Hi
Does anyone know if the authorities will allow UK citizens to cross the border from Spain into Gibraltar for a prebooked flight to the UK ?
i believe the border is closed except certain workers etc but unsure about travellers with flights booked
many thanks
It's my understanding that they will. Obviously have all of your documentation with you as you will almost certainly be stopped en route and of course at the border so you need to be able to prove why you are out, where you are going and why. Good luck!

Hi
My sister had a flight from Gibraltar on Saturday which was cancelled and she was put on a “rescue” flight on Sunday 24th - check your flight is still available before you leave - having said that she had no problem crossing the border. She had to show her passport and boarding pass though to prove she had a flight.
Hope this helps and you get home safely.

I doubt there are many locations in UK better than Alcazaba. If you have TV/netflix/prime video or suchlike, then best stay where you are. Almost certainly you would have to be quarantined on arrival; we are in Sinfonia del Mar and couldnt be better. Good Luck whatever you do.

Why are you quoting me? I was simply answering the OP's question to the best of my ability.....

Can you enter Gibraltar for shopping now? Is a UK passport all that is required to enter and to 're enter Spain is the Passport plus Residencia sufficient
