Travelling KSA to Scotland
Anyone know if this is feasible, without being incarcerated in a Government approved hotel?
Could I land at Heathrow then take the train to Scotland and quarantine at home? Strange times indeed! |

Against the rules.

Re: Travelling KSA to Scotland
But as KSA isn’t on the UK’s red list then why would you be required to quarantine in a hotel? But if it was, then potentially the only way to avoid hotel quarantine would be to have a connecting flight to Scotland at LHR (booked under 1 ticket from KSA). When clearing immigration at LHR - there’s usually a separate immigration counter when connecting to domestic flights - they would simply tell you to quarantine at a hotel upon arrival at your Scottish airport but I don’t think they can enforce it. That is unless UKBA at LHR tell their counterparts at your Scottish airport in advance of your arrival, but I don’t think they have the time/resources to do that.

Travellling on a public train and then quarantining does not make much sense.

"The UK government's health secretary Matt Hancock has previously said passengers arriving in England from "low risk" countries would be required to quarantine at home - even if their home was in Scotland - rather than face hotel quarantine at their point of entry." |

Re: Travelling KSA to Scotland
And that's exactly what I will do. But planning to arrive at LHR shortly after 17th May, in the hope that both KSA and UK COVID-19 requirements will be relaxed by then. I'll have had my second AZ shot by then, so that might be a factor in my favour.
