You left out the biggest part of the story ….. not just COVID19 normal either ….

But to my disbelief, the United Kingdom is dropping every last Covid-19 restriction out there this week, including travel, and UK airlines have agreed to follow suit. 

From the 18th of March, masks will no longer be required on flights bound for the UK, or to any destinations which no longer require them. Heathrow has also dropped its masking requirement.

Muh... No vaccine requirements or testing on arrival, but still requiring covid insurance to enter. Given VNs rise in daily infections, your biggest risk at the moment is a clean PCR/ATK test to get out to your home country.
