Updates from Tui over its summer schedule have been released and there is both good and bad news for those hoping for a holiday abroad.
The operator made changes after the government's recent review of travel restrictions.
A number of destinations, including the Balearic Islands and Malta, were added to the "green list" of locations, meaning visitors won't need to quarantine on their return.
