I’m in Spain for a flight with the Minister of Tourism & the UN World Tourism Organisation. I flew DUB-AMS-MAD with @KLM. Here are some things I noticed.
In @DublinAirport there are hand sanitizers everywhere. In all airports there are screens everywhere.

Social distancing could be better in Dublin & Madrid but was excellent in Amsterdam. Everyone is wearing masks. Cabin crew check that your mask is on at all times except when eating. You will not get away with not wearing a mask in the airport or on a flight.
Even with all the signs & audio reminders & staff giving instructions, people will still do what they have always done. It is going to take a while before the whole physical distancing thing is natural to us.
In Madrid airport, there are temperature checks & you have to fill in a health form.
Overall, the airport and flying experience were very positive and felt very safe. But it is up to individuals to follow the guidelines and be mindful of others.

EVERYONE wears a mask in Spain. €100 fines if you don’t. Even walking around the streets you must wear a mask. You will not get away with not wearing a mask here. You don’t have to wear one whilst eating but you have to but it on when you go inside to pay/use the bathroom.
Wearing a mask in 37-degree heat is not pleasant. It doesn’t feel like a ‘holiday atmosphere’ but maybe it will be different in The Canaries where I am off to next.
Hotel room has all the extras removed. No coffee maker, no mini bar, no magazines, remote control covered in plastic. But there was a buffet. Some stations were help yourself & some behind screens with a server. I think this is good & might reduce food waste.
For anyone who wants to see more, I’m covering the trip over on my Instagram stories. https://www.instagram.com/_maymelanie/ ">https://www.instagram.com/_maymelan... including my Covid testing.
