Easter marks the first school holiday in the UK where there have been no coronavirus travel restrictions. Holiday bookings abroad have boomed as Brits make the most of finally enjoying a family getaway.
But due to coronavirus-related illness some airlines, including easyJet and British Airways, have had to cancel flights. More than 100 flights scheduled for Wednesday (6 April) were axed across the UK.

To reduce the impact on passengers, most cancellations are being made at least a day in advance and on routes with multiple daily flights, so passengers can be offered alternative departures.
