My View by Lisa Minot, Head of Travel
THE jet set are back in their favourite haunts, chilling beside Italian infinity pools, sipping champagne in Ibiza and soaking up the spectacular sunsets on party isle Mykonos.
It’s been a long two years of pandemic-ravaged travel disruption and now the A-listers can get back to their chic villas and 5H penthouse suites without the worry of tests, form filling and more.
For the US-based celebrities it’s the first time they’ve been able to travel over here without all the tedious pandemic admin.
And for the Brits, with the chaos at our airports over the past few weeks, a short hop to Europe’s sun-soaked beaches is preferable to hours spent on long-haul flights with the risk their Louis Vuitton luggage won’t make it.
Our stars are yearning for their traditional haunts – just like the rest of us.
The pandemic pause has us desperate to return to our favourite destinations.
And with the celebrities giving us a glimpse of their idyllic breaks, we’ll be even more excited to return, too.
