COVID, CHRISTMAS & MALLORCA
Cathy Matos says……
COVID, CHRISTMAS & MALLORCA
To all my friends and travel colleagues in Mallorca, I wish you a belated
Happy New Year
I hope the Three Kings Brought you many good surprises.
Sadly, we were unable to travel to “my Island “for the Three Kings this year… So, no presents for me!!!
EASY JET As usual were extremely efficient in moving flights without charge. They have been very good throughout the Pandemic.
I would also like to give a mention to VUELING. We were due to travel Palma/Paris for my birthday. So again, another airline who have immediately issued a refund voucher.
Always in the background throughout all this is good old TUI, how staunch and reassuring this company have been. We were due to fly with them to Mexico when all this “horror” began, in March 2020
So now let me say “Hello” to some of my dear friends and colleagues of the Spanish Travel Industry!

Mallorca is handling this Pandemic so efficiently. No one is allowed to enter the country unless resident and with a Covid test (72 hours) and believe me they stick to that rigidly.
There is a curfew between 10pm and 6am which is also adhered to. So even though it affects my travel plans. Full marks to Spain for trying so hard.
Please look out for my Mexico update. Meanwhile, to quote the wonderful Simon Calder; I am what he calls “A real human travel agent”!! Not a machine…. So, you can talk to me and ask me anything ref: all of the above!!
