Spain and France have become the most-searched destinations since it was announced UK travel restrictions will be scrapped this week giving a massive boost to holidaymakers. But the UK Civil Aviation Authority is reminding travellers to make sure their long-awaited hassle-free holidays are financially protected.
The UK Government has announced that from 4am on Friday, all remaining Covid-19 international travel restrictions are to be lifted for England and Northern Ireland. Passengers who are not fully vaccinated will no longer have to take Covid tests before and after travelling to the UK, nor will it be necessary to complete a passenger locator form
There are still limited restrictions in place for tourists arriving back in Scotland and Wales, including the requirement to complete a passenger locator form. But passengers are still advised to purchase a trip covered by the ATOL protection scheme, which is built into the cost of air package holidays, to provide financial cover in the unlikely event that a travel company stops trading.
