It is not one month, 17th of May till August and more uncertainty
Foreign holidays are unlikely to get the go-ahead until August, according to senior government figures.

Officials have warned that the government’s review of foreign holidays, due on April 12, will not recommend the restarting of international leisure travel until later in the summer.

The government’s roadmap out of lockdown has touted May 17 as the earliest possible date people would be able to take foreign holidays.

But this is looking increasingly unlikely and those who attempt to leave England to go on holiday will be fined £5,000 under new laws that kick in on Monday.

A high ranking source told the Sunday Times that the May 17 date was now looking “very optimistic” and said: “August is looking like the most likely
‘Hold off booking foreign holiday’ warns UK Government minister
Officials have warned that even when the ban is lifted people will only be able to travel easily to countries with good vaccination rates, like Israel.

A Whitehall official familiar with discussions between the Department for Transport and the travel industry said: “There will be a system of travel corridors to green-list countries with good vaccination rates. Israel, here we come!”

One plan under consideration is a traffic-light system that would allow travel to “green list” countries with very low rates of infection.

Passengers coming from safe countries would simply take a lateral flow test on their return without needing to quarantine.

Those coming from a country on the “amber list”, nations with moderate rates of infection, would need a negative PCR test before travel. They could also be required to quarantine and take a lateral flow test on their return.


Anyone coming from a “red list” country, with very high cases of coronavirus, would be required to quarantine in an airport hotel for two weeks.

Europe is currently in the grips of a third wave of Covid-19 and countries like France, where the virus is surging, could be added to the red list.

Out of popular summer holiday destinations, only Portugal has a lower infection rate than Britain, with 30 cases per 100,000.

The figure is 130 in Germany, 260 in Italy, 350 in Sweden and 370 in France.

Dr Mike Tildesley, a member of the Scientific Pandemic Influenza Group on Modelling (Spi-M), told Times Radio: “What we don’t want is new variants coming in that undo all the good that our vaccination programme has done.”

In England, people will be able to stay in self-contained accommodation from April 12.

One month's delay isn't a write off. Future waves will be gone with vaccines.Certainty trumps all the bears in this recovery.July/Aug summer holidays (which is normally the summer period, so I can't see the problem others have with this) are on and the recent drop has seen that priced in through insider info and panic sellers reading Sky News.If you think about it, it's actually good news, so after the panic's sell first two hours we'll be off again.

So many have taken a punt on loss making shares assuming a recovery after Covid.
A third or forth way could destroy confidence.

I will stay invested here, but this year will be another write off.

The government is said to be considering a four-tier traffic light system that could allow Brits to travel abroad for summer holidays this year.

The prime minister’s global travel taskforce is weighing up plans submitted by Heathrow Airport that includes an ‘amber’ three-day quarantine option.

Read the news! You are not allowed to leave the UK.

[creddy] 23/3/2021 21:58

So all the influencers will be heading off to Greece and Spain for 'work' purposes then. Must be enough of them to fill couple dozen planes. Every little helps. I can see this heading back to 3 squid short term. Hope I'm wrong.

Errr... we're British Citizens not British Subjects. We cannot be prevented from leaving Britain whilst we have valid passports.

[donald t] 23/3/2021 20:20

We are not allowed to leave the UK for fear of bringing 'new variants' back and facing a £5 000 fine. Meanwhile 100 migrants have arrived on our shores today.

The law says no-one may “leave England to travel to a destination outside the United Kingdom, or travel to, or be present at, an embarkation point for the purpose of travelling from there to a destination outside the United Kingdom” without a reasonable excuse.

It suggests anyone who breaks such rules could face a £5,000 fine.

Boris Johnson told a Downing Street press briefing on Tuesday that it was “too early to say” whether foreign holidays will be allowed but rising cases in Europe meant “things certainly look difficult for the time being”.
At least when we get the green light we can be off to Spain

[bookbroker] 23/3/2021 19:23

No chance of holidays on the Med. until Covid under control in Europe, why jeopardise the work done in this country. If you are taking a holiday you should have negative tests on departure and arrival over the course of several days. Hopefully the British public will have more sense than to mix with a confection of European strangers, but I doubt it!

[bc4] 23/3/2021 19:17

It all depends on when the UK allows people to travel they have only just announced a £5000 pound fine so it could 3 months of more

BREAKING - GREECE & SPAIN TO EASE RESTRICTIONS ON FLIGHTS FROM UK
Greek tourism minister - 'From sometime in mid-April we should be able to accept UK citizens, and those from other highly vaccinated countries, to test the new rules at a few entry points, not all 20 airports, but the ones most commonly used, such as Corfu, Heraklion in Crete, Athens and Thessaloniki.”
The UK is our No 2 source market and so it’s very important for us
Our scientists tell me with the vaccination programmes moving forward both in Greece and the UK, the weather helping as it did last year, and with all the restrictions in place limiting spread of the disease, things will be much better by mid-May,” he said.

On Tuesday afternoon, the Spanish government announced that restrictions on flights from the UK would be lifted on 30 March to bring them in line with arrivals from the Schengen area.

“Flight restrictions will remain in place for flights from South Africa and Brazil, but not for those from the United Kingdom,” the government’s spokeswoman, María Jesús Montero, told a press conference.
