Following an announcement by the UK government that fully vaccinated travellers no longer need a pre-departure test to return to England and that day-2 PCR tests can be replaced by a lateral flow test, British low-cost airline Jet2 has seen bookings for Spain leap by some 150%.

By putting on special offers to coincide with the new travel rules, Jet2 bookings more than doubled in the first two weeks of the New Year, with flight reservations actually going back up to pre-pandemic levels.

CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, Steve Heapy, said, “The relaxation of travel restrictions is welcome news for both the travel industry and holidaymakers and comes during what is traditionally a very busy period for holiday bookings. We were already heading into the New Year with a strong feeling of positivity and confidence, and the removal of these restrictions really gets 2022 off to a great start”.

Meanwhile, Ryanair is suffering a setback as a Spanish consumer affairs body has decided to fine them 24,000 euros for charging passengers to take hand luggage on board their flights.
