I can’t find the reference, but I believe the 270 days (some EU countries are longer) is from the relevant final shot from the initial vax (ie 2nd jab of AX, Pz etc). So long as you had/get a booster within the time limit, you are then considered “fully vaccinated“ and that currently has indefinite validity.

I had my certificates all neatly printed for our UK trip and not one person asked to see them on any part of our trip, and on QR.I was surprised by the Portugal entry (now OBE) but also Qatar. I was literally reading the story while watching SYD+1s QR flight SIN-DOH on final approach and starting to wonder if transits were ok
It surprised me how few wore masks on QR flight except during the embark/disembark process.
No one in the UK has asked to see our certificates so far either. The only time we’ve had to show anything so far was at Eurostar check-in at St Pancras (completing passport control to enter France). AU certificates were sufficient. Bloke gave them a cursory glance and scanned the QR codes to verify them.
Clearly still compulsory on ALL public transport incl flts to / fro / within Germany
We thought the same but we still wore masks on the sub and in crowded places like tourist attractions. And on all planes. Three weeks into our trip, (two weeks ago) a positive! Unwell and knew the instant it hit. In Holyrood Palace in Edinburgh. And the day we arrived back, a week ago I tested positive. I have had no symptoms, MrP felt unwell, feverish, extreme fatigue. We are both vaxxed four times. So it might be ignored by all but it still exists.
SYD+1 just flew into BER and masks off everywhere, including airport staff, immigration officers (who was indifferent to sighting ICVC) and train into town. What a difference six weeks make.
We don't want to ignore it as it's still relevant.
Not true at all. That claim is continually thrown about by people who want to be shut down until, well, there's no date. There has been two years minimum of significant restrictions. There are hidden costs everywhere, to physical and mental health, that haven't been revealed as yet. Kids education and social interactions have been significantly impacted. Hopefully can be caught up. Farmers aren't planting full crops because there are no seasonal travellers from overseas to pick them. That means - food, and right at a time when Ukraine as a significant supplier to food in Europe can't produce it.
Well $#@ me! I booked a trip months ago (for the future) just moments before they reversed their acceptance of non-essential Australian travellers, so to speak. A month later they allowed Aus tourists back, but only with testing (ok, fine), just a week ago the situation was unchanged, and then yay 22 June and they've seen the light. Portuguese bureaucracy is... bonza, especially when the primary means of communication about the rules is a tourism page (trust me, it was even extremely difficult to find Portuguese source info).Portugal now recognises AIVC.

For many obvious reasons: available time, available routings, personal priorities. And until recently (and perhaps still in some places), the fact that you can move freely within Schengen now doesn't mean you have guaranteed full access to all facilities unless you achieve the use of a local covid-pass app. Most reports seem to indicate that most venues even in difficult countries are not troubled by an Australian-issued international Covid certificate, but the official rules aren't always accepting it, so you could occasionally still have problems.
