Children returning from amber list countries to England have been split into three categories with different Covid requirements.
It was announced this morning that people who have been fully vaccinated against coronavirus will not have to quarantine on their return home from amber list countries from July 19.
During the update Transport Secretary Grant Shapps explained that all under-18s were exempt from the double jab requirement, meaning children can skip isolation regardless of their vaccination status.
Depending on their age, they still need to take certain combinations of coronavirus tests however.
Children aged between 11 and 18 need to produce a negative PCR test prior to departing from the amber list country to the UK, as well as a day two test.
Previously they were required to take both, as well as a day eight test.
Children aged between five and ten do not need to take the pre-departure or day eight tests - only the day two one.
Those under the age of four don't need to take any tests.
"Children under-18 returning from amber list countries will not have to isolate, nor take a day eight test," Mr Shapps told the Commons.
"Children between the ages of five and ten will only need to take a day two test and children four and under will be exempt from all testing and isolation requirements."
If you're travelling with children, whether or not they need to take a test, or how many, can significantly alter the price of the getaway.
A family of four with two kids over 11 could still fork out £400 for the testing packages.
When the new travel rules comes into force on July 19, a nationwide mask mandate will also be lifted.
However, several airlines have said that they will continue to keep their face covering rules in place.
An easyJet spokesperson said: "At present there are no changes to easyJet's onboard mask policy."
This means that every child over the age of six will be required to wear a mask onboard easyJet flights - the same policy as Ryanair continues to enforce.
Airlines welcomed the plans to ease travel restrictions more broadly as a positive step.
Heathrow boss John Holland-Kaye said: "This is excellent news that will give a much-needed boost to millions of people across Britain looking forward to a more normal summer and reuniting with family and friends abroad."
While the announcement is for UK residents only, Mr Shapps said ministers are "working to extend our approach to vaccinated passengers from important markets of holiday destinations later this summer, such as the United States and the EU".
Johan Lundgren, easyJet's chief executive, said: "We have always said that vaccination is the key to unlocking travel and now millions will finally be able to reunite with family and loved ones abroad or take that long-awaited trip this summer.
"But with unnecessary testing staying in place, more needs to be done. We do not want to see a return to flying being a preserve of the rich, and expensive testing could sadly make travel out of reach for some this summer."
British Airways chief executive Sean Doyle welcomed the "common sense approach", but said "there is more work to do".
"While the quarantine requirement for amber countries is being lifted for fully vaccinated UK travellers, the Government needs to quickly extend this to all vaccinated travellers, agree a reciprocal deal with the US, add more countries to the green list and reduce the need for unnecessary, expensive tests," he added.
Tim Alderslade, chief executive of the Airlines UK industry body, welcomed the announcement as a "positive move towards the genuine reopening" for the ailing sector.
"The summer season essentially starts here," he added.
Among the technicalities for the move as it stands is that the exemption will only apply to those who have received their vaccines from the NHS.
The Prime Minister's official spokesman said: "It does need to be a vaccine administered through the NHS rollout so you would need to have received your vaccine through the NHS rather than in a different country."
