I can package this up with flights for an amazing 3 nights luxury break. Don't hang around though I cant seen this deal lasting!

Great news today regarding testing when returning to England from a holiday/ business trip.
In a nutshell fully vaccinated passengers & under 18s will no longer need to take a pre-departure test before returning to England, neither will they have to self isolate whilst waiting for the day 2 test result (which can now be lateral flow rather than PCR)
Does this make you more confident to book your holiday for 2022? I hope so!

Before the year ends I just want to say a massive thank you to everyone who has booked with me or shared my details with friends, family and work colleagues. Despite the big C closing down borders and restricting travel early this year, 2021 has actually been my most successful year since I started my own business 3 1/2 years ago, in fact my best year in nearly 10 years in the industry.
That’s down to everyone who has supported me when travel reopened.
Looking forward to growing the business even further in 2022 with early discussion of the wife joining the business (god help me!)
Thank you all again and let’s hope 2022 is more hassle free for travel and remember me when booking your next trip! ✈️✈️
Cheers and Happy New year 🍾🍾🍾

Ok so Boris has now given us some dates to work with:
12th April - Self catering holidays allowed in UK
17th May - Hotels in the UK open
17th May - Earliest point for International holidays (under review but I would hope by end of June at the latest)
If you want to book a UK break for, or after 12th April then please get in touch as I work with all the main UK suppliers. I will be posting some daily deals from tomorrow.
With regards to International holidays then I am confident these will be allowed this summer to certain locations and looking further ahead by 2022 the world should start to open up fully.
But for now - get that staycation booked with me!
