Key Things To Note

All vaccinated travellers and children under 12 years of age can go to most of our destinations without testing.
Unvaccinated or not fully vaccinated travellers 12 years of age and over need to produce a negative test for our destinations.
Most destinations only require the EU Passenger Locator Form (PLF) or similar form to be completed and submitted before your holiday.
On holiday, vaccinated travellers can enjoy all hospitality venues without restrictions. Those who are unvaccinated/not fully vaccinated can do the same in France but may need to test or prove recovery for other destinations. There may still be local advice to wear masks on public transport and in some public spaces.
