Some international travel is finally getting underway, the UK Government has unveiled its traffic light system to safely restart travel from England and Scotland from Monday 17th of May.
What is the traffic light system?
The traffic light system is a method where countries are assigned different colours (green, amber and red) based on a range of key factors. For more details on the traffic light system, visit the UK Government website.
Which countries are on the green list?
Here are all the green list countries we can take you to. If you’re looking to book your next adventure, we currently have more seats to European green list destinations than any other airline.
Regardless of green, amber or red categorisation, each country listed below currently has its own entry requirements which customers will need to comply with. It’s important you check local requirements before travel.
Green: Before you travel back to England or Scotland you'll need to complete a passenger locator form, have proof of a negative predeparture COVID-19 test taken within 72 hours of your departure, book and pay in advance for a COVID-19 test to be taken on day 2 of your arrival. Once you arrive back into England or Scotland, you do not need to quarantine, but you'll have to take a COVID-19 test on day 2 of your arrival home. For more information, visit government websites here. For England and for Scotland.

Amber: The UK Government states that you should not travel to amber list countries or territories for leisure purposes. If you've been in an amber country or territory in the 10 days before you arrive in England or Scotland then you'll need to complete a passenger locator form, have proof of a negative predeparture COVID-19 test taken within 72 hours of your departure, book and pay in advance for a COVID-19 test to be taken on day 2 and 8 of your arrival. Once back in England or Scotland, you'll need to quarantine at home for 10 days and take a COVID-19 test on or before day 2 and on or after day 8 of your arrival home. You can opt for test-and-release, but you'll have to have been back in England or Scotland for a full 5 days first. For more information, visit government websites here. For England and for Scotland.
