It should be a joyous time for the travel industry: holidays were officially given the go-ahead this week, and some hardy travellers (including me) headed off for the sun.

Only four nations are feasible destinations among the 12 countries and territories announced by the transport secretary, Grant Shapps: Portugal, Iceland, Israel and Gibraltar.

With much of the rest of the world in the “amber” category, there has been confusion this week over whether holidaymakers should travel to these destinations despite government guidance.

From passengers’ rights to quarantine rules, flexible bookings to bagging a bargain, I’ll be on hand to answer your travel questions live on Thursday 20 May.

All you have to do is register to submit your question in the comments below. If you’re not already a member, click “sign up” in the comments box to leave your question.

Don’t worry if you can’t see your question – they will be hidden until I join the conversation to answer them. Then join us live on this page at 4pm as I tackle as many questions as I can.
