TUI issue customer holiday update as red list changes come into force

TUI has updated its flight list as more than 40 countries are removed from the red list today.

On Friday the airline released a list of countries it is currently operating to - as well as flights which have been cancelled due to ‘ongoing uncertainty’ surrounding international travel.

Following a government announcement on Thursday, 47 countries were dropped from the red list from 4am on Monday, meaning passengers no longer need to spend 11 nights quarantining in a hotel upon their arrival.

Just seven countries remain on the red list, which are Colombia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Haiti, Panama, Peru and Venezuela.

Advice against non-essential travel to a further 42 countries and territories has also been lifted by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), making it easier for people to obtain travel insurance for trips to those destinations.

Tui have advised customers to check the latest advice for Covid requirements at their destination.
