  1. We flew in from Birmingham with jet2 last night landing at 7.35 and apart from a small but acceptable delay at passport control as we were all British passports all went well. Clearly having properly uploaded vaccinations certificates on Madeira safe meant a simple flow through the dark green channel and following a validation by a nurse with the QR codes we were away in our pre booked taxi. We were checked in and in our apartment at Savoy Palace before 9pm. Interesting though when we went out at 9.30 there was a queue at check in for those that had come by transfers and around 10 there was a jet2 coach dropping off at the Casino park hotel so clearly people had to wait for the idiots who were not properly prepared with their documents.
    Looking forward to a restful 2 weeks with the added bonus of the rearranged flower festival.

    1. Jill , you’re still more likely to come into contact with an unvaccinated Covid contact in your local tesco than on yesterday’s flight statistically. Of course none of us vaccinated folk really know if we have a mild case of Covid when traveling and was surprised there was no thermal screening at either airport. However walking around Funchal this morning it was great to see things are returning to near normal and masks being worn in town center and obligatory In all shops. We have to be able to live with Covid now with most vaccinated people only having mild if any symptoms and if unvaccinated people want to risk worse infections or death then that is their right but hope it doesn’t prevent other health services operating optimally

        1. Thanks for confirming where thermal device was. I suspected the ‘camera’ looking down towards us was it.

      2. Roger, A mild case of covid for the vaccinated folk? Vaccinated people are dieing!! No one is covid proof it seems wake up man.

        1. Yes Johnny vaccinated people are dying but the chances are vastly less than the unvaccinated and that is a fact. If you are antivax what to you want ? Total lockdown?

        2. check how many are dying, day in, day out, of all sorts of illnesses and conditions, compare with the minuscule chance of dying from Covid after two jabs and get on with your life.

            1. Well said get on with life? walk around with masks full restrictions wait for the 3rd 4th and 5th jab and wait to die.

                1. I am not stopping you living Simon ? Enjoy if the 3rd 4th 5th dose! does not finish you off ? Nothing to do with me enjoy your life.

  3. Sounds as is everything is going well. I should have been on yesterday’s flight from Edinburgh but had a mild stroke three weeks ago so had to reschedule for later on in the year.

  4. Arlehne we were booked on same flight yesterday but not allowed on flight as we didn’t have Madeirasafe QR code on phone. I have a problem with it which Madeira said they would sort out for me on arrival. I showed this e.mail exchange to operatives at the gate but they refused to let us on plane. I had a 160 mile round trip to drive home – more driving than I like to undertake in one day at my age. I don’t know how I have avoided a stroke with all the stress. No-one makes allowances for elderly people not being familiar with or educated in modern technology. I do hope you make a speedy recovery and have someone to assist with all the Jet2 requirements, not Madeiran requirements….!

    1. So sorry for your problem. We took advice from people on Facebook and printed everything out before we left home.

  5. We fly with Jet2 on 4th October filled in all details on Madeira safe but not rec’d qr code yet if not rec’d is it jet2 policy to not let you fly we have read that qr code is sometimes late in being recd

    1. You should see your QR code, it might not be validated yet, but it shouldn’t worry Jet2 all they nerd see is that you filled in the details on Madeira Safe.

  6. I have vaccination certificates printed but Jet2 insisted madeirasafe details were on QR code.
    I have managed to download certificates on pdf and transferred to form, took me most of this morning! Help coming on Thursday to assist with the QR code aspect. My further education has been traumatic but I hope we are prepared for flight this Monday! Incidentally, Jet2 request madeirasafe and Passenger locator form but when I click on that, it takes me to madeirasafe so hopefully it is all contained in the one form….! None of this required by Madeira, I may say!

    1. OK you can tell Jet2 you need no locator form you are not travelling to mainland Portugal, all you need is to fill in the Madeira safe, and double vaccination. You need no tests or anything.
