United Kingdom
Starting 4 AM on 18th March 2022, the UK will be removing all its remaining COVID-19 restrictions.
This includes the Passenger Locator Form (PLF) for arrivals in the UK as well as tests for people who don’t qualify as vaccinated. Consequently, this removes the need for unvaccinated passengers to take a pre-departure test and a post-arrival test on Day 2.

TRAVEL UPDATE
All remaining Covid travel measures, including the Passenger Locator Form and tests for all arrivals, will be stood down for travel to the UK from 4am on 18 March.
These changes are possible due to our vaccine rollout and mean greater freedom in time for Easter.
