Holidaymakers are currently planning their next getaway as the UK government continues to ease covid measures.
Transport Secretary Grant Shapps lifted restrictions earlier this month so fully vaccinated Brits no longer need to take a test after arriving back into the country.
Double-jabbed travellers had previously needed to take a lateral flow test two days after returning to the country, but now only need to fill out a pre-departure form.

Those who have yet to receive both jabs need to fill out a passenger locator form in the two days before departure - and also need to take a pre-departure test within the 48 hours before travel.
However, each holiday hotspot has its own entry requirements so travellers are urged to check their destination's Foreign Office travel advice before booking a trip.
Japan has enforced one of the strictest travel policies as foreign nationals, including UK travellers, who do not have existing resident status are not permitted to enter Japan for any purpose, other than in exceptional circumstances.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan state the validity of visas to enter Japan are suspended unless you are the "spouse or child of a Japanese National."
There is no specific date when Japan could lift the ban, but the country's coronavirus response minister has indicated the rules could be relaxed soon.
According to Bloomberg, Daishiro Yamagiwa said in the country's parliament: “We took on some of the strictest border measures among the G-7 when much about Omicron was unknown.
“But if we aren’t going to see a change in case numbers in Japan and overseas, the border controls themselves become more irrelevant so we have to keep that in mind.”
