Jet2 Scotland to Canaries


Booked my holiday in January before all this hit; it's flights only.
I'm in a tier 3 area and Glasgow Airport is in a tier 4. Scottish government guidance says not to travel between tiers for anything non essential (and notes that going on holiday isn't a reasonable excuse). It specifically says 'By Law' you shouldn't travel outside your region.
I contacted Jet2 as I have a holiday booked and they have offered to move it, which is fine but unfortunately i lose my discount. Ideally, i would like to cancel and get a refund but this relaly doesn't seem possible. How is it Jet2 are still operating flights when the Scottish Government have said no travel? Ideally I want Jet2 to cancel the flights but i know that won't happen, i just don't understand why they are still operating.
thanks in advance.

https://www.gov.scot/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-guidance-on-travel-and-transport/#internationaltravelPeople who live in a Level 3 or 4 local authority area in Scotland are now required to stay in that area unless they have a reasonable excuse to travel, such as work, education, or welfare reasons – see travelling around Scotland.
Going on holiday, including abroad, is not a reasonable excuse to leave a level 3 or 4 area. If it has been announced that your local authority area is about to move into either Level 3 or 4 please do not then travel overseas for non-essential reasons such as a holiday. Those who are already overseas can continue with their holiday or travel as planned.

The OP obviously didn't realise the differences between the different levels in Scotland in terms of Airport access.
It's not a blanket ban as they were suggesting.0
