Covid testing requirements have been removed for fully vaccinated travellers arriving in the UK.
From 4am on February 11, arrivals only need to fill out a simplified Passenger Locator Form (PLF) confirming their vaccination status, travel history and contact details.
Transport Secretary Grant Shapps hailed the change as a "landmark moment" for travel making it easier and cheaper for families to holiday abroad over the school half term.
Those who are not double-jabbed need to take a pre-departure test and a PCR test on or before day two after they arrive in the UK.
They also need to fill out a PLF but will not need to self-isolate unless they test positive.
