A major change to the UK travel regulations came into force today.
Fully vaccinated holidaymakers 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 Transport Secretary Grant Shapps confirmed measures would be eased in an announcement last month.

He tweeted: "We are removing ALL testing measures for eligible fully vaccinated arrivals to England from 4am on 11 Feb.
"These changes have been made possible by the success of our vaccine & booster rollout.
"Arrivals in England who aren't fully vaccinated will only need to take a pre-departure test and a PCR test on or before day 2 after arriving in England.
"All passengers will still need to complete a Passenger Locator Form."
The change has been introduced in the run up to half-term and Mr Shapps said this will make travel "a simpler experience".
He added: "Making the right calls at the right time on vaccines and boosters means we now have one of the most open travel sectors in the world.
"Scaling back restrictions before half term means a simpler #travel experience for passengers, especially the fully vaccinated, and stability for the sector throughout 2022."
Each holiday hotspot has its own own entry requirement so travellers are urged to check your destination's Foreign Office travel advice before booking a trip.
We have rounded up the full list of the new travel rules for vaccinated and unvaccinated arrivals into the UK.
New travel regulations if you're vaccinated
