Finally, I am hoping it's time for us to begin to open up the travel pathways once again.
I have truly missed being on those beaches, feeling the warmth on the skin, the little tickles on the ankles from paddling in the warm sea. The wellbeing we feel from such happiness can't be matched. Have you missed it?
The advice can seem a little daunting if you haven't travelled since before Covid times and I would love to help make some sense of that - so I created this video:
And all of the advice which I mention can be accessed here: (Do let me know if it helps you) and please take note that my Youtube channel will be centred around travel more this year than it was last year. Let me know if you have requests or questions!
Requirements to travel from the UK:
See the Gov website here and enter your country of travel:
Tui contacted me- as we are going to Tunisia later in the year. This is what they said:
We hope you’re looking forward to your TUI holiday and we are delighted that travel is now even easier, thanks to the government simplifying UK re-entry requirements. And at TUI, we’re here to support you every step of the way.
If you’re fully vaccinated or under 18, you no longer need to complete a pre-departure test before your return flight to the UK, or self-isolate on your arrival. And, from the 9th January, the day 2 PCR test on entry to the UK can be replaced with the cheaper antigen (rapid flow) test – available through TUI’s testing partner,Chronomics, from just £15.
If you change your mind, we promise you the flexibility to makefee-free changesto your holiday including date, duration, hotel, flight or destination.
• If you’re due to travel on or before 31 January 2022, you can make fee-free changes up until 14 days before departure • If you’re due to travel between 1 February and 30 April 2022, you can make fee-free changes up until 28 days before departure
And, for all our customers, whenever you’re due to travel, if your situation changes and you’re unable to travel due to the following reasons – you can make a fee-free change right up until your day of departure(subject to conditions below*): • If you or someone in your party tests positive for COVID-19 • If you’re officially required to self-isolate* • If there’s a local lockdown in the area you live in and you’re unable to travel* • If vaccination, testing or quarantine requirements have changed since you booked and you are therefore no longer able to travel* • If we let you know of restrictions in your destination that have been introduced after you booked that will significantly impact your holiday enjoyment*
Easy and affordable testing
Whether you’re heading off on a package holiday, or you’ve booked just your flights or hotel stay with us, testing is now easier and more affordable than ever. We’ve teamed up with government-authorised suppliers Chronomics, Klarity, Randox, Screen 4 and ExpressTest to offer a range of testing options from as little as £15.
If you’ve booked a package holiday, flight or hotel stay, you’re entitled to your money back within a guaranteed 14 days in the unlikely event that we have to cancel it. But you’ll also have other options, including changing your package booking to another holiday, fee-free.
Red list pledge
We won’t take you to a destination that’s on the red list or where the government advises against all but essential travel. If your destination is moved to the red list before you go, you can change your holiday to a different destination, or to a later date. Or, if your destination is still on the red list at the time of your departure, we’ll let you know that your holiday’s been cancelled, and you can request a refund in full within 14 days.
If your destination is moved to the red list while you’re on holiday, we’ll do our best to bring you back before the quarantine requirement begins. Plus, you’ll get a refund for any holiday nights lost.
TUI standards secured
Before you go, we’ll let you know if there are any restrictions in your destination that we believe could significantly impact your holiday enjoyment, and we’ll give you the chance to change your booking. Plus, you’ll be supported 24/7 during your holiday, thanks to the TUI app. It’s super-easy to use, and it’ll mean we can keep in touch with you every step of the way. You can chat to us via the app, or – if you prefer – you can contact our resort team 24/7 by phone or SMS.
From the whole of the TUI team, we’re looking forward to welcoming you on holiday.
JUST SO YOU KNOW…Most holiday insurance policies now include cover for medical expenses and other costs due to contracting COVID-19 – please ensure you check your policy for details.We recommend AXA
