• Is it weird that the country is in "lock-down" but the airports seem to be in business as usual? Or is it too late for anything to happen at the borders now as it's already everywhere?

    I flew into Gatwick on Tuesday (having been traveling for ~40 hours surrounded by coughing/sniffly people); got to Gatwick & there was a small table in the corner of the immigration hall with some sanitiser on it & a poster of "Don't spread it" but nothing else. No questions asked about prior trips (Italy, China etc...), no screening, no forms or information handed out. This is a stark contrast to Auckland, Bali & Dubai which all had lots of announcements, social distancing markers, temperature scanners etc...

  • I don't think airlines think it's 'business as usual', see this video for example...

    .

    And living under one of Heathrow's flight paths, I can definitely say it's been awfully (blissfully?) quiet these last few days...
