Welcome back to another Flight Report & welcoming to a brand new edition for Covid-19 on today's report. We are celebrating today on travelling back to The Netherlands today with Easyjet after months of chaos during the lockdown.
Before we go into the report, all passengers are required to wear a face mask before you enter the airport terminal building & wash your hands from a sanitizer station. Fail to do so will refuse on travelling. Same goes for temperature checks upto 38 degrees or more.
Entering Gatwick, you are greeted by sanitizer station. I already carried one so it's better to use their stations.
Easyjet is home to self-service drop off baggage at Gatwick, at first I don't like to do it while Covid-19 is still active when using the touchscreens so make sure you use the sanitizer again.
Going through security is normal so the only different is social distancing up-to 2 meters (same for check-in). When arriving at the gate for all airliners, you need to scan your boarding pass yourself, show the gate agent your passport with your face mask off to make sure I'm the passenger to board. This also includes check-in at the desk.
Our aircraft operating by Easyjet UK. Originally my flight was mean't to be on 15th August on a Saturday instead, I was giving free flight to be pushed back to 14th August so got an extra day in Amsterdam. Easyjet has temporary stopped all Saturday service when I was emailed a couple of weeks ago. Aircraft we're heading to Amsterdam is a 12 year old Airbus A319 in new Easyjet livery delivered in May 2008.
Arriving in The Netherlands is somewhat different depending where you've traveled from recently. After going through passport control from the ePassport gate I've finally arrived in Amsterdam. This is a lucky one because, I arrived one day before quarantine between the UK-Netherlands started so I don't have to self isolate.
My overall rating:
Type of Travel: Non-Schengen flight outside the EU/EEA

Airside was pretty busy with lack of social distancing. This was taken after I passed security where it's somewhat calm. However, when eating Weatherspoon is super busy & long wait in the que. Other restaurants on the first floor Yo Sushi and Jamie's Italian, Starbucks etc are still closed.
Before we board the aircraft, we have to scan our boarding pass, remove my mask & show my passport the agent can't touch our passports. It does have face shielding. One negative from Easyjet is that speedy boarding passengers has temporary stopped due to the airline's Covid policy. When queuing to the aircraft via jet bridge, their is no social distancing which makes it impossible.

And so for the first time in seven months, I'm now back in the sky heading towards Amsterdam with a flight time only 40 minutes. After departing Gatwick, the clouds over the UK started to get stormy with this huge cloud you can see is avoidable through this airspace. Cabin crew did an amazing job when announcing about Covid-19 & serving drinks and duty free. While we're still at the Covid-19 pandemic all aircraft must be cleaned & fumigated however, I've spotted something that's gross on row 8A.
A huge stain that looks like chocolate. It look absolutely disgusting! it really needs to be super cleaned if Easyjet care's on people's lives in the pandemic.
We arrived in Amsterdam Schipol Airport early.
