@sundezena, soon to be a recovery play with the red list being slashed today, South Africa tipped for removal as well IDKT, then the US...

Willie Walsh, director general of the International Air Transport Association, said “It’s notable that some countries, such as Ireland, have decided to abandon hotel quarantine altogether and we would urge the UK to do the same”.

Ba have have been very good about changing flights, I've changed mine 3 times, takes a few minutes online! Crossed fingersSA gets off red list today and I can fly next week!

..is he still posting, unbelievable, can someone tell him he is as useful as a one-legged man in an ass-kicking contest...

..are you still whispering poison BB..?

l cannot see your posts BB but l can only imagine..
here is a good quote for you

"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results" Albert Einstein

i.e. it could happen/it couldn't happen ..but not impossible

..the share price moved 10pts yesterday, shame not in one direction.. 10pt Thurs, 10pts Friday.. 200 by the end of the week is still possible without too much of a stretch of the imagination..
...like l said to BB once: it is dangerous to believe your own propaganda..!

..for me this is the next opportunity for a US opening date to be announced..

are you talking to me?

"it would be a good point in time to re-evaluate the US strategy:"
what l would have like to have said is that it would be a good time for him to open up the US internationally, but it was so way out and nowhere on the horizon so l put it like that,
..don't read too much into it, like l said it is in the tea leaves, i.e. l guessing, but that what l think..

l hinted at it last time... he is coming under a lot of pressure again from different directions and last time this was the easiest thing to do

RE: Boris to request opening up USA for travel20 Sep 2021 08:15
More pressure for Biden:
"Four U.S. senators on Friday asked President Joe Biden to lift restrictions that have barred travel by Canadians across the northern U.S. border since March 2020."

Although the extension is expected to be renewed, it would be a good point in time to re-evaluate the US stategey:
"U.S. officials and travel industry executives say the White House is set to renew the restrictions before the latest extension expires on Sept. 21."

l could personally see there would be more control allowing air passage than land crossings.
"We struggle to understand the public health rationale for the disparate treatment in modes of travel,"

Joe Biden is going to announce date soon...
... l can see it in the tea leaves...

"in accepting the inevitable, one finds peace."

one thing is certain the US opening is inevitable..

the next catalyst for the SP and the missing part of the puzzle is the confirmed US date for reopening...
we are getting to the territory of being about a month away from opening up from insider information Paul Charles..
could an announcement come any day?
Hotels in the New York and Los Angeles are banking on the return of overseas travellers, with The New York Hilton reopening its 1,878-room property in Midtown Manhattan yesterday...

..it could be a hedge, short this, long that...

the work the SP is doing now bodes well for the future putting in good support here, so it ain't all bad..
