Britons planning to travel to the US when restrictions are lifted from next month “may wish to wait” for further details on how vaccine checks will be introduced on arrival.
..if you wait too long you might miss all the flights, but this is why the SP has not opened up this morning... nothing to do with any scaremongering going on here as per usual..
Foreign Office urges ‘wait and see’ approach to US travel return
The message came in latest Foreign Office travel advice issued on Friday night.
The FCDO announcement came after the US confirmed that its border will be reopened to fully vaccinated travellers from the UK from November 8.
The updated FCDO advice said: “The US government announced on 15 October that it would lift travel restrictions starting from 8 November for foreign citizens who are fully vaccinated with any Covid-19 vaccine approved for emergency use by the World Health Organisation or approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Yes SunD, we have had the news now just waiting for the events to kick in, lateral flow tests, the US opening... personally, l don't see any downside risk at this level...
all to be revealed on the 5th Nov, 3rd quarter Earnings release... nothing much will happen before then... ..l doubt very much a new CFO is dumped with an RI, l wouldn't take that job..!
“So Sad Makes you wonder what fills people's lives when they have to come on to a bb and post insults or complain about other people posting. Nothing constructive, just an endless list of people complaining about other people posting”

Nicholas Cadbury: he has a much wider background and is not a short-term fixer as he has been with Whitbread since 2012... If his payment plan includes shares which it no doubt will, then he can see the potential upside with IAG and has the experience to steer the company to achieve its maximum potential, as IAG looks secure at the moment forward planning has just had a major injection of confidence...
