ALL ABOUT TRAVEL

Some of our holiday destinations have introduced testing, as well as pre-departure forms – designed to help manage and trace cases of COVID-19 – as an entry requirement.

Each country has different requirements on the timeframe in which you need to complete your form and/or test. And, some countries will allow you to do your own at-home swab test for COVID-19, while others require you to have a test carried out by a clinician.

If you don’t meet the entry requirements for the country you’re travelling to, you could be denied boarding and/or be subject to health assessments when you arrive. Here’s the latest guidelines on these entry requirements in general, please remember to keep checking, as guidelines can and do change frequently:

​

• Testing requirements vary by country. 

• Some countries require you to arrange your own test, and provide evidence of a negative result, a certain number of days in advance of your holiday, or you won’t be able to fly. Some countries require you to take a test on arrival. Other countries will allow you to do either.  

• Some countries require a test carried out by a clinician, others will let you perform an at-home test on yourself. 

• The specific information for the countries we’re flying to currently is featured further down on this page.  

• Just so you know, if you test positive on arrival in your destination, you may be required to self-isolate in a medical facility or your hotel room until your results come back negative.  

• You need to make your own arrangements to take the test and it’s your responsibility to ensure you get the correct tests carried out in line with the requirements for the country you’re travelling to.
