Well well well. As I have maintained it looks like we are going in holiday this year!
Congrats to all that held through all the bashing on this share.
We now have dates to drive towards. There are still risks of course but there are with most things in life!
Take care
Seen talks with Greece are being made to discuss having Summer holidays.
I'm getting mine booked up now! Once one gets approved others will follow...
We're all going onna Summer Holiday la la Lalala laaaa

I read a message recently where someone stated an app update had happened. I expect they have made lots of improvements so will try to order again this week to see if it works.
My moonpig order came through on time. Though I have to say the Rose's were pants and expensive!
I think the swing could be much higher. Especially Inital drop I would expect straight down to 90p region as many will beleive there to be a risk of more funds needdd and also where their money could work harder for several months whilst they await updates on when flights will resume. In essence the drop will be brutal.
However with airline industry applying pressure and world wide economic recovery to take place the air space needs to open up.
There is no reason why it cant. There are quick tests available which can be used before flying. I think tests will be needed regardless of vaccination as you can still carry.
I dont expect travel to open immediately but in part some element of travel by end of Summer.
I'm still optimistic we will see people back in planes in 2021.
Before u delete one please check the Card factory app works. After buying in here I thought I would support them by downloading the app. Tried to order on several occasions but has never worked, not once.
My money went to moonpig
Card is in the doldrums. Boris is setting out a roadmap which I believe will be showing retail opening up within a month or two.
Everyone will go bonkers when shops open. Shorters have had their fun. Time for the bulls
Email sent.
Cheers and have a great weekend
Put me down as a small investor if possible? Little over 30k shares.
May I suggest WhatsApp or telegram group over email
Email a little old school now ??
I took a position in Ezj on the last dip as I too believe a quicker recovery at the time.
I now think there may be a possibility of opening the USA up earlier than parts of the EU due to their vaccination programme.
Having both bases covered suits me and the one that recovers quicker I will move to the other once I feel it hits its peak.
Bb - fair play. U at least say it how u are playing it and not using smoke and mirrors.
I am not selling as I see positive news coming anytime soon. If it doesnt then it is just a delay and I will hold out until recovery which will happen. I dont believe any further RI so happy to sit on my hands. If it dips I buy more.
And for those who kept saying people wont want to travel again for holidays;
Sky News spoke to the chief executive of Thomas Cook to find out what people's attitudes are to travel right now.
Alan French said that his firm are "still seeing bookings coming through", because "people are really anxious for and looking forward to a holiday".
He said that some are booking for this summer, but for those fearing travel might not be possible then, they are securing dates for October, winter 2021 and summer 2022 instead.
Asked what holidays are being booked, he said: "Turkey, Greece, Spain are still favourites.
"People are pushing the boat out for next winter. We are seeing Caribbean, Mexico and Indian Ocean being favourites for that.
"We are also seeing people booking later this summer, more in the October time frame than they have historically done."
Seems people are chomping at the bit to get away
Good job u are out the BB...
I'm going for earlier travel than that and I'm also going for government grants or even outright paying for any tests for two reasons. I) it's in their interest ii) to help the travel industry.
Cheers
Bb - it was announced in Jan that Denmark would delay the second jab. I believe 6- 8 weeks but cant remember.
Anyway back to IAG - blue again!
Added more today. Just seems to much of a gift this....
Hey BB,
I think you are right to sell as you clearly have reservations. I'm on the other side. I think the 12 weeks gap helps keep people out of hospitals and saves lives which is what this is about more than people flying.
Quite frankly I dont give two hoots about the vaccination passport as i believe flying will be addressed when priority says so. Right now concentrating on vaccinations which we are doing incredibly well comes first.
As more get vaccinated I'm of the opinion the SP will make up lost ground. The update from the government on the 22nd will be interesting and I guess will provide better times frames to flights.
I have already seen some countries saying they will welcome tourists in the Summer. Will the UK be allowed to travel so soon. Let's see....
BB.
Just to be clear you may need to check the facts rather than reading the media. Trials of the Oxfd-AZ vaccine did include different spacing between doses, finding that a longer gap (two to three months) led to a greater immune response.
By increasing the spacing also means you can reach a greater audiance and prevent people being hospitalised....
The decision is saving lifes. A no brainer. What's the issue??
I see they are talking about pubs reopening soon if they dont serve alcohol. Guess that's what the rise was about on Friday.
Next week should be Interesting
If you get to that stage surely the dividend repayments would be worth more to u that the interest on your mortgage !
Good luck in whatever u decide. I'm more short term trying to capitalise on the doldrums we are in and positive momentum that seems to be building for the travel industry.
