Показать описание
THE first flights carrying fully vaccinated Brits arrived into New York City on Monday, sparking emotional scenes at JFK airport as loved ones were finally able to reunite.
In scenes reminiscent of hit movie Love Actually, families were pictured greeting one another at the arrivals gate after a nearly two year ban on visitors from the UK due to the pandemic.
The Sun was at JFK to speak with those who made the journey on Monday after the travel ban to the US was finally lifted.
Catherine Tramadol, from London, told The Sun she was here to visit her aunt who is ill and who she hasn't seen for two years.
She said: "I just can't wait to see her. It's been really hard but I'm so happy to be here now."
Bhavna Patel, told The Sun she was meeting her one-year-old grandson Kai for the first time and reuniting with her son, Kushal Patel and his wife, Anisha for the first time in more than a year.
She said: "The flight started with dancing and singing - celebrating. It was so exciting, we were just counting down the hours.
"We've been FaceTiming but it's not really the same. We missed his birthday by just a few weeks 17th of October. It was hard, and so long - nobody should suffer this way."
