Travel Restrictions and Government Advice
After such a difficult year for the industry and our customers we aim to make your holiday as simple as possible. In such everchanging situations travel is determined by the restrictions put in place by the FCDO. Click here to see an up-to-date list of the travel restrictions in place for each destination.
There have also been some changes to entry requirements for a number of the destinations we travel to and changes to arrivals into the UK after you’ve been away. We hope the following advice and useful links will help you to plan your holiday and ensure you a have a trouble-free time whilst you're abroad and keep you aware of any changes to the country that you are travelling to. Advice is given specially in relation to each destination. It is therefore most important that you check this before you travel and know your entry requirements before you go.
Please DO NOT travel if you or any of your party are showing symptoms of COVID-19. Please stay at home and follow the NHS guidelines to keep yourself, your family and others safe. Find out more here.
Top Tips for Travelling
1) Make sure you can travel to that destination. Travel advice, restrictions and entry requirements are all available via the Foreign and Commonwealth website here.
2) Check entry requirements. Check the entry requirements of the destination you’re travelling to, as you may need to fill in a form and take a COVID-19 test before you travel and /or self-isolate on return to the UK. Please check these regularly, as they can change at short notice.
3) Make sure you have comprehensive and adequate travel insurance which as a minimum, protect you against cancellation, curtailment, medical expenses, loss/theft of possessions and documents, personal liability and airline failure, (not limited to) medical health and cancellation refunds for your travel. Although you can benefit from our Travel Restrictions Guarantee allowing you to move or cancel your booking, we still recommend that you purchase full travel insurance to protect you in any eventuality. Find out more here.
4) Stay safe abroad as you would at home and continue protecting yourself and others from the spread of COVID-19. Follow the guidance set in place by the World Health Organisation and any local protocols that are in place for visitors in that destination.
5) Research the destination and local area to ensure that you are aware of any limited access to public facilities such as restaurants, supermarkets, attraction parks, some may be limited or unavailable during the Covid 19 pandemic or recovery period. This unfortunately is beyond anyone’s control. One of the advantages of a private villa with a pool, you still have many facilities to enjoy but in the privacy of your own villa
6) Take PPE equipment with you such as masks, gloves and hand sanitiser to ensure you are prepared for your flight and when you arrive in resort. See the Re-open EU website for more information.
