  Strange- can’t book the Ibiza property still says IHG rewards not applicable

  How will Jersey determine where I’ve been living? In my case I’ve been living the past 6 months in a green area but my home address where my ID is registered to and all my post goes (which I visit weekly but not staying over at) is in an orange. I’m guessing I’ll be tarnished with the orange brush regardless.

    “Tarnished with the orange brush” – there is always Newcastle- you will fit right in

    You fill in a declaration before you arrive and they categorise you based on that, so if you’ve been staying in a green area you’d be fine.

    • 1ATL says:

      24 Apr24 April 07:45

      So it’s based upon self declaration and how I answer rather than being asked to prove it? In which case won’t most people in red/orange areas just try it on with a different area? Or is there a fine to keep in mind? I’m just being mindful of the fact if probed further regarding my declaration I’ve got no document proof of being based where I’ve been for the last 6 months.

        There’s no requirement for documentary proof, but a large criminal penalty if someone was discovered to be giving false evidence (and Jersey has a habit of enforcing its laws strictly). But if you’ve stayed in a green region for the relevant period I wouldn’t worry at all about being interrogated at the airport.

    1ATL, Jersey wont determine where you’ve been living, but if you cant remember yourself either (lay of the booze) post some description’s and we’ll try to help you find where you’ve been living
    I looked around my flat but couldn’t see you so it wasn’t here lol

  If I travel from Newquay with BA, do I need my passport? It expired in December and I’m not bothering renewing it until I book something to go abroad.

  • 1ATL says:

    24 Apr24 April 07:38

    BA don’t require any photo ID on domestic flights. Even for checking in a bag, a debit or credit card is sufficient so long as the name matches the reservation. The problem at Newquay is the BA handling agent is a law into themselves and demand all sorts of things that BA don’t require them to see. One of these being an in date government issued photo ID. If your passport is out of date then take something else such as a driving license with your photo on it. If you don’t have anything then I’d probably not bother flying from Newquay.

    • Matty says:

      24 Apr24 April 07:48

      I have the old style driving licence. Although, I thought even with a photograph that it wasn’t an official ID document.

      • 1ATL says:

        24 Apr24 April 08:45

        Hence me saying Newquay Airport being a law into themselves

          Cheers. Sounds terrible. I’ll give it a miss.

  • Anna says:

    24 Apr24 April 07:42

    No – generally they just ask for photo ID on domestic routes so, e.g., a driving license would suffice.

  What do u think the likelihood of ihg uk free cert will be usable at six senses in the future?

  • Ken says:

    24 Apr24 April 08:33

    Nil

    • kitten says:

      below zero

  • Anna says:

    24 Apr24 April 08:34

    If Mr & Mrs is anything to go by, then very unlikely!

    • YC says:

      24 Apr24 April 08:56

      To be slightly more optimistic – SS brand was bought by IHG vs Mr/Mrs Smith is just a partnership

      • Chrisasaurus says:

        24 Apr24 April 10:43

        Still nil.

• Craig says:

  24 Apr24 April 08:35

  Any experience of the Sim Senses Uluwatu? It’s currently 60k a night as opposed to the IC Bali which is 35k, is it worth the extra?

  • Craig says:

    24 Apr24 April 08:43

    Six Senses, doh.

  • Michael C says:

    24 Apr24 April 08:55

    Not been to SS, but they’ll both undoubtedly be spectacular.
    Difference for me is Uluwatu is more remote, so you won’t really be “popping out” to local eateries, etc. But lots of people love the remote!

    • Craig says:

      24 Apr24 April 08:58

      I’ve stayed at the IC before which we loved. Hopefully have 16 nights in Bali early next year, 10 nights at the Conrad and 6 at the IC os SS?

      • Michael C says:

        24 Apr24 April 09:10

        Wowww, spectacular trip – impossible to go wrong!
        I’ve seen day-passes (with minimum FB spend) at SS in the past, if that makes any difference!

        • Craig says:

          24 Apr24 April 09:23

          Thanks, I’ll see how it pans out and how the IHG stash builds up this year.

  What about Guernsey, are they still sealed off?

  • Guernsey Globetrotter says:

    24 Apr24 April 09:15

    At the moment the minimum self-isolation period is 7 days after which you can be ‘freed’ on a negative test ( from some areas it is still 14 days!) so not really viable for tourists still. Guernsey has been a lot more conservative than Jersey in its approach to COVID management.

    • Alex Sm says:

      24 Apr24 April 10:54

      Gosh… we have a booking for August moved from last August when flights were cancelled but the hotel said “we don’t care, we ARE open”. The most I got from them is to move my booking to August 2021 which now seems to be in jeopardy again

      • DWB1873 says:

        24 Apr24 April 22:06

        “All of us islanders” is not quite true. A substantial number, rightly or wrongly, aren’t keen on travel re-opening. I also know some Jersey people who too are unsettled by Jerseys approach. Cant please all of the people all of the time.

        As it stands, Guernsey will unlock by mid July. So an August trip should be fine – but it all depends on what happens in the U.K.

        Based on current numbers and last summer, looking pretty promising.

  IOM is reopening fully on 28 June. Between now and then there is a transition period

• Sam G says:

  24 Apr24 April 09:21

  Such granularity is pretty ridiculous, I live in one LA area and don’t really interact with anyone else here. My office is in London, my local shops in another county, my gym is in another LA and most of my local and friends and family are in yet another! But they could all be red/Amber but as long as my house was green I’m apparently safe 😂

  • Anna says:

    24 Apr24 April 11:28

    Exactly – according to this you could live in a green area and work on a covid ward in a hospital and you’d be ok, but if you live in a red area and haven’t left your house for 2 weeks, you wouldn’t!

    • geoff says:

      24 Apr24 April 17:10

      And you can be from a green area but travel on an aircraft full of red dwellers – you get tested on arrival, by which time you won’t have started to show positive, and then incubate it nicely over the next few days on the island.
