After nearly two years of tough travel restrictions many Brits will be looking forward to jetting away on a foreign holiday this year.
Earlier this month restrictions were eased in the UK by Transport Secretary Grant Shapps, making it easier for people to return to the UK.
Double-jabbed arrivals in the UK no longer need to take a Covid test, and only need to complete a passenger locator form, LiverpoolEcho reports.
Those who are not fully-jabbed need to complete the form and take a pre-departure test within 48 hours before travel.

Although requirements for travellers have been lifted here, it’s important to be aware of the rules at your holiday destination.
Here are the latest changes to travel restrictions for countries including Canada, India, Spain and Tunisia.
Fully vaccinated UK holidaymakers can currently visit Canada if they show proof of a negative PCR test taken within 72 hours of arrival.
However, the Canadian government has announced PCR test requirements for double-jabbed British travellers will be scrapped later this month.
From February 28, antigen tests will also be accepted for double jabbed arrivals as long as this has been taken the day before travel.
Unvaccinated travellers who are not Canadian nationals will not be able to enter the country unless they meet specific exemptions.
From Monday, fully vaccinated travellers no longer need to quarantine or take pre-departure tests to enter India.
Travellers will still need to submit a self-declaration form on the online “Air Suvidha” portal before the scheduled travel.
Children under five years old don’t have to fill out the declaration form.
