TUI update to customers on latest holiday programme

TUI has again updated its holiday programme following changes to the government's international travel lists.

The British airline on Wednesday made alterations to its cancelled flights due to 'ongoing uncertainty' around travel amid the coronavirus pandemic.

In the government's latest review, the Department for Transport announced seven countries were to move to the green list.

Travellers returning to England from Denmark, Switzerland, and the Azores will no longer have to isolate, along with Canada, Finland, Liechtenstein, and Lithuania.

However Montenegro and Thailand joined the red list, which means Brits will have to quarantine for 10 days in a government-approved hotel on their return.

A statement on TUI's website says they are 'continually reviewing' their holiday programme in line with government updates every three weeks.

Here are the latest changes, as of 7am on Wednesday, September 8:
