Full list of holiday destinations Brits can travel to from TODAY without quarantining in England
BRITS can officially go back on holiday from today without having to quarantine in England.
Last week, the government announced the full list of air bridge countries which would allow holidaymakers to visit without spending two weeks in isolation on their return.
The new rules come into place from today, while the travel ban for the air bridge destinations was lifted on July 4.
While Brits returning from these countries will be able to skip the 14-day quarantine, it should be noted that there may still be travel bans or quarantine restrictions in those countries.
Countries including Greece has been included on the the list, despite the country extending its ban on UK flights until July 15, while New Zealand is still not letting Brits in.
The US is not expected to form any travel agreements with the UK until at least November.
The rules are also slightly different in Scotland, with the current air bridge plans not including Spain and Serbia on the list.
