TUI updates on pre-departure Covid testing for passengers arriving into UK

Airline and holiday operator TUI has updated its guidance to travellers as Covid testing requirements to enter the UK change.

All passengers entering the UK will now need to have a negative lateral flow or PCR test before departure, which must be taken within 48 hours before travel.

This will come into effect from 4am on Tuesday, December 7.

TUI said in a statement on the change: "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 resorts.

"Customers in resorts should contact their TUI representative for their nearest testing clinic."

For customers due to travel after December 8, TUI recommends they order their tests as soon as possible so they can be delivered to their homes before they depart on a flight.

TUI added: "For customers who are unable to travel as planned, please contact us on 0203 451 2688 to discuss your options, which includes changing your holiday fee-free.

"Our normal opening hours are Monday-Friday 9am – 7pm, Saturday 9am – 6pm or Saturday 10am – 5pm. Alternatively, if customers are at destinations, please contact our 24/7 TUI Experience Centre on +44 3333 365 147.

"We would like to thank our customers for their understanding at this time."
