Nations are easing Covid travel rules as the Easter holiday period approaches, but sunseekers planning a well-earned break could still face disruption to their plans. Popular destinations are relaxing the strictest regulations ahead of the big holiday getaway, but many flights could still be delayed or cancelled.
To reduce the impact on passengers, most cancellations are being made at least a day in advance and on routes with multiple daily flights, so passengers can be offered alternative departures. British Airways said many of its most recent cancellations include flights cut as part of its decision last month to reduce its schedule until the end of May.
Airports are also struggling from the combination of staff shortages and a spike in demand as many families head abroad for the school Easter holiday, which is the first since the UK’s coronavirus restrictions for international travellers were dropped.
