LONDON, UK — Throughout the pandemic, airline passengers have been exposed to ever-changing rules to help prevent the spread of coronavirus. As Covid restrictions are relaxing worldwide, particularly in the UK, many are confused about what regulations still prevail or have been removed during air travel as rules differ from country to country or company to company.
British Airways
British Airways no longer demands its passengers to wear a face mask during their flights within England and for flights to - from Wales as those countries completely removed Covid restrictions. But as an international airline, British Airways wants to ensure its passengers continue to comply with local restrictions and meet the requirements of the destination countries.
