This has come into action 2 years after the first lockdown and restrictions due to covid!
Travel bosses said lifting the rules was the “final game-changer”.
Aviation minister Robert Courts said: “Everything we have worked for – every jab, every test, and the sacrifices made by the whole country means that finally, nearly two years on, we can all travel without bureaucratic restrictions.”

This restriction has been timed perfectly for the Easter holidays, says the government, but added that contingency plans had been drawn up to respond to any future Covid variants.
“The removal of all travel restrictions is the final game-changer – people can now go on holiday or visit family and friends overseas without all of the stress that comes with testing before they return home, finally we’ve seen the back of the unpopular and ineffective passenger locator forms, which were always a hassle to complete. Travel has been in turmoil for two years but now it’s back,” said Derek Jones, chief executive of Kuoni.
This restriction has been taken away with the understanding that people must check the rules of the country their traveling to. as yes our country has had the restrictions lifted but other countries may have restrictions and testing requirements still in place.
