Pre-flight covid testing has now been scrapped in a new change to Scotland's international travel rules.
Travellers in and out of Scotland are now used to frequent changes to the rules, but the latest raft of regulations reflects the winding down of covid measures by the UK Government.
The UK government announced at the end of last year that the traffic light system would be scrapped, and that travel would depend on your vaccination status.
If you are fully vaccinated in Scotland and flying into Scotland or the rest of the UK, you no longer need to take a pre-departure covid test or a day two PCR antigen test.
The new rules came into force at 4am on Friday February 10, just in time for the February half term break when Scots are expected to jet off on holiday.
