You really don’t think we tried to get our kids home before they closed the airport! After our 4th time changing the travel date, the “ Government” decided to close the airport, giving parents ONLY 2 days to get their kids home.

As a parent I totally agree that all should be quarantined at a disclosed location when they arrive on Island & tester thereafter!

Why didn’t these people come home two weeks ago when there were discussions about closing the airport? Were they on vacation? CLOSED should mean CLOSED!!!

No one should be allowed to go straight “home”. Lock them down at the airport for 14 days!

No one from the US or the UK should be arriving in Bermuda without a mandatory 14 day quarantine at the airport facilities – private jet or NOT!

The students and families on these flights would like to thank the Bermuda Government, Dept. of Transport, the businesses and all that assisted us in returning home during this pandemic. We are a group of 14 split between two flights, and shall be landing around 6PM Bermuda Time. All is well currently otherwise.

My apologies

My daughter is out there, had to move out of her accommodations, has to prepare for exams ( her graduating year), while stressing if she’ll ever get home.

We cannot help but feel like our kids in the UK are being left behind purposely…especially by our so called “Government for the People”!!

Any Bermudian trapped overseas whose not an Atlanta area student is “stupid” and should be ignored…

Thanks for making us feel just a little bit worse today and unwelcome home..

Really grateful for all the awesome work BDA government is doing to get residents home. I am a Bermudian student currently studying in the US and notified (as instructed) the government email of my current situation and didn’t hear back. I was unaware of this flight. Wondering if there was another I could have done/can do in the future in the case that there will be any more flights? I am safe in the U.S at the moment, but would like to be home if possible.

Congratulations to the residents who made it home from Canada on WestJet and from the US today on private aircraft courtesy of the IB Sector, the Government and others. Repatriating residents is not any easy undertaking in this environment, so those of you in the UK, hang in there as your chance may come soon.
