Summary
I’m speaking to you from a Ryanair Boeing 737 which is shortly landing at Faro airport in Portugal, after a two-and-a-half hour flight from London. I’ll talk you through the travel experience.
I paid £25 for my flight and Ryanair has just announced a loss of £700m. Could the two things be connected?
And bets on the changes in the quarantine-free “green list” – when and where?
