Commuting between UK and Switzerland Hi there, I'm new to the Forum - my name is Steve and I live in Morges, Vaud. I started my job here in September 2020, and have a rented apartment. My family is in the UK so I planned to travel between the UK and Switzerland most weekends, or they would come to visit me. Of course it hasn't worked out that way and it is getting very difficult to travel at all now. I would love to hear from anyone else in this situation, share experiences, and see how you are managing :) |
Re: Commuting between UK and Switzerland I've cancelled 3 trips back to the UK in the last 10 months, and looking like I'll have to cancel April/May's too. Managed to see my family for 2 days in August, that's it and I'm totally losing the will to live :msncry: |

Re: Commuting between UK and Switzerland Same here, I was planning to travel back the UK most weekends when I started my contract here. Now there are no direct flights from Zurich-Manchester at all, the only UK flight seems to be weekly Zurich-Heathrow and that is over a grand. Hopefully Switzerland and the UK will be amongst the fastest vaccinating their populations so they can start flights again. It wouldn't be so bad if the bars were open. Spending 7 days a week in an aparthotel drinking aldi booze is getting to me now. :) |
Re: Commuting between UK and Switzerland Even if you can get a flight back to the UK, you would now have to quarantine in a hotel for 2 weeks at a cost of £1750 |

Re: Commuting between UK and Switzerland I think you only need to do the hotel quarantine if you're travelling from a country on the red list, which Switzerland isn't on: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/how-to-q...ive-in-england At the moment you have to quarantine for ten days, but it can be at a private home, and you need to take two tests. |
Re: Commuting between UK and Switzerland The quarantine country lists seem so random. I have a colleague who just came back from Argentina: in the UK you need to do hotel-quarantine, but in Switzerland you don't need to quarantine at all. |

Re: Commuting between UK and Switzerland The isolation continues to take its toll, physically and mentally. For the more well-read and up-to-date than me: is there any hint so far on when Swiss quarantine for people coming in from the UK will cease? I can’t seem to find any hint of an update on this. The rates in the UK are dropping like a stone... |
