  Re the PCR test with the hotel stay – if they follow the Australian system, they will likely require a negative test before being released from the hotel

  I would be careful about getting a test if you don’t actually need it (and aren’t symptomatic). It’s possible you will pick up old non-viable virus (if you did catch it on your travels), but the positive result will mean you have to do a further 10 days quarantine.
  Please do get a test if you have symptoms.

    sort of agree but if you’ve just taken a pre flight PCR and its negative its possible your new positive is real

  Hi Rob. Sadly the “ Three months of the FT (six days per week) for £50, reduced to £25” offer is not available outside the FT delivery area (the voucher alternative is not possible)

    Vouchers are available in certain regions.

  That Novotel is poorly managed. It was okay when they opened but went downhill quickly. No status recognition as ALL Platinum, constantly long queues at the tiny check-in counter etc.

  I’m not staying there anymore. Not sure how much choice you have when it comes to quarantine hotels, but for normal stays, there are superior options at LHR.

    They can’t spell “accommodation” either.

  Do you know if will I be awarded nights credit (and points?) in hotels’ frequent travellers programmes for such quarantine stays? I imagine Marriott / Hilton might also offer such packages in the future.

    I assume it depends on whether the Government takes over the hotel (and is therefore effectively taking your money, not the hotel) or whether the Government expects you to check into a standard hotel and just keep your head down. Probably the latter!

  A shame that the FT offer wasn’t publicised a week ago; probably the best use (imo) was the Digital subscription for £129 for one year.

  Expensive “just for website access”, but quality journalism and a lot cheaper than the standard rate!

  +1 vote for the FT Weekend deal. Picked it up speculatively a while back. The quarterly subscription then timed with previous offer 👍. It’s now the only newspaper I will read.
  Perfectly happy keeping it after I ditched the amex plat.
