Chaos on departures. Ryanair passengers were not released by vaccination on board a flight to Sweden
The information on Ryanair’s website about the conditions of the trip to Sweden differs from the information on the local government’s website.
Although air traffic is slowly returning to normal in terms of the number of flights, passengers still have a sudden check-in situation when their holiday plans may end at the airport.
Barbora Janečková, who was about to fly with Ryanair to Gothenburg, Sweden, was convinced of that yesterday. Although she had confirmation that she had been vaccinated, she did not leave, as did about twenty other passengers. We have been waiting for Ryanair to comment since yesterday morning.
Janečková met the condition that she was vaccinated with two doses of the vaccine, including at least two weeks after the second injection. But she didn’t have a test. “Without a test or a great warning about a mandatory test, in addition to the covid passport, they checked us in, loaded us, then changed the rules and pulled the suitcases back. There was no opportunity to test myself on the spot, the willingness to deal with the three young men of weak reason and great arrogance was zero,“Janečková described at Facebook.

On Ryanair website the obligation to have a test is stated, at the same time there is a reference to Swedish government website. On the contrary, they state that if he has a certificate of completion of vaccination, that is enough for him. “They are referring to rules that are nowhere to be found. You’re not going anywhere. Nobody is here. We only have our Dot on our mobile. Very concise“Janečková wrote.
The airport recommends a careful check of the conditions
Handling companies at Václav Havel Airport solve problems with the validity of a certificate or test or the fulfillment of conditions for entry into the destination country practically every day. The reason is the constantly changing conditions of individual countries.
Prague Airport spokeswoman Kateřina Pavlíková recommends that passengers always find out the current conditions not only for which years, but also for their return. “If you need to present an entry form or a certificate of vaccination, negative test or illness, you should prepare everything before traveling to the airport. At the same time, we recommend having all documents in English and ideally printed, or even in an electronic version. It is also important to read the instructions of the airline and travel agency. Checking the conditions of entry into the country is checked with travel documents and luggage before departure at the check-in counters, so the whole process is now longer. Passengers should be at the airport on time, at least three hours before departure,She added.
