Rush in half-term holiday bookings as UK drops Covid testing for fully vaccinated travellers

Hundreds of thousands of people will be embarking on a half-term getaway later this month after the UK scrapped coronavirus testing for fully vaccinated travellers.

Turkey, Egypt and Portugal are amongst the most popular short-haul destinations, while Florida, Dubai, Mexico and the Caribbean have all sold well for long-haul holidays.

The UK’s rules for arriving travellers were eased from 4am on Friday morning.
