This summer when the borders opened up some of our team<\/em> at Trafalgar HQ took to the skies for a long-awaited vacation or trip home to visit loved ones. We asked them to share their experiences travelling in summer 2021 \u2013 the good, the bad, and what it was like on the ground. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet Steve, our Head of Digital Engagement and a father of three. This summer the born-and-bred Londoner packed up his family and skipped over to Spain for a classic holiday with plenty of sunshine, sand and sangria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s what his journey to gorgeous Majorca was like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where did you go?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This year I was lucky enough to have two holidays. One to Greece and one to Spain. I\u2019m going to share my trip to Muro, which is south of Port d\u2019Alcudia in Majorca, Spain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who did you travel with?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

My family. There\u2019s 5 of us, so we travel-en-masse!  It was a classic family holiday. Beach, food, drink, repeat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Why did you choose to travel to Majorca?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I love Spain<\/a>, particularly the Balearics. It\u2019s so chic and chilled \u2013 I adore Ibiza. The Spanish are such wonderful, warm and friendly people too. We\u2019ve spent so many of our family holidays on the Greek islands<\/a>, so this time we wanted to see more of Spain. We chose to go to Majorca as I\u2019d only ever been to Palma, which is the most amazing cosmopolitan city, so it was great to go to a different side of the island and enjoy the quieter beach life for a change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How was it travelling there?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We travelled by air from London. We\u2019d flown back from Greece only a couple of weeks earlier, so we knew what to expect. Our experience of flying and airports this summer was extremely positive \u2013 we found airports emptier, much more organised and in general far less stressful than usual. There were less people around, there were no major queues, the health and safety protocols were really efficient and of course everything felt so clean and safe. There were less restaurants to choose from at the London airports as a lot were still closed (travelling with three children means food is always top of the airport agenda), but that was a very minor negative. I think the airports and airline industries have done a brilliant job bouncing back from the most terrible two years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you think it was easier to travel now than before the pandemic?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I think it\u2019s a smoother process. Things certainly felt less stressful than previously. Although I will say pre-departure is definitely more stressful \u2013 there are more forms, more tests etc. But once you\u2019re at the airport I found it easy. I would recommend anyone to travel and feel safe doing it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What was your favourite thing about travelling again?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It was SO GOOD TO BE AWAY! I\u2019m quite easily pleased so give me some sun, a great beach, amazing food and good wine and I\u2019m happy! That feeling of complete ease and relaxation you only get from holidays\u2026 I\u2019d missed that so much. And the thrill of meeting new people and experiencing new cultures, trying new foods, seeing new sights\u2026 it was just so great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What was it like in Majorca after the pandemic? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Majorca definitely felt quieter than I\u2019m sure it usually is in August, but there were still a lot of people out and about. Of course, there was a really happy, positive vibe around. It was so nice to see local restaurants, cafes and shops busy with customers \u2013 these businesses have had the most terrible two years so to see them full of customers and seeing people eating, drinking and laughing again felt quite emotional to watch! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did you feel like you could enjoy travel to the fullest? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Nothing could dampen my joy! I certainly enjoyed every second to the fullest. You just adapt and feel so happy to be away again that even the small changes \u2013 things like wearing masks and gloves to get your food in hotel restaurants are mandatory in Spain \u2013 aren\u2019t an issue. If wearing a mask to choose my food at a hotel buffet is all I have to do to enjoy the thrill of travelling again\u2026 it\u2019s a very small price to pay! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did you feel safe? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I felt completely safe. I think because the airport and aeroplane experience had been so easy, that I immediately felt confident for the rest of the trip. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What was your favourite moment or highlight of your trip?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Just to feel the sun on your skin, enjoy the beach, be in the Mediterranean Sea, see the look of sheer joy on my kids\u2019 faces running to the beach everyday\u2026 you forget how much a holiday means to people. It is so good for your mental health and wellbeing, just to be able to get away and switch off for a week or two or even just a few days.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did you feel like you were able to connect with the local culture and people? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We found the most amazing family-run tapas restaurant that was hidden away down a back street in Port D\u2019Alcudia. It was traditional tapas and totally authentic\u2026 a complete hidden gem. Eating out is my favourite part of being on holiday, so that was definitely a highlight. Wine, mussels, patatas bravas\u2026 what more could you ask for?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you could do it again next week, what would you change about your trip?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I wouldn\u2019t come home. Haha! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What was the most enjoyable or relaxing part of your trip?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019d actually completely undervalued how incredible the Mediterranean Sea is. It\u2019s warm, not too deep, the most amazing waves\u2026 and the beaches are just beautiful. The finest, most golden sand. So, to be able to enjoy that every day was definitely a highlight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What surprised you about traveling again?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Definitely how much easier the airport was than I was expecting. And that applies to both the English and Spanish sides. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

How did you feel after returning home?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We felt incredibly lucky to have been able to experience travel again as a family. I was definitely refreshed and reenergised\u2026 once I\u2019d gotten over the holiday blues of course!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anything else eager travelers should know?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Just that I would encourage anyone thinking about traveling to do it. It\u2019s such a great time to travel and so much less hassle than you are expecting. Take time to plan before you go \u2013 spend time making sure you\u2019ve got all your tests and forms and vaccines right \u2013 as that is definitely the most stressful part (but a million times worth it). Once you get to that airport and on the plane\u2026 you won\u2019t regret it for a second! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
