Coronavirus travel: Holidays, flying and quarantine rules - how do YOU feel about travelling during the pandemic?

Jetting off on a summer holiday to somewhere warm feels like a distant memory for many of us, with the coronavirus pandemic putting paid to many of our best-laid plans for foreign sun.

With information around travelling abroad seemingly changing every day, and with the risk of catching the virus still very real if people don't take the proper precautions, many of us are having mixed feelings about whether a holiday abroad is something we want to do this year - even if we feel we need it more than ever.

Now that the UK has removed Spain from its list of safe countries to visit after fears were raised that the European country was experiencing a second wave of coronavirus infections, many people's travel plans have been thrown into chaos.

It means those returning from the country, including the Balearic and Canary islands, will have to self-isolate for two weeks upon their return to the UK.

So, we want to know what you think. Would you feel safe travelling abroad? How would a 14-day quarantine affect you when you got back and would a fortnight in the sun be worth a fortnight of not leaving the house? Tell us in the survey below and we'll bring you the results in the next week.

Meanwhile, the prime minister of Spain has said that the decision to impose a two-week quarantine on everyone arriving back into the UK from his country is "unjust."

Many travellers have had to rethink their plans as a result of the recent decision and it has put some holiday companies in jeopardy.

While the virus remains under control in many areas of Spain, certain areas like Catalonia and Aragon have seen a spike in infections.
