That would be a repatriation flight via the US and yes I would think that is always an option. I have not heard anything else.
John the latest from BA is that they are going to try to resume on August 2nd, but subject to loads, 2 fpw Gatwick to Punta Cana. Iberia is 4 fpw (Sat, Mon, Tue and Thurs ex Madrid, Sun, Tue, Wed and Fri ex SDQ). The loads on the Iberia look OK for today ex SDQ, about 50% full. There is good Avios redemption availability on the Iberia at the moment in both Business and Economy.
I eventually deciphered that "fpw" means "flights per week", but "Avios redemption availability" is still a mystery.
So, i did get on the PUJ- ZHR flight---- a regular flight not a repatriation flight. Nearly full, 220 passengers. Operated by Edelweiss but had to go through Swiss for the ticket.
Connections were possible, as usual, to wherever in europe.
Masks were mandatory on the PUJ-ZHR, but only recommended once in europe.
I would say a third of passengers on my ZHR-GVA did not wear masks.
0 checks on arrival.
The shit list is a small list of countries from which arrivals are subjected to self-isolation, starting on the 06th of july.
The US and the DR are on that list.

Has BA returned to Gatwick? They ended operations there.
British Airways still has suspended all operations to and from London Gatwick Airport (LGW). While the U.K. flag carrier is based out of London’s biggest airport, Heathrow (LHR), it historically has used LGW as a secondary base.
All remaining BA London flights have been consolidated to Heathrow Terminal 5. The carrier has ceased operations at London City Airport (LCY), which remains closed, but plans to reopen by the end of June.
I have done this route a couple of times. I just wonder how smoothly it goes now with Covid-19 precautions on top of security precautions and immigration and traveling in the ESTA program. I have either stayed in UK after Heathrow or travelled further on to Denmark.
No quarantine if you are leabving
You can stay in UK for a week or so... then leave
Stay at an address you give on entry....
You mean if I am in transit in UK and travel onto Denmark no quarantine obviously but what do you mean with the week stay in UK ?
You can stay as long (or as short) as you like - as I understand it
Example -
you arrive -give the address of your stay (becomes your quarantine location)
If you choose to leave after x number of days to fly out - so be it
I read this in the UK papers.... residents were angry that tourists had more flexibility

BA is going to operate from Gatwick from August onwards evidently.
It's a way of paying for flights using miles, BA and Iberia call their miles Avios. There is limited availability for redemption tickets on flights, for example BA has very few seats available but Iberia has good availability at the moment.
Was wondering how IB is handling Covid. With AA packing the plane imagine IB is too and their website and booking on it suck.
I don't think the loads on Iberia are bad, at least judging from the seat maps for today's flights. Maybe about 2/3rds full if that. But hardly anything to eat or drink in a 9 hour flight really sucks.
