Jet2 has restarted flights to amber list countries as Covid restrictions ease.
Jet2.com and Jet2 holidays on Monday, July 19 began flying to over 40 now quarantine-free destinations across the world.
As of Monday, fully-vaccinated adults and children travelling with them don't have to observe an isolation period after returning from countries rated 'amber' on the Government's traffic light system.

That puts the higher-risk countries on a par with those on the green list, although people who haven't had both vaccine doses will still have to isolate if they visit them.
More than 60 Jet2 flights lifted off on Monday from airports including Newcastle, as well as Belfast International, Birmingham, Bristol, East Midlands, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds Bradford, London Stansted and Manchester.
They were bound for popular sunshine hotspots including the Balearic Islands, the Canary Islands, Spain, Portugal and Greece.
The company has also added extra flights to Croatia onto its schedule after the country was included on the green list.
Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, said: “Today marks a big step up for our award-winning operation, as we are now operating flights and holidays to over 40 quarantine-free destinations.
"Feedback from customers and independent travel agents has been telling us for some time that there is enormous pent-up demand from holidaymakers looking to get away this summer, so it is fantastic to see full aircraft taking customers away to their favourite sunshine destinations.
“With fantastic deals available right now, a wide choice of sunshine hotspots, the best hotels and rooms to choose from and a track record for delivering industry-leading customer service, there is no better time for customers to book that holiday they have been dreaming of.
"We look forward to welcoming more customers back onboard this summer and giving them the holiday they deserve.”
