| Dec 30, 2021 at 16:27 | comment | added | Hilmar | @MarkJohnson: Depends on how you define "Job". easyJet used to check Covid documentation diligently but they apparently stopped doing so (at least when I flew two weeks ago). Most airlines still do this (for example United's Travel Ready center) but I don't think there is legal requirement, but more of a business consideration: what's the cost of the extra support vs loss of revenue and frustrated passengers. | |
| Dec 30, 2021 at 16:23 | comment | added | Hilmar | @Kevin: I doubt it. Given my experience with easyJet two weeks ago, they don't care about Covid documentation any more. They wouldn't have such a lax attitude if there were significant fines involved. | |

| Dec 29, 2021 at 17:38 | comment | added | Crazymoomin | I think it's likely that anyone who booked a package will be able to sort out a refund or rebooking as covid guarantees are standard nowadays, and it would be bad publicity to refuse them. As for the return flight, that might be harder to recover though they could try with the travel provider. Easyjet might also cave even though it's not their responsibility, again due to publicity. | |
| Dec 29, 2021 at 15:09 | comment | added | Mark Johnson | Yes, I concur. During the Christmas day rush the airline probably failed to do its job correctly, which due to the short notice of the changes, was of greater importance to adhere to. | |
