Holidays are back on the menu. The UK Government has named all countries as ‘clear for travel’ and has reduced testing requirements – so it’s much easier to plan your next trip.

If you are fully-vaccinated, you do not need to take a PCR test before returning home to the UK. Once you’re in the UK, you just need to take a lateral flow test within two days of your arrival. Please note, this test must be from a private test provider – NHS lateral flow tests are not accepted. You do not need to isolate.

If you are unvaccinated, however, you will still need to take a pre-departure test in your destination before returning home. And once you’re back in the UK, you must quarantine at home for 10 days, and take a PCR test on days 2 and 8. There is an option to test to release on day 5.

Remember that entry requirements vary for each country, so it’s best to check whether your destination requires proof of a negative test before entry. 

We’ve teamed up with a number of suppliers to offer discounted PCR and lateral flow tests, so you can book a testing package from as little as £21.50. And remember, your Travelbag holiday is automatically covered by our COVID Pledge and flexible booking policy.
