As much as I would like to take private Jet, I will in all all honesty say I posted my statement without viewing the policy statement of said airline and Hugh was right to catch me.
The statement though is ambiguous.
They state masks must be worn in all the airports they operate from. But the airport (East Mids) do not state that, masks are optional within the airport.
So, I’ll wait to see what the policy is on the plane and I’ll report back the reality of the situation.
But if previous experience prevails, you may have to wear a mask until you sit down and order a drink, then you can remove your mask, which makes the whole thing pointless anyway.
I’ll let you know!
I suspect cabin crew will ask nothing of nobody or if they do in their garb not enforce anything, but I will advise.
In any event 5 days away and 4 golf courses, I don’t really give a give a shit.

Re: Coronavirus
And now I’m here, I can report that no masks were required in the airport. I did wear a mask to board the plane which I put on at the steps of the aircraft. I sat down and took it off after take off and was not asked to put it on by any cabin crew.
I then put it back on to alight the plane.
So, policy yes, enforced?………. Not really, which just highlighted the pointlessness of it.

Well let’s be honest they’re asking for people to act in good faith. Which some people will and others won’t, citing anti-mask conspiracies or faking disabilities. It’s ultimately not worth the hassle for how low paid most airport staff and cabin crew are to listen to someone shout on about their rights and freedoms.

Re: Coronavirus
This sounds interesting.

AstraZeneca (AZN.L) has requested emergency approval from U.S. regulators for its antibody cocktail, the first protective shot other than vaccines against COVID-19, another potential major step in the global fight to combat the virus.
While vaccines rely on an intact immune system to develop targeted antibodies and infection-fighting cells, Astra's biotech compound known as AZD7442 contains lab-made antibodies designed to linger in the body for months to contain the virus in case of an infection.

That's interesting as my experience to date (5 flights) is that cabin crew were pretty tight on it and there were also announcements from the flight deck about wearing masks, making wearing a legal requirement rather than a policy.
Which airline was it?

Jet 2, the return flight may be a different experience.

Re: Coronavirus
In my case, no masks required at LHR (unless I missed the sign), masks enforced on the Austrian Airlines 'plane and at Vienna Airport.
In Vienna city, PCR tests are available outside the various main railway stations, free of charge, with result notified by email within 24 hours. All you need is a Vienna address (which we had).

Do you know where the facemask sign is at Terminal 2, LHR?
