Has anyone been out of the UK and back yet and filled in one of the Entrance forms for Covid yet? It seems to be online rather than a printed copy.
 
I'm currently abroad and you need to complete the online form just before you return, max 48hrs. An email is returned to you upon completion, which you can print or just show your phone. The Spanish system sends you a QR code to be scanned on arrival. Very simple and quick for Spanish entry and I hope it's the same for the UK, but they also want track n trace along with contact details of eho us going to do your shopping during quarantine!

Thanks for the reply. The Spanish /French versions are available on paper and are basically asking where you will be for 14 days. Is the UK version the same? As it seems online only.
 
Pretty much the same. Both initially online forms which can be submitted for a return QR code, this code has the same information as the printed version and has the advantage of confirming your previously submitted electronic form. Using the printed and written form only will slow down your exit from the airport whilst they log your details into the central computer system. The QR for me took less than a second for me to be let through, you can either use the QR from your phone screen or print it out.

All the Govt promised checks before being allowed to fly from Manchester airport like temperature scan etc and revised boarding procedures along with sanitizing the aircraft, didn't happen. Told to go straight through to security then board when told, usual boarding free for all whilst the arriving passengers left from the rear of the aircraft. Spain was much better organised with temperature scans etc and not letting anyone inside the arrivals area, carpark only. Móstoles where I am, is currently around 40c day after day and sleep is not easy.
 
Curious how they implement track and trace if you do not have a mobile, or is that a requirement?
 
You have to give your address, phone numbers, landline and or moby, email address along with contact details of someone that will be supporting you during quarantine. Giving less details prolongs your escape from the airport and possibly detainment. Not looked at the system since early July though and not due to fill out the rest until nearer the return date.
 
The same, I left the UK when all was open. Not looking forward to the return in late August except to formalise my retirement date. :D
 
On average I usually travel abroad 10-15 times a year through a combination of work and play. I have zero, nada, nil desire to get back on a plane :lol:
