  • As said, there's no way to prove it came from hotel. Better luck on your next trip.

    I know for sure it was not at the airport because I did not start being ill until we’d left the airport after the max incubation period if 48 hours, but because of the length of the flight it could have been on the plane. I worked that bit out whilst lying in the room for 10 days.


    What about in the airport on arrival or travelling to the hotel.?

    Yes, as you said you were just unlucky, you mentioned that you made a claim on your travel ins so it might be best to just move on. It will be stressful to try to claim as you can't prove anything. Just bad luck, glad you're ok now
