But then again travel restrictions might require it ...
Sigh ... I miss those days when travel was super-easy – although in principle I do not like to travel by plane for ecological reasons. But I hardly ever fly. Trying to put aside my flight-shame just for my Caminos.
Well, this reads like a rant now ... but I guess it was intended just as a planning update spammed into this group ;-)
