Martin Lewis' urgent warning to all holidaymakers as restrictions lift

As flight and hotel restrictions begin to lift across the globe, many people are now considering the possibility of being able to jet off abroad.

The current government guidance currently says that people should only travel for 'essential' purposes, though it is believed that this information could change in the coming weeks.

As flight operators begin to take off once again, they're offering some lucrative deals to holidaymakers.

But while it can be tempting to book a flight somewhere hot after months of being cooped up inside, Martin Lewis is urging Brits to approach with caution, reports the ECHO.

He said: "So first see if you can book something with cancellation rights - effectively just reserve a room and a price, which some hotels give.

"Or book via a travel agent such as Hays Travel, which offers no-quibble cancellation rights up to six weeks before travel on some holidays (though there's always a solvency risk).

"If that still works out too expensive, then it's a choice between taking a punt and waiting a bit until we know more.

"If you can bag a £60 return to the Canaries for travel in a few months' time, you may just want to book it with your fingers crossed (not easy if you're booking online). But the costlier it is, the more caution is needed."

The new flight rules Brits need to follow when travelling
