Allow international couples to be added to the exempt flight list
Allow international couples the right to fly before 17th May or as soon as possible, as an exempt and legal reason to travel internationally. In order for relationships to be maintained, adapt the exemption list to reflect this and authorise as a valid reason to fly.
Relationships are essential and not tourism, many of us have not seen our partners for a number of months and potentially for many more. International travel is the only means of seeing each other. If travel is safe for business then travel for international couples should be allowed in line with safety, testing and quarantine rules, as applicable. Make travel legal for international couples. Love isn’t tourism or a holiday, it’s essential for mental/physical health and wellbeing.
