TUI have issued an update to all their passengers following the latest changes being introduced to international travel.
From 4am on Tuesday December 7, all holidaymakers will need to have a negative lateral flow or PCR test before they return to the UK, taken no more than 48 hours before travel.
This latest change in travel restrictions comes amid concerns over the rising number of Omicron cases in the UK and abroad. It's hoped that additional travel measures will curb the spread of this new coronavirus variant.
Travellers must also take a PCR test within two days after their arrival in the UK, and self-isolate until they have a negative test result.

All arrivals need to complete a passenger locator form, which they must fill in within 48 hours before they depart.
The holiday operator has assured customers that flights are going ahead.
In a statement, TUI said: “We would like to reassure customers that their holiday is still due to operate as planned, and our destination teams are confirming testing availability for customers in resort. Customers in resorts should contact their TUI representative for their nearest testing clinic.
“For customers due to travel after December 8, we recommend you order your tests today or on Monday so they can be delivered to your home before you depart on your flight.”
TUI customers who are no longer able to travel are asked to contact the airline to discuss their options, which includes changing their holiday free of charge.
TUI added: “We would like to thank our customers for their understanding at this time.”
